Our owner and founder, Shadow May, started off making deer jerky over a decade ago. For years he was giving it away to friends while working in manufacturing at Volkswagen, all-the-while testing and refining new flavors. What better place to have a test audience taste and critique your jerky than 40 hungry, hard working men? 

Soon, the idea of selling hand made jerky turned into the active pursuit of building a business;  we painstakingly remodeled a small building into a commercial kitchen and were granted permits and licenses through the Tennessee Dept. Of Agriculture. After working through the long and grueling process of attaining USDA we were granted our permits in June of 2023!
