Our story

Bootleg jerky,
gone legit.

Joe's Jerky is the creation of Jodie Patla and her father, Joe Robinson, a Vietnam veteran with a lifetime of experience as a meat cutter.

After Joe's wife passed, Jodie got him making jerky for the American Legion and VFW to stay active. Joe had a knack for it, and everyone kept asking for more.

In 2011 they decided to legalize their bootleg jerky and go into business full time. Joe's Jerky was born, and it's still a family operation today.

★ Jerky for the Troops ★

Send a bag to someone serving.

The military is close to our hearts. Joe served during Vietnam, and Jodie's brother did two tours in Iraq. He always asked for jerky, and Joe always sent several pounds to share.

For $5, a bag goes overseas in a troop care package with a “Thank you for your service” label carrying your name or message.

“This is not some marketing ploy we came up with.” — Jodie
