Beef Jerky?

San Juan Capistrano, CA- In our country's early days, jerking meat-that is, cutting it into thin strips and then drying it-was the main method of preserving it. When meat was treated in this way, it kept longer than when it was preserved with salt or other spices. For cowboys, indians, outfitters, trappers, and frontier people, Jerky made from beef, venison, or buffalo meat was an important food for long trips. Today, jerky is more of a treat than a necessity. Partially
because of the popularity of low-carbohydrate diets, "meat snacks," which includes beef jerky, has been the fastest-growing snack food category during the last decade, says the Snack Food Association in Alexandria, Virginia.

One such company makes several beef varieties, Farr West Outfitters represented by Ed Shriber of Pacific West Marketing, offers Original, Island Teriyaki, Ground Pepper, Honey Glazed and Jalapeno. They taste better than any I have ever had and all that I shared with agreed! They are packaged in an easy opening and a clear view of the contents. Upon opening, a press-to-close zipper is exposed to allow for easy resealing.

So if you are looking for that special gift for our soldiers or want to give a gift people look forward to receiving year after year, beef jerky is an instant hit. It always disappears before the other refreshments do. Corporate gift packages can be prepared with your own company's logo, and Farr West Outfitters line specially packaged with the name of your group or organization.
