OUR STORY

---

At CK Meats, we believe great beef jerky starts with great ingredients — and we believe in keeping those ingredients close to home.

Everything we can source locally, we source locally.

CK Meats began with a simple passion for creating beef jerky that was bold in flavor, tender to chew, and made with quality ingredients.

While attending a local event, Charles was approached by Mr. Hartley of Hartley Ranch.

Mr. Hartley wanted to see if his beef could be used to make CK Meats' jerky.

That conversation became the beginning of an important relationship — and today, CK Meats uses beef from Hartley Ranch.

Our beef comes from Hartley Ranch, helping us keep our supply chain close to home.

Hartley Ranch is committed to raising quality beef without the use of antibiotics or unnecessary chemicals.*

For CK Meats, that's important. We want to know where our beef comes from and take pride in knowing the people behind the product.

Our commitment to Texas doesn't stop with the beef.

CK Meats also sources ingredients from Texas businesses whenever possible.

🥩 Beef — Hartley Ranch- Hico, Texas

🥭 Mangos — Houston, Texas

🌶️ Seasonings — Southern Spice Company - Manor, Texas

We believe supporting other Texas businesses makes our own business stronger — and it helps us create a product that truly represents where we're from.

CK Meats isn't trying to make the longest-lasting bag of jerky on the shelf.

We're focused on making great-tasting jerky with quality ingredients and a tender bite.

Because we don't rely on the same approach used by many conventional commercial jerky products, our jerky may have a shorter shelf life than standard commercially produced beef jerky.

That's a tradeoff we're comfortable making for the product we want to put in your hands.

Always follow the storage instructions on the package.
