Unleash Your Inner Jerk™ isn’t about being rude — it’s about breaking free.
It’s about letting your flavor fly.
Being unapologetically yourself.
Embracing your cravings, your quirks, and your hunger for something better.

At The Jerky Society, we believe jerky should fuel more than just your appetite — it should fuel your lifestyle. Whether you’re climbing mountains, crushing deadlines, perfecting your swing, or just snacking in your car, you deserve jerky that hits different.

We’re proud to be a family-owned and operated business, built on shared passions, late-night taste tests, and plenty of laughs around the kitchen table. What started as a hobby quickly grew into a mission to create jerky that brings people together — because good snacks are better when they’re shared.

That’s why we set out on a mission: to spark flavorful adventures and unite jerky lovers everywhere. Every bag we craft is made with bold, unique flavors, high-quality ingredients, and zero shortcuts. We’re committed to sustainable practices, community vibes, and elevating every snacking moment — one bite at a time.

Because you’re not just eating jerky.
You’re joining the Society.

MEAT THE TEAM!

“The Society isn’t run by suits. It’s run by jerks (the good kind).”

Ryan Lutton  Co-Founder Ryan is the driving force behind The Jerky Society. With over 25 years in telecommunications, he’s mastered the art of leading teams, building strategies, and keeping VIP accounts running smoother than a fresh bag of jerky. Now, he’s channeling that expertise into jerky — forging lasting relationships with retail partners, distributors, and Society members alike. Beyond the business side, Ryan is the flavor craftsman and outdoor enthusiast who ensures every bag of jerky lives up to the Society standard. If it’s not worthy of the Society seal, it doesn’t make the cut.
