Meatco's beef jerky is famous amongst the Canadian military. I know of soldiers who had the jerky sent to them in Afghanistan. Mass produced jerky like Jack Link's etc... can't even compare to this stuff. The pieces are huge and smoky (you're in the wrong place if you're looking for maple glazed, jalapeno infused, teriyaki jerky, as these guys just sell man-jerky!). The packaging is as basic as it gets, but you're not paying for packaging are you...
I live in Ontario and still order my jerky from Meatco in bulk, as I can't find anything comparable here. Just ensure there's not a military exercise ongoing in Wainwright when you try to order your jerky - because the lads will eat the shop dry for a few week period.
Awesome local company with fans across the nation. read more
