Our passion for crafting flavorful treats has led us to create a variety of jerky that stands out among the competition. Joe’s Jerky is the creation of Jodie Patla and her father, Joe Robinson, a Vietnam Veteran with over 50 years experience as a meat cutter. After the passing of Joe's wife, Jodie got him into making jerky for the American Legion and VFW as a way to stay active. Joe had a knack for creating some of the best jerky and meat snacks and everyone was constantly asking for more. In 2011, they decided to legalize their bootleg jerky and go into business fulltime and Joe's Jerky was born. They opened their first shop in small 900 sq ft store front and quickly realized they needed more space so a year later they purchased a 4000 sq ft building which became home to their manufacturing facility as well as a corner market which grew to include a butcher shop, deli and a pizza shop. By 2022 they realized that they couldn't make enough jerky in their current location and Joe was getting older wanted to slow down from his 7 day work week so they set out to find a co-packer. It took over two years to find the right co-packer to assist in making the Jerky to Joe's standards. So in 2024 they decided to sell their current building and retail business and with the help of their co-packer, to produce the jerky, they now will have the time to focus on the sales and distribution of Joe's Jerky full time.
