Robeson County, North Carolina
Same brine Junior's daddy used, same hickory off the same fencerow, ten hours low and slow.

Smoked and dried beef, venison, and turkey cut thick and seasoned by hand. Sweet peppered strips, hot sticks, and old-fashioned salt-cured pieces all come from small smokehouses. Good road food with real chew.
Before the deep freeze, you dried what you killed. Thin strips over a low fire, hung in the smokehouse, and it kept you through the winter. These makers still cut it by hand and let the smoke do the work.

Off the shelf, down the road
There's more than what hangs in the JerkyBarn — pick a state and go treasure hunting through hand-checked makers down the road and a county or two over.

Made from deer taken off the family's own ridge, cracked pepper heavy enough to make your eyes water.

Sweet on the front, hot on the back, and gone before you get out of the driveway.
