Cedar Creek Beef Jerky is a small U.S.D.A inspected manufacturing facility. Our beef jerky takes longer to make than most competitors because ours is literally made one piece at a time. It is sliced from whole muscle beef and cooked in our homemade oven. We still package ours in a 4 oz bag while most of our competitors have gone to a smaller 3.5 oz bag. So if you are looking for a great tasting snack made by people, not machines, look no further.
