Your trust feeds our craft, and your satisfaction fuels our passion. Together, let’s preserve the joy of every bite. 

We created this for our families to enjoy, and we hope to be treated as a cherished member of your family. 

When a family need arose for a protein packed, low-sugar snack (especially for a Type 1 diabetic son) Ballou’s Hand-Crafted Jerky was born. After trying countless brands of jerky without finding the right taste or nutritional balance, the solution became clear: make it at home. 

Armed with a personal smoker and a passion for flavor, the family began experimenting, perfecting recipes, and crafting jerky that would soon become a favorite among friends, family, and devoted customers.

Each tender slice of Ballou’s Hand-Crafted Jerky is prepared with the finest cuts of meat, thoughtfully marinated with proprietary blends of spices, and slow smoked to mouthwatering perfection. This meticulous process ensures every piece delivers robust flavor and an enjoyable texture, while also providing a low-sugar, high-protein option that aligns with their original mission.

What truly sets Ballou’s apart is the personal commitment behind each batch. By combining genuine care, time-honored methods, and a dedication to quality ingredients, Ballou’s Hand-Crafted Jerky offers a savory, satisfying snack suitable for anyone — whether it’s a child with specific dietary needs or someone simply craving a wholesome treat. Take one bite and experience a jerky that honors its roots in family, innovation, and a love for the art of fine-tuned flavor.
