Our Story
We are a father-daughter operation that started out of pure love for our family recipe.
Over 30 years ago, my father Jamie Watt, a custom home builder, bought jerky at a gas station and decided after tasting it that he could make jerky…and make it better! So he started working with different ingredients and gave his new product to friends, and sometimes sold it to the local bars in Crested Butte, CO. When tourists came to visit, they loved his jerky and asked how they could get it in their towns too. So I decided to leave my job in California, move back to Crested Butte and start Jamie’s Jerky! Our mission is simple…create a healthy snack using sustainable practices. We only use the best ingredients, grass fed beef and all natural turkey in our award winning products.
Oh yeah, and Beware.……you will become addicted!

Reviews
“Jamie’s Jerky strikes an excellent balance between meat consistency, chewing texture, and taste.”
“This turkey jerky from Jamie’s Jerky does a great job of packing a lot of different flavors into each bite. It offers a light natural turkey meat flavor, but also manages to taste fresh and natural, much like the packaging claims.”
