About Us
Denny, aka Jim Dandy, spent many years in the snack food business in Minneapolis, peddling frozen pizzas and meat snacks to local convenience and grocery stores. Being an independent sort and harnessing the pioneer spirit inherited from his South Dakota ancestors, Denny decided he wanted to produce the tastiest, most authentic, tooth-wrenching beef jerky and provide it to hungry customers.
Today, 30 years later, we sell three delicious varieties of this American beef jerky from our Minneapolis facility.
The Process
Jim Dandy Beef Jerky starts with the finest cuts of American beef, which are then stripped out with the grain. The beef is then soaked in our brine recipe, hung on hooks vertically and smoked with real hickory wood. The results are delicious and authentic jerky.
