Whether you're looking for a high-protein snack, something to fuel your outdoor adventures, or just a savory treat to keep in your pantry—beef jerky is one of the best options out there. And when it’s made fresh in-house like we do at Lakewood Meats & Sausage, the quality and flavor are unmatched.

In this article, we’ll break down the top health benefits of beef jerky, why our house-made jerky stands out, and how you can order it online and enjoy it anywhere in the U.S.

 Small batch, slow-dried, and bursting with flavor—our beef jerky is made in-house with care.

What Makes Our Jerky Different?

At Lakewood Meats, we craft our beef jerky in-house using premium cuts of beef and our time-tested methods. It’s marinated, seasoned, and slowly dried to perfection, giving it a chewy yet tender bite with unbeatable flavor.

Available Flavors:

• Teriyaki – Sweet, savory, and perfectly balanced
  
• Salt & Pepper – Classic, bold, and satisfying
  

✅ No artificial fillers
✅ No preservatives
✅ Small batch quality
✅ Packed fresh weekly

 1. High in Protein – Fuel Your Day Naturally

Beef jerky is a powerhouse of protein, providing 9–15 grams per serving, depending on the cut and recipe. That makes it an ideal choice for:

• Post-workout recovery
  
• Busy professionals on the go
  
• Hikers, campers, and outdoor lovers
  
• Anyone looking to stay full between meals
  

Protein helps repair muscle tissue, promotes satiety, and supports overall energy and strength—without the sugar crash that comes from other snacks.

 

 2. Low in Carbs – Keto & Paleo Friendly

Our jerky is naturally low in carbohydrates, especially the Salt & Pepper flavor, which contains no added sugars. That makes it a perfect fit for:

• Low-carb diets
  
• Keto lifestyle
  
• Diabetic-friendly snacking
  

Looking for a guilt-free snack? Our jerky keeps it clean and lean.

 

3. Portable & Shelf-Stable – The Perfect On-the-Go Snack

One of the biggest benefits of beef jerky is its portability. Toss a pack in your:

• Gym bag
  
• Hiking backpack
  
• Lunchbox
  

Because our jerky is properly cured and sealed for freshness, you can count on it to stay fresh refrigerated after opening. 

4. Made Fresh In-House – Taste the Lakewood Difference

Unlike store-bought brands that are loaded with preservatives and mass-produced, we make all of our jerky in-house right here at Lakewood Meats in Lodi, CA. That means:

• Better quality beef
  
• Fewer ingredients, more flavor
  
• Small batches for consistent texture
  
• Better control of salt and sugar levels
  

We slow-dry our jerky the traditional way—because good things take time.
