Small-Batch Jerky Made in South Dakota
Hi, it's Nikki at Bad River Jerky—and every product you see here is made with care, pride, and the best Midwest beef we can get our hands on.
We craft each batch in small quantities to make sure the flavor, texture, and quality are exactly right. No mass production—just real jerky, made the way it should be.
We’ve been lucky enough to be featured in 605 Magazine and the Mitchell Daily Republic, and recognized as Chamberlain Chamber of Commerce Best in Trade in 2023—but what matters most is earning your trust with every order.
