About us
Yogi’s Oh Yeah! Jerky LLC makes high-quality jerky for active folks looking for a nutritious and flavorful snack for an on-the-go lifestyle. Our jerky is made from locally sourced proteins from small businesses in York County.

Our reason for being...
Chris "YOGI" Awkward
Owner
Yogi is a self-taught cook with experience in the culinary field to include employment at multiple restaurants as well as running his own catering business. He has always had a passion for creating delicious meals that satisfy even the most critical and finicky palates. Yogi started dabbling in the jerky arena to satisfy his own personal desire for a delicious product that is not only more flavorful, but easier to chew. Most jerky brands have a tougher texture that is harder to enjoy one bite at a time. This popular need has motivated him to test multiple recipes and processes that have ultimately culminated in his own take on the popular snack that perfectly combines robust flavors with a texture that won’t leave you with a sore, worn out jaw.

Jerky Care Label
In case you were wondering...
In our company, we strive to use high quality ingredients and pass along low costs to our customers. Each of our products is made with locally-sourced proteins that are hand cut, not pressed and processed. Being a small company getting its start, there are some limitations. Variety of sizes being offered is one of them due to packaging expense. However, our customers would like to have the option to buy a smaller size than our original 1/2-pound packaging. In response, we've recently added the 1/8 pound pouch so that our customers have the option to purchase what fits in their budget. Yogi's jerky is competitively priced with the top 10 most popular jerky brands of 2023 as outlined in this price comparison chart.
Fun Jerky Facts
~Jerky is a snack loved by ASTRONAUTS. 1996 marked the first sighting of beef jerky in space as it provides a concentrated source of protein and is easily transported.
~JUNE 12th is national jerky day
~Why is jerky so EXPENSIVE? Because there is only a 50% yield from the raw purchased protein. Beef is approximately 60% water and the dehydrating process shrinks it in size and weight. It takes 2.5 pounds of beef to yield 1 pound of jerky. It ramps up the cost and investments, but the result is pure, concentrated beef flavor in a single bite.
~Jerky pairs well with WINE. Our RK Spice options go well with a sweet Riesling to help cool the heat and a Cabernet Sauvignon would pair nicely with all of our beef jerky flavors.
~Beef jerky offers NUTRITIONAL VALUES
of Vitamins B-6 and B-12, Iron, and Potassium.
It's not just a snack...
Jerky is super versatile as a culinary ingredient and can be used in every day recipes to help kick the flavor up a notch. Here are a few ideas:
~Deviled egg topper
~Add to fried rice
~Add to kimchi during preparation
~Soups/Ramen noodles
~Charcuterie board addition
~Use to thicken sauces
~Jerky stuffing
~Add to roasted brussels sprouts
~Add to your breakfast omelet or savory oatmeal
~Add to your pasta prep process
~Sweet & savory protein bar
~Use as a sushi filling
~Use as a dumpling filling
~Bloody Mary topping
~Crumble over a salad

Customer Reviews
Oh my yum! Just went to this market by my house off the NCR Trail and I have to give Yogi's Oh Yeah Jerky LLC a shout out! I personally cannot stand jerky, but I may have been convinced today by this Veteran & Black owned Pennsylvania jerky business. Like, the meat melted in my mouth and was not leathery like most. Ok, go check them out!
The only brand of jerky I'll ever eat is Yogi's Oh Yeah Jerky LLC!! All the other ones you see in stores can't even come close! If you're looking for ACTUAL real flavorful jerky (beef, pork, salmon, turkey, and bacon) be sure to check out Yogi's Oh Yeah Jerky! The best around! You can catch them at Penn Market or order yours online at https://yogisohyeahjerky.com/.
Let them know that BEAST MODE sent you 😎💪🏾

#RandomThought.....if you haven't tried the Salmon Jerky from Yogi's Oh Yeah Jerky LLC then you owe yourself a trip to the Penn St Market asap
best jerky around! the quality is amazing..flavor and texture is on point! highly recommend to grab anything from this local company!
Best jerky you can buy. The quality of the meats is 200x better then store bought jerky.
That jerky was the best :-) I loved it!
The RK Spice is my favorite. Sweet with a lil heat!!
I have sampled many varieties. My favorites are the salmon, bacon and the MOJO. I highly recommend. Once you try theirs there is no going back to store bought. The prices are very reasonable.
MOJO was sooooo good! Hands down some of the best jerky I’ve ever had. Full of flavor!
