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.
The flavor will make you say "Oh Yeah!"

In case you were wondering...
Yogi's Oh Yeah Jerky strives to use high quality ingredients and pass along every possible savings to our customers. Each of our products is made with locally-sourced proteins that are hand cut, not ground and pressed. Being a small batch premium jerky company, cost is surely a challenge, but when comparing our prices to brands listed on JerkyGent.com as the top 10 most popular jerky brands of 2025, Yogi's jerky is competitively priced as illustrated in the adjoining 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.
