Heritage & History
Old Trapper was founded in Forest Grove, Oregon, drawing its name and identity from the Pacific Northwest trapper tradition of preserving meat for long trails and wilderness expeditions. The company built its business around one conviction: that great beef jerky requires real hardwood smoke, quality American beef, and time — not shortcuts or artificial smoke flavoring.
For decades, Old Trapper has operated as a family-owned Oregon company, competing in the jerky market against large national brands by emphasizing quality over cost-cutting. The smokehouse process uses real hardwood — not liquid smoke flavoring — to impart the deep, layered flavor that distinguishes old-fashioned jerky from mass-produced alternatives. Amazon listings confirm USA manufacturing and sourcing.
Made in Forest Grove, Oregon
Old Trapper processes and smokes all jerky at their Forest Grove, Oregon facility. American beef is the protein source across the product line. The hardwood smoking process provides authentic smoke penetration rather than surface-level flavoring, producing jerky with the genuine smoked character that has made the brand a regional Pacific Northwest staple and a growing national presence.
The product lineup includes Original Old Fashioned Beef Jerky, Peppered, Teriyaki, and Hot & Spicy varieties. Amazon listings cover individual bags and multi-pack options. The jerky is made without artificial preservatives, relying on the natural preservation of smoke, salt, and reduced water activity — the same approach traditional jerky makers have used for generations. For consumers who want beef jerky made by a family-owned American company using real hardwood smoke and domestic beef, Old Trapper represents an authentic alternative to industrial-scale jerky production.
