About Jack Link's
Jack Link's has been crafting beef jerky and meat snacks in Minong, Wisconsin since 1986, growing from a family butcher shop tradition into America's leading jerky brand while keeping production rooted in the Northwoods of Wisconsin.
Heritage & History
The Link family has been making meat snacks in Minong, Wisconsin since 1986, but the tradition of curing and smoking meat goes back generations. Jack Link founded the company on a simple premise: make a better beef jerky using quality cuts of beef and real hardwood smoke, the way his family had always done it.
From a small family operation in the Wisconsin Northwoods, Jack Link's grew into the largest meat snack company in the world while maintaining its headquarters and primary manufacturing in Minong — a town of fewer than 1,500 people in Sawyer County, Wisconsin. The flagship plant in Minong remains the heart of the operation, processing American beef into the jerky, steak strips, and meat snacks that have made the brand synonymous with American-made protein snacks.
Made in Wisconsin
Jack Link's uses 100% American beef for their flagship beef jerky products, sourced from US cattle and processed at their Wisconsin facilities. The brand's signature recipes use simple ingredients — beef, water, salt, and spices — with no artificial preservatives in their original line. Hardwood smoking at their Minong facility gives Jack Link's jerky its distinctive flavor that has built a loyal following among hikers, hunters, and working Americans who need high-protein portable food.
The Wisconsin Northwoods setting is not just a marketing backdrop — it's where the company culture was built, and where the Link family still runs operations today. While the brand has expanded to additional domestic facilities to meet demand, Minong remains home base for Jack Link's, and their commitment to American beef and American manufacturing remains unchanged.
