Boy am I glad I did. Never thought I would find a jerky in a store that tasted like and had the texture of my mom's long lost jerky recipe. Fell in love with it and I just ordered the 50 piece bag off their website.

I grew up in the Feather River Canyon in the late 70's early 80's, getting to meet Riley at The Hitching Post and then later getting to buy a piece of his jerky at the Twain store as a treat. I've been sampling jerkies ever-since and none have been quite like Riley's. In fact, I'd just tried a jerky from a local smokehouse in Fort Bragg, CA (Round Man's Smokehouse) and the fondness of trying a local jerky reminded me of Riley's when I was a kid, so as soon as I got home I had to see if I could find it on the web. Now that I know it's still being made, I'll be making a stop by Greenville this summer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9134710340137592050.post-19126238069081118412010-03-26T12:11:35.674-07:002010-03-26T12:11:35.674-07:00i have found only one liquor store here in hollist...i have found only one liquor store here in hollister that i can buy this. i get a bag a couple times a week. it is hands down the BEST jerkey i have EVER eaten. i agree it's easier to eat if you break it first. i just finished a bag right this minute, still enjoying it!!! thank you thank you thank you!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9134710340137592050.post-18693632718993434592010-03-24T21:19:47.133-07:002010-03-24T21:19:47.133-07:00This is Riley's Jerky here!

Sick of turkey leftovers, I snuck into a gas station convenience store while filling up the car and immediately began looking for jerky. The woman at the counter asked me if I preferred hard or soft jerky, and when I said hard, she recommended Riley's. I bought the Cajun variety and the Peppered variety. Both were fantastic, though I would warn anyone with fillings to stay away Anyway, definitely one of the best jerkys I've ever had, and if I see it again, I'll buy more, and in a larger quantity. Anyone know other locations where it is sold in California? P.S. This may be a "man's man beef jerky" as several of you have said, but a true meat and jerky-loving lady like myself must disagree--this is also a woman's beef jerky!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00879631155271025048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9134710340137592050.post-74299687884401365722009-11-13T21:09:31.422-08:002009-11-13T21:09:31.422-08:00I live in Redding, CA.

I would like to know if there beef is organic. As I don't want to consume all those hormones and other chemicals that commercial meat packers use in their product, and I can't find anywhere if they have peppered Turkey jerky.

Riley's Jerky is the best ever!! It is a tough jerky, but "Hello?!" It's called "Jerky"!! <BR/><BR/>Riley sadly passed away in the fall of '99, so his sons and son-in-law run the business now! It's a family run business, which makes it even better!! It is still made the same way he used to back when it was a hobby of his Before he was selling it!! <BR/><BR/>Everytime I go to Greenville to visit my hometown I stop at "the jerky joint" and hang out!

I travelled all over the US... searching for decent jerky, REAL beef jerky....no that sugary, over-processed, crap they call jerky and they sell in every gas station.(Oberto, Jack Link, etc) Those should be sold in the candy section, not the jerky section. The less sugar the better. Riley's jerky has BEST flavor his best in my opinion is the PEPPERED. (Black Bag). I have driven over 4 hours (round trip) to pick up over $50 worth of this 'brown gold' before.
