Jerky Junction - Sweet & Spicy

jerky junctionJerky Junction is a brand of Jerky Junction, Inc., based out of Carson City, NV. The brand has been around awhile, going back to about 18 years now. It's run by Andy Baird and his son Kyle, and Andy's brother Ian.

Baird had been in the restaurant industry and had wanted to start his own business in the food industry, and picked jerky. The train theme comes from his love of trains, which stemmed from his grandfather Walter Baird, who invented the first electric light for trains. Just a year ago, Jerky Junction opened up its first retail outlet in Truckee, CA, inside an old train caboose.

This particular package of Sweet & Spicy is from the brand's "Clear Bag" line, which is a slab-style jerky cut up into small pieces. It's manufactured by Country Archer in Grand Terrace, CA. Jerky Junction offers other lines and varieties of jerky.
