The Beginning
Where It All Started.
Our roots trace back to the 1880s, when Jack Link’s great-grandfather (yep, Jack is a real person alright), carved out a life in the rugged Northwoods of Wisconsin. He didn’t bring much, but he did bring something legendary: his family’s sausage recipes. Those bold, honest flavors quickly became the talk of pioneer families and laid the foundation for a legacy built on hard work, ingenuity, and a commitment to doing things right.
Crafting a New Era
Turning Tradition Into Something Bold.
Nearly a century later, Jack took those time-honored recipes and set out to create something new. With his son Troy at his side, they crafted jerky so good that neighbors couldn’t get enough.
Word spread fast, and the Link family’s dedication to quality, authenticity, and flavor became the backbone of a brand that refuses to settle.
