Palisade Peach and Spicy Creole were pleasant surprises?adventurous flavor blends not usually seen in jerky. Texture excellent, seasoning balanced. It?s clear they?re experimenting thoughtfully.

Tastes Homemade
Loved that it tasted handcrafted, not like mass?produced jerky. Jerky texture was uniform and not overly dry. Gave a gift box to my brother and he asked ?Where did you get this?? Ordered more immediately.

Too Sweet for Savory Snack
The maple bourbon flavor was basically candy?unexpected for a savory energy boost snack. I felt sugar overwhelmed the beef, and chewing through sticky bits wasn?t pleasant. Packaging claimed healthy, but sugar content kicked up my blood sugar mid?hike, which was disappointing.

Delightful Office Snack
Ordered a mixed?flavor gift box for my team. Enthusiastic reception: everyone commented on the smoky depth, and several asked where I bought it. Favorite flavors were Spicy Creole and Palisade Peach. Packaging was neat, product info clear, and delivery arrived intact. A fun small?biz treat that didn?t feel gimmicky.

Fuel for Real Adventures
On a recent backpacking trip across Colorado, the jerky was my consistent energy source. Beef stayed fresh even after days in a dry bag. The cracked black pepper maintained its spice, and the applewood smoked offered that classic campfire nostalgia. Each bite was tender and flavorful. Loved the clear ingredient list?no nitrites, no gluten, no weird fillers?just handcrafted jerky from a women?owned, local business. The carbon?neutral shipping and eco?friendly packaging aligned with my outdoor ethics. That level of detail shows someone cares. Will absolutely reorder before my next big hike.

Bulk Pack Didn?t Meet Expectations
Bought a bulk bundle to share at a party. Half the strips were dry and crumbled. Only a few pieces were actually moist and flavorful. Guests were polite, but I got side glances.

Not as Described
Claimed to be handcrafted, yet jerky strips were uniform and machine?like. Flavor lacked depth. Packaging hype about local Colorado goods didn?t translate to taste. Company focuses on story over product.

Reliable Snack Partner
Prepped several bags for mountain biking weekends. Jerky held up in bags, maintained flavor swing after swing. Nutrition labels helped with tracking macros. The business story?handcrafted, women-owned, eco-friendly?makes the product even more satisfying.

Price Doesn?t Match Quality
Paid premium prices expecting artisanal perfection. While ingredient labels read well, the actual seasoning lacked punch and bags felt light. Texture was inconsistent?some strips were tough, others crumbly. Tried contacting support but got a generic response. Might order again on sale but otherwise lookout for better options.

Too Chewy
Jerky almost tore my jaw after a few bites. Often that's fine with cured meat, but this was excessive. Seasoning was decent but grit from over-cooking ruined most of the experience.

Artisan Jerky with Integrity
Ingredient transparency impressed me?only real beef and simple seasonings. Jerky texture was tender, not too chewy. Smoked flavors were natural, not artificial. The business ethos?women?owned, carbon?neutral, local sourcing?is a rare and welcome combination in food brands. This is artisan jerky done right.

Excellent Customer Engagement
After placing an order I got a personalized thank?you email referencing my hiking plans. When one bag had a torn seal, they offered a replacement immediately. Jerky quality across flavors was consistent?Moab Heat had a smoky?spicy balance, Roasted Garlic hit the savory notes. You can tell small?batch care went into production. This is a brand that listens and delivers both product and experience.

Shipping Delay Ruined It
By the time my order arrived two weeks late, several packs seemed stale?some jerky strips were leathery. I appreciate carbon-neutral shipping, but freshness matters more. Customer service apologized but offered no refund or replacement, which felt dismissive. Good ingredients list, but execution on logistics and quality control was poor.

Health?minded ingredients and supporting a small women?owned Colorado business makes me feel good. Would order again before summer adventures.

Flavor Was Overly Smoky
Sampled several flavors hoping for variety, but pretty much all had a heavy, one?dimensional smoke note that overwhelmed other spices. The texture leans toward overly chewy, almost like leather. Ordered during a sale, so price wasn?t shocking?but the taste left me wishing I?d spent that money elsewhere. Packaging was eco?friendly, which was a nice touch, but it didn?t make up for the underwhelming flavor profile.

Healthy and Tasty Combo
Picked up jerky and Colorado popcorn at their Gunnison store during a trip. Both tasted fresh and felt premium. The jerky was exactly what I look for?no fillers, good protein punch, enjoyable chew. Loved the local products setup in their shop. Felt like a genuine Colorado find.

Flavor Hit with Minor Batch Variance
The Maple Bourbon and Teriyaki were highlights?sweet?savory with good tenderness. A small note: one bag was slightly tougher, maybe from a batch difference. Customer service offered a 10% off code for next purchase, which was appreciated. Overall a high?quality craft jerky experience and supporting a family?run business is a bonus.
