Testimonials

On 11/24/2025 Jason Everett had this to say:
I've been getting Bud's beef jerky for years, and it's always been my favorite. I usually stop by their shop in Riverside, Iowa, and pick up several pounds for myself and for others. Recently, I received an order with a small issue. I reached out to them, and they responded immediately and sent replacement packages right away. Not only is their homemade beef jerky outstanding, but their customer service is exceptional as well.

I don’t come here but my hunter friend brings his deer here to be processed, and they always do such an expert job of processing and wrapping the meat.
