Golden Valley Natural Meat snacks offer an alternative to the confection and pastry-based protein bars and drink powders. Protein eaten in a natural solid form is much more appealing and satisfies the appetite longer than liquid protein shakes and drink proteins. Our natural meat snacks are many times more convenient, less sticky, and easier to eat than traditional jerky products and meat sticks. In addition to being high in protein and low in fat, many Golden Valley Natural meat snacks contain less sugar and salt than traditional meat snacks off the shelf. Our meat snacks are also devoid of traditional cured meat preservatives, such as nitrite and erythorbate.
About the Brand
Idaho-based Golden Valley Natural specializes in all-natural meat products made from animals that have never received artificial growth hormones or antibiotics, have always been fed a 100% vegetarian diet, do not include artificial ingredients, and are minimally processed. Their ranches were the first in the U.S. to have a non-hormone certified beef herd. Golden Valley Natural owns and operates its own USDA-inspected, state-of-the-art processing plant in Idaho Falls, and has been in the meat-processing business for more than 35 years.
In the words of Roger H. Ball, owner and president of Golden Valley Natural: "Golden Valley Natural Beef comes from cattle that are raised in the lush green pastures and mountains of Idaho. These cattle are accustomed to crisp, clean air and wide-open spaces as nature intended. Golden Valley Natural Beef guarantees that all animals are treated humanely and have never received artificial hormones or antibiotics. I believe in giving cattle a healthy, comfortable environment from birth. I have never used artificial hormones in my cattle, and I never will!"

I can't even count how many times I've ordered this jerky. It's declicious - moist and chewy. It's a great healthy snack for my kids, one of whom does not tolerate gluten. I could not find a single super-market brand that was free of both gluten and MSG. Some people tend to feel it's pricey, but these bags are 3oz and most of the "regular" jerkey bags in the stores are around 3.75 oz. In my stores, the bags are usually around $5, maybe $4 if you're lucky, and with Amazon's pricing on this it comes out to be about $5.50 a bag. So a little bit smaller and a little bit more pricey but I think it's WELL worth it for organic beef with no MSG, not to mention the perk of no gluten that is necesary for so many these days. If it's going to be a regular in your house like it is in mine, do the "suscribe and save" and pay only $4.70 per bag.
