Why Exotic Meats

We source our exotic meats worldwide, bringing you only the finest, quality-raised, best tasting products available. Most exotics are lean, red meat and full of heart healthy goodness. All are hand cut, smoked in small batches without MSG, nitrates or fillers.

Kangaroo

If you are looking for a healthy meat snack, look to Kangaroo jerky. Kangaroo is a lean yet flavorfully rich meat. All that jumping must keep these animals fit – they are one of the leanest animals around, weighing in at about 2% body fat, leaner than chicken. Kangaroo is high in the essential minerals iron and zinc, and is a good source of B vitamins. Shop our Kangaroo Jerky.

Wild Boar

Wild Boar often gets a bad rap for being described as ‘pig or pork’; however, it is in a category of its own. Our Wild Boar is raised on the open range and eats grasses, roots, and other vegetation, giving this meat a sweet and nutty flavor. Wild Boar has one-third less fat, calories, and cholesterol compared to pork, making the taste and a nutritional value stand-out. The Chinese consider Wild Boar an aphrodisiac so…need I say more? Shop our Wild Boar Jerky.

Yak

Get your snacking on track with Yak. Similar to Kangaroo, Yak is considered an ultra-lean red meat. The flavor can be compared to that of beef, but Yak contains more protein, vitamins, and minerals. Our grass-fed and free range Yaks are not treated with growth hormones, antibiotics, or any other chemical. Originally hailing from the Himalayas, the health and longevity of the locals can be attributed to their consumption of Yak meat. Shop our Tibetan Yak Jerky.

Alligator

Alligator is yet another healthy option, it’s a lean meat full of protein. Our Alligator jerky is make out of 100% tenderloin, giving you only the best Alligator cut available. Alligator is considered a white meat that some folks compare to chicken or pork. Shop our Alligator products, Alligator Jerky and Louisiana Style Cajun.
