A childhood habit that left the kitchen

Founded in 2023, By Three Bears builds on a tradition of handcrafting jerky that started in childhood. The goal was never a bigger grocery shelf. It was delicious food with some adventure still in it.

Jerky bags on river rock

Jon, Cheryll, and the trays

The name came from Jon and his wife Cheryll, after friends, family, and coworkers kept clearing the jerky at luncheons and backyard cooks. Whether the plan is a quick getaway or a longer road, the bags go in the pack.

The beef is Angus brisket — solid steak strips, not chopped mash — cold-smoked for a western flavor. The bacon is uncured, with no nitrates or nitrites added. Both are gluten free, with no added MSG.

By Three Bears, LLC packs and ships from Daly City, California. The bags are USDA inspected. If a flavor you want is marked sold out, write — small batches come and go.
