At Chomps, we offer three different protein options when it comes to our meat sticks, including beef, venison, and turkey.
Our Salt & Pepper Venison stick is a blend of 100% grass-fed and finished beef and, 100% grass-fed venison. While most store-bought venison jerky recipes contain brown sugar, soy sauce or added sugar, we show how to make venison jerky the right way. Chomps Salt & Pepper Venison has no sugar added. Every stick is certified gluten-free, paleo, and Whole30 approved, too.
As most consumers are often familiar with beef jerky, venison jerky is a great alternative for a wild game protein snack without that gamey taste or texture. Our venison jerky sticks are a great option to throw into your shopping cart for those times you need a quick, convenient snack with 10g of protein.
Venison Jerky at Chomps
Our Salt & Pepper Venison Jerky recipe is composed of a blend of sea salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, coriander, and garlic. Since the stick is a blend of both 100% grass-fed venison and grass-fed beef, if you’re a fan of our Original Beef Chomps, you will most likely love our venison jerky.
Where does our Turkey Jerky come from?
We pride ourselves on being transparent with our sourcing when it comes to the ingredients in our Salt & Pepper Venison sticks. Chomps venison is Duncan Venison that is farmed in New Zealand. The Duncan family is New Zealand’s leading specialized venison processor and has a long history and reputation for their quality and integrity.
Duncan Venison’s clean air and consistent water supply enable growth of rich, green pastures all year round. Deer are able to graze freely on these lush pastures, with access to nutritional feed crops such as brassicas and beets during the winter months. The abundance of feed and grazing territory means Duncan Venison's deer enjoy a life free from stress and confinement, promoting sustainable farming and better animal welfare. The result is delicious, tender deer jerky of the finest quality, with rich flavors and a delicate texture. Free-range venison offers outstanding nutritional value with more protein and less fat than other red meats, along with an abundance of healthy vitamins and minerals.
Never sent to feedlots, never given antibiotics or hormones and harvested in the most humane way possible, Chomps venison is:
- 100% Grass-Fed AND Finished
- Whole30 Approved
- Keto Certified
- Certified Gluten-Free
- Paleo Friendly
- Non-GMO Project Verified
