About Pap's

While Jim’s original vision is steeped in the past, it’s never been more important for people to reconnect with nature and enjoy the great outdoors. More and more, people are starting to care about what they’re putting into their bodies and are concerned with where their food is sourced. As many people are turning to eating habits that are free of gluten, low in carbohydrates and naturally sourced, it turns out that beef jerky is a perfect snack for a healthy and active lifestyle.

We’re an American brand and we respect the American dream of making money while doing something you love. But we also believe in putting people over profits and that means doing the right thing. At Pap’s, not only do we go out of our way to provide the highest quality products, we are committed to doing things the right way and giving back to the community. We are dedicated to donating a portion of our sales to two programs near and dear to our hearts. Friends of Metro Animal Services Louisville and TKO Boxing are both awesome causes that we're proud to be associated with. When you treat yourself to a Pap’s product, you can feel good about what you’re putting into your body as well as how you’re changing the world, one bite at a time.

At our brand new, state-of-the-art facility in Louisville, Kentucky, the Pap’s Team hand packs big, thin slices of succulent, delicious beef jerky that will make you the hero of any outdoor gathering.

The process goes like this - we painstakingly select USDA beef, then it's marinated, seasoned and slow cooked for hours to deliver the unique and beloved flavor that is Pap's Jerky. We weren’t kidding when we said this jerky will make you a hero.

The beautiful union that is the Pap’s + Grippo’s partnership began in 2018.

It was a match made in delicious heaven. We worked on the perfect process to harness the sweet, smoky heat of Grippo's iconic Bar-B-Q Seasoning and marry it to our lip-smacking premium jerky. The result is undeniably unique!

Through this marriage, Grippo’s Jerky was born in 2018. Grippo’s Beef Sticks followed in 2019.
