The SlantShack journey started in 2009 when Josh Kace, lifelong jerky fanatic and recent college graduate, decided he deserved a better jerky experience than his corner grocer could provide. He would settle for nothing less than the tastiest and healthiest jerky imaginable.

A commercial dehydrator, a website, a whole lot of beef jerky later, SlantShack debuted to sell-out appearances at the Greenpoint Food Market, then Smorgasburg, and garnered write-ups in Maxim, New York Magazine, The Atlantic and Thrillist.
Today, SlantShack is recognized as a Certified B Corporation for our commitment to quality and good business practices because we continue to uphold our original standards to do food right--only partnering with family farms who are committed providing 100% grass-fed, free-range, humanely and sustainably raised beef without the use of hormones or anti-biotics. And, though we’re no longer producing jerky one tray at a time, we’re still turning out the tastiest and healthiest jerky imaginable with the same care and craft as we did in Josh’s slanted shack.
