Our Process
Most meat snacks are churned out by big co-packers using imported beef. Not us. We’re a rancher-owned microprocessor. From raising the cattle to slaughter, processing, and crafting – it’s all done right here by our team. South Dakota’s finest.
Biltong
Jerky is made from lean cuts, dehydrated until dry, then often soaked in preservatives and sugar. Our biltong? It’s made from marbled cuts, cured and air-dried-for a rich, tender, and flavorful bite.
Beef Sticks
Most brands make sticks out of trim and scraps from butchering. We use the whole cow! This includes NY Strip, Ribeye, Porterhouse.. every steak cut! After one taste, you will not go back to conventional sticks.
our story
Where it all started
Mark
founder of farmer bill’s provisions
I started Farmer Bill's (named after my Grandfather) because the meat snacks in the industry were lacking. Jerky and beef sticks had a laundry list of ingredients you can't pronounce, and there's a lack of transparency regarding where the beef is sourced.
Modern food and farming is broken. Our nation has failed to steward the land, our animals, and our health. Depleted soil, mistreated animals, and obesity have become "normal" in our modern life. The good news is we can change that. By recovering the traditions of regenerative farming and land management, we can produce food that is not only healthier for you, but that restores the soil and natural ecology.
Regenerative farming, in short, is farming and ranching in harmony with nature. Every time you purchase a product from us, you fuel the movement and are a part of the solution. Healthy soil, happy animals, good food.
FAQs
Got questions? We’ve got answers...
How does it taste compared to jerky?
Biltong is more tender, juicier, and naturally flavorful than jerky. While jerky is often cooked and loaded with sugar, biltong is air dried and seasoned with real spices, giving it a more natural, steak-like bite.
Is it keto, paleo, or carnivore friendly?
Yes. Our biltong is made with 100% pasture raised beef and real spices. No sugar, no fillers, no junk. That makes it a perfect fit for keto, paleo, and carnivore diets.
How long will it stay fresh after opening?
Once opened, your biltong will stay fresh for 5 to 7 days at room temperature. Just keep it sealed in the original pouch. Want it to last longer? Store it in the fridge and enjoy for up to 2 weeks.
Do I need to refrigerate it?
Not right away. Our biltong is shelf stable before opening. After opening, we recommend refrigeration if you're not eating it within a few days. It keeps the flavor and texture at its best.
Is it spicy? What flavors are mild vs. bold?
We’ve got something for every tastebud:
Original Beef – Mild and classic.
Garlic & Herb – Savory with zero heat.
Spicy Chili – Medium heat, bold flavor.
Smokehouse – Smoky and slightly peppery.
What makes your biltong better than regular jerky?
Jerky is often pumped with sugar and preservatives, then cooked until dry. Our biltong is air dried for days using only vinegar, salt, and real spices. You get better taste, better texture, and better ingredients.
