Big Fork Brands was founded in 2011 by husband-and-wife team Lance and Ann Avery in Chicago, Illinois. Chef Lance combined his Iowa upbringing with his Chicago culinary experience to develop bacon sausage and later expand into pork snacks and Chicago-inspired sauces. The family-owned business puts flavor first and emphasizes distinctive recipes and relationships with small family farms. Its pork sourcing centers on heritage hogs raised outdoors in Iowa, reflecting the founders’ interest in how their food is raised as well as how it tastes.
Choose a favorite pork jerky flavor and receive a case of eight 2.25 oz resealable bags. The case contains 18 oz total and is available in Original, Maple, or Spicy 3-Pepper.
All eight bags match the selected flavor. Original offers a straightforward smoked pork profile, Maple adds sweetness, and Spicy 3-Pepper brings chili seasoning. If you prefer an equal mixed selection, the twenty-four-bag variety collection is a separate product.
This bacon-inspired jerky is made in the United States in small batches. The supplier describes using heritage pork from hogs raised outdoors in Iowa, slicing the meat and smoking it over hardwoods. The finished format is thin pieces of pork jerky in resealable bags, distinct from the brand’s cylindrical snack sticks.
An eight-bag case is a practical step up when you have already sampled the range and know which recipe you enjoy. Leave unused bags sealed and take one at a time for travel, work, or a snack board. A resealable bag keeps the remaining pieces together after opening, while the label’s refrigeration instructions still apply.
Original: Pork, water, cane sugar, sea salt, natural flavors, vinegar, and celery juice powder.
Maple: Pork, water, cane sugar, maple syrup, sea salt, natural flavors, vinegar, and celery juice powder.
Spicy 3-Pepper: Pork, water, cane sugar, maple syrup, sea salt, natural flavors, spices, vinegar, and celery juice powder.
The flavor-specific package panels are used here because the supplier’s shared short ingredient summary does not capture every flavor difference. Maple syrup appears in Maple and in the displayed Spicy 3-Pepper panel. Always check the bag supplied with your order for the current formula; no facility-wide allergen-free guarantee was established.
The displayed nutrition panels identify one 2.25 oz bag as one serving, with 100 calories and 11 g protein. Original and Spicy 3-Pepper show 4 g total sugar; Maple shows 6 g. This listing does not describe the jerky as sugar-free or make a certified keto or paleo claim.
Made in USA is printed on the package fronts and stated on the matched supplier listing. Iowa identifies the hog source; a manufacturing state is not independently established.
Unopened bags are shelf-stable; follow the printed best-by date. After opening, the bag instructs refrigeration or consumption within three days. Keep any opened bag refrigerated and follow the package directions.
Big Fork schedules jerky and snack stick shipments every other day. These products are described as shelf-stable while unopened, rather than part of the frozen sausage shipping program. Holidays, weather, or other conditions may delay dispatch. Tracking is supplied for shipped orders. Check destination eligibility, the delivery service, and the actual shipping charge at checkout. No fixed transit time or supplier-site free-shipping promotion is promised for a BuyAmerican order.
For a BuyAmerican order, contact hello@buyamerican.mom promptly about damage, an incorrect item, or another problem and obtain instructions before sending goods. BuyAmerican’s refund policy excludes perishable food returns. Big Fork separately publishes a 30-day-from-purchase satisfaction/refund policy subject to unused condition, original packaging, proof of purchase, and photographs; it does not offer food exchanges, and perishable sausage cannot be physically returned. Supplier terms are provided as fulfillment background, not as a replacement for BuyAmerican’s order policy. Approval is required before any refund or authorized return, and neither a refund nor free return postage is automatic.
Read the BuyAmerican refund and returns policy for the order process. A supplier’s published terms do not authorize an unsolicited return shipment.
