About Us

Fridge Jerky started in 2021 with a mission to deliver quality, flavorful, incredibly moist jerky products to its customers. As an entrepreneurial venture, the owner of Fridge Jerky joined a business bootcamp cohort hosted by the Greater Green Bay Chamber, NEW North and YES Society to accelerate its growth.

The conclusion of the bootcamp was a celebration pitch night to community stakeholders.

While the owner was pitching, her house was burning. She and her son came home to her house smoldering from flames, smoke and soot. This was in May of 2022 and still, her family is experiencing the ripple effects of this tragedy.

Their animals perished, all their belongings were gone, her business equipment ruined.

With that being said, losing everything puts a lot into perspective of what matters. Fridge Jerky is determined to restart with new flavors, partnerships and so much more.

We ask for your patience as we slowly fulfill sample orders.
