135 years in the smoke
Over the past 135 years, our Cajun products have gained global recognition, and for tens of thousands of folks around the world, the Bourgeois name is a symbol of home.
1891
Valery Jean Baptiste Bourgeois starts delivering fresh meat by horse and carriage through the bayou communities of South Louisiana.
1980s
Donald Bourgeois invents the jerky almost by accident, experimenting with recipes for friends and regulars at the counter. Word gets out. It never slows down.
2008
The family opens a dedicated USDA facility so the jerky and Beef Styx can ship legally to every state. The line at the counter goes national.
Today
The 4th generation butchers smoke thousands of pounds of jerky a week over real hardwood, the same way, at the same nine-foot maple block.

Don't take our word for it
Before you order
Does it need to be refrigerated?
Sealed vacuum packs keep for 6 weeks with no fridge at all. Once you open a pack, put what's left in a ziploc bag in the fridge and it's good for 5 to 7 days. That's what real meat with no preservatives does, and it's why we sell in 1/4 lb. packs: open one at a time, the rest of your stash stays sealed.
How fast does it ship?
We ship Monday through Friday from our smokehouse in Thibodaux, Louisiana. Because the jerky is vacuum sealed and shelf stable, it doesn't have to wait for the frozen shipping schedule the way our fresh and frozen items do.
Your UPS rate and delivery estimate are calculated for your address at checkout.
What makes it different from other jerky?
It's cut from premium whole cuts and smoked all day over natural hardwoods. No preservatives, no added sugar, nothing artificial. Most bags on a shelf can't claim one of those, let alone all three.
Can I send it as a gift?
Yes. Add a gift note at checkout and we'll include it with the order. It arrives sealed and ready to hand over.
