There’s something about fall in the South that just hits different. The cooler mornings, the scent of leaves and bonfires in the air, and the undeniable urge to slow down and enjoy the little things. Whether you’re heading out for a fall hike, tailgating before the big game, or just kicking back on the porch with a rocking chair and a flannel, you’re gonna want a snack in hand—and jerky is the answer.
At Hillbilly’s Jerky, we know a thing or two about quality meat snacks. And this time of year? It’s peak jerky season.
Why Jerky Is the Ultimate Fall Snack
When the weather turns crisp, appetites shift too. You start craving heartier, savory snacks—something with flavor, texture, and staying power. Jerky checks all the boxes.
-
It’s portable. Whether you’re leaf-peeping in the mountains or just running fall errands, jerky fits in your glove box, backpack, or hoodie pocket.
-
It’s satisfying. Packed with protein and full of flavor, jerky curbs hunger and keeps you energized through long autumn days.
-
It’s mess-free. No crumbs, no sticky fingers. Just grab a strip and enjoy—perfect for hayrides, football games, or hanging out around the firepit.
Tailgate Like a Pro
October weekends mean one thing for a lot of folks: football. Whether you’re at the stadium or watching from home, snacks are a big part of the experience.
Swap out the usual chips and dip for something more exciting. Our jerky varieties bring bold flavor to your tailgate table. Hickory Smoked and Hot & Spicy are fan favorites, but if you’re feeling adventurous, grab some of our Moonshine Jerky—yes, you read that right.
Bonus tip: cube your jerky and mix it with sharp cheddar, nuts, and dried fruit for a quick DIY snack mix. It disappears fast.
Fuel Up for Fall Adventures
Fall in Tennessee offers some of the best hiking weather around, and nothing fuels a day on the trails like beef jerky. Lightweight, shelf-stable, and packed with energy-boosting protein, it’s ideal for backpackers, bikers, and campers alike.
Planning a weekend road trip through the Smokies? Grab a bag of jerky (or three) to keep your crew happy between gas stations and scenic overlooks. With flavors like Teriyaki and Cajun, you’ll be snacking in style no matter how far off the grid you go.
Cozy Season, Country Style
Not into the great outdoors? No problem. Jerky makes a great at-home snack too. Movie night? Charcuterie board? Lazy Sunday on the porch? We’ve got you covered.
Try pairing your favorite jerky with craft beer or hard cider for a seasonal treat that feels fancy but keeps your feet firmly planted in country comfort. Throw in some smoked cheese, pickles, and maybe a little cornbread, and you’ve got yourself a southern-style snack spread worth writing home about.
