    Montana's Wild Heritage: Buffalo Jerky That Honors the Land

    The thunder of bison hooves once echoed across Montana's vast plains, and today, that wild spirit lives on in every piece of our handcrafted Buffalo Jerky. At Chalet Market, we've transformed this iconic symbol of the American West into two exceptional jerky varieties that capture both tradition and innovation – our classic Montana-Made Bison Jerky and our irresistible Buffalo Teriyaki Jerky.

    Mark and I believe that creating authentic jerky is an art form that demands patience, respect for the meat, and an understanding of Montana's heritage. Both varieties begin with 100% North American bison, sourced from ranchers who share our commitment to ethical practices and superior quality. This isn't beef – bison offers a richer, slightly sweeter flavor profile with significantly more protein and less fat, making it the perfect foundation for premium jerky.
