Alberta is known for its beef but in one Alberta town it's the Jerky that's turning heads

- - - STORY CONTINUES BELOW IMAGE - - -
In this tiny community of only 303 residents, nine work at the plant Longview Beef Jerky plant. Longview uses only real Alberta beef to make their famous jerky which is thin sliced, spiced and dried.

"Being a connoisseur of Longview beef jerky is no different than being a connoisseur if you are a wine drinker of your favourite wine" says Longview lover and owner Peter Lawson. That’s why, 10 years ago, when he first encountered Longview Beef Jerky, Lawson knew he had to become part of the story.

The recipe will always remain a secret, but the jerky is easy to find, just head to Longview, Alberta, or your nearest fine grocers, which ever is closest.
