The West family has roots in southwestern Oregon going back to the pioneer days. Gary West started his company in the Applegate Valley in 1966. Gary’s father, Fred, a barbcue aficionado, coached his grandson, Gary Jr. on a jerky recipe. He took it to a national high school contest with it in Washington, DC, and brought home the gold, launching the Gary West steak strips phenomenon.“We’ve focused on maintaining the integrity of the recipes, and keeping it simple and maintaining the superior quality of the meat. We buy premium cuts of meat and let those flavors shine through.”
