Meat The Makers

Howdy Y'all!

Now, let me tell you a little story ‘bout how Howdysnax came to be—a tale of two South African cowpokes with Biltong and Droëwors running through their veins, and a firehouse jerky-slingin’ legend we call Duke.

First off, Pieter and me? We’re South African born and bred, partners in crime when it comes to making air-dried meat magic. Biltong and Droëwors have been a part of our lives since we were knee-high to a kudu. I grew up in Pretoria, South Africa, where winters were spent on our family farm in the Great Karoo, turnin’ fresh cuts of meat into mouthwatering Biltong and Droëwors after every hunt. Pieter? Well, he’s from Kuruman, smack dab in the Kalahari, where his daddy and granddaddy made Biltong so good it’d make a grown man cry.
