The Mission | Snapper Creek Jerky Co.

Our Mission

At Snapper Creek we believe in transparency. We know that supporting us by buying jerky is a decision that you (not just your mouth and stomach) want to feel good about. So we want to be transparent about how we are accomplishing our two big community goals. First, we want to be able to pay our employees as much as they deserve. Second, we want to be able to contribute to the fight against food insecurity.

How Are We Stacking Up?

Pay Transparency

We currently have 5 additional people working on our team. We pay each worker a base wage of $20 per hour. Each worker contributes 0–12 hours every week. Our goal is to soon be able to hire our first employee with health benefits.
At this stage, the co-founders do not take any wages or dividends from the company. All resources are reinvested directly into the business.

Donation Transparency

Current Jerky Value given in 2026 (Updated 1/20/2026): $600

Each month we donate 1 out of every 25 bags sold to Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. Hunger undermines concentration, memory, and classroom performance, and those setbacks compound into broader educational and economic inequality. We know that every child deserves the fuel to learn, grow, and thrive.
