Shelf Stable, But Healthier Than A Twinkie

O’Neil’s Quality Foods is a grocery, butcher shop and catering company in a small town in rural Pennsylvania. But for A.J. O’Neil, it’s not just about his farm or the daily role he plays in the family business - it’s about healthy recipes and relationships.

Season 1 Episode 105 | 26m 22s | CC

Jerky doesn't usually stay around long enough to become shelf stable, but A.J. introduces this longer-lasting variety of a protein-rich staple. This is a great one for road-trippers, hikers, and movers and shakers in need of healthy snacks.
