Exotic Jerky Shipped to Plattsburgh, Fort Drum and the North Country

North of the Lake George shows the Northway keeps going for another two hours, and so does the mail. Plattsburgh, the St. Lawrence River towns and Watertown are the far north of our shipping map, and Fort Drum is the single address we send more jerky to than any other.

Fort Drum and the 10th Mountain Division

Jerky is barracks food for a reason: shelf-stable, high protein, no fridge, no cooking. A Build Your Own 6-Pack ships free to a Fort Drum mailing address, and the bags that get ordered for soldiers are the big ones, Cowboy Hickory Smoked, Prime Rib and Ghost Pepper, plus a Kangaroo pack as the dare. The how to store jerky guide covers how long an opened bag lasts in a locker.

Lake Champlain, the St. Lawrence and the ice-fishing season

From Plattsburgh and Rouses Point down to Ticonderoga, Lake Champlain fishes year round, and the ice shanty season from January to March is when a vacuum-packed 3 oz exotic earns its keep: nothing freezes solid, nothing needs a stove. Elk and Bison are the mild ones, gator is the one that gets passed around the shanty. The same goes for the St. Lawrence walleye and muskie crowd out of Massena, Ogdensburg and Clayton.

Ordering from Plattsburgh, Malone, Potsdam or Watertown

No store in the North Country and no pickup in Albany; this is a shipping business with a fair-season table. Online orders ship USPS from Albany, usually within two business days, with free shipping on orders of $100 or more. Within the Northeast most packages arrive in 2 to 5 business days. Clinton, Franklin, St. Lawrence and Jefferson County addresses usually land at two to three business days. We ship within the United States only, so Montreal and Cornwall are out of range. The nearest tables are Americade in Lake George and the Adirondack Balloon Festival in Queensbury, on the Lake George and Adirondacks page.

About 165 miles up the Northway. There is no pickup at the Albany address; everything ships USPS.
