Exotic Jerky for Utica, Cooperstown and the Mohawk Valley

The Mohawk Valley is the closest stretch of New York the table does not already drive to, which makes it the fastest shipping on the map: a box that leaves Albany on Monday is usually in Utica or Cooperstown by Wednesday.

Jerky for a Cooperstown baseball week

Every summer week from June into August a new wave of twelve-year-olds and their families lands in Cooperstown for tournament week, and the one thing every dugout runs out of is a snack that is not candy. A Build Your Own 3-Pack of the big 7 and 8 oz beef bags, Sweet Garlic, Teriyaki Brisket and Cowboy Hickory Smoked, feeds a dugout for a weekend and ships to the rental house or the dorm address before the first game. Order it the week before you leave; it arrives faster than the team does.

Herkimer County camps and the Adirondack foothills

From Little Falls and Dolgeville north into the West Canada Lake country, the Mohawk Valley is where a lot of Capital Region hunting camps actually sit. Venison jerky and elk from the Whiskey Hill Trophy Series are the camp bags, 3 oz vacuum packs that ride in a coat pocket for a week, and the jerky for hunting and fishing trips guide covers how much to bring per person per day. The full exotic lineup is on the exotic wild game page.

Ordering from Utica, Rome, Amsterdam or Johnstown

There is no store in Utica and no pickup at the Albany address; 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. The nearest table to the valley is the spring Flower and Garden Expo at HVCC in Troy, about an hour down the Thruway from Amsterdam, and the full schedule is on the events page.

Questions

Is there a jerky store in Utica, NY?

Jerky Hut NY has no storefront anywhere. We ship USPS from Albany, about 95 miles away, usually within two business days, and set up at fairs and sportsman shows around the Northeast.

Can you ship to a Cooperstown rental for tournament week?

Yes. Put the rental or dorm address on the order and allow a week. Orders usually leave Albany within two business days and reach the Mohawk Valley in another one or two.

Do you sell at the Herkimer County Fair or the Boonville Fair?

Not yet. The show schedule is on the events page; if a Mohawk Valley fair is added it will appear there first.

Which bags hold up best at a hunting camp?

The 3 oz exotic vacuum packs (venison, elk, bison, wild boar) and any 7 or 8 oz beef bag. All are shelf-stable until opened; after opening, keep the bag closed and cool and finish it within a week or so.
