Kosher Beef Jerky in Bulk for Shuls, Schools and Events
Buying kosher beef jerky in bulk for a shul, school or event is mostly a planning question: how many portions, in what size, by what date. Get those three right and it is the easiest food on the list: certified, sealed, no kitchen, and it keeps for months. Here is how to order it.
Portions, not pounds
Start with how people will eat it, then convert to weight.
| How it is eaten | Format | Portion |
|---|---|---|
| Handed out, one each | 1 oz minis | 1 per person per day |
| Bowls on a table | Bulk sliced, 1 lb bags | 1–2 oz per person |
| Carved at a table | 1 lb slabs | 1–2 oz per person |
| Individual gifts | 3 oz bags or a sampler | 1 per person |
Quick math
| People | Minis (one each) | Bulk for bowls (about 1.5 oz a head) |
|---|---|---|
| 50 | 50–55 | About 5 lb |
| 100 | 100–110 | About 9.5 lb |
| 250 | 250–275 | About 23.5 lb |
Common bulk uses
- Shuls: kiddush, shalosh seudos, youth programs, holiday events. See the kiddush guide.
- Schools: class trips, snacks on meat lunch days, graduation and siyum events. Check the school's nut and meat-day rules.
- Organizations: care-package drives, conferences, fundraisers. See running a care-package drive.
- Simchas: favors and tables. See bar and bat mitzvah favors.
Lead time
We dry in small batches in Ormond Beach, Florida, so a large order is a production question as well as a stock one. For anything over about a hundred portions, or with a fixed date, talk to us at least three or four weeks ahead with the number of people, the format and the date. We will tell you honestly whether the date works.
Kashrus for the committee
Everything we make is certified Glatt Kosher, and meat. The certificates are published so your shul's or school's kashrus committee can check the agency before you order.
