Our Story
The Mast Farms Legacy
Founded in 1873, Mast Farms has been a cornerstone of Myrtle Point, Oregon, for six generations. Nestled in the lush Coos County landscape, our 150-year-old family farm has thrived on hard work, a dedication to quality, and a deep connection to the land. From raising cattle to tending crops, the Mast family has always believed in sustainable farming practices that honor both nature and community. Today, we carry forward this legacy through 1873 Jerky, sharing our time-honored craft of gourmet jerky with jerky lovers everywhere.
The Recipe: 150 Years of Smoky Perfection
At the heart of 1873 Jerky is a smoked beef jerky recipe passed down through the Mast family for over 100 years. Born in 1873, this recipe began as a way to preserve the farm’s finest cuts of beef using simple, natural ingredients and traditional smoking techniques. “Papa John” Mast, a beloved family patriarch, has refined the process, blending premium beef with a secret mix of spices, then slow-smoking it over local hardwoods to lock in that signature bold, smoky flavor. Every batch of our smoked beef jerky stays true to this heritage. We source only the highest-quality, grass-fed beef, raised with care on our farm or by trusted local ranchers. The beef is hand-trimmed, marinated in our classic spice blend, and smoked low and slow—just as Papa John has done for decades. No shortcuts, no artificial preservatives, just honest-to-goodness jerky that tastes like home.
