WOODBOOGER BEEF JERKY
Born in the Mountains. Raised on a Century of Farm Tradition.
⬥ COMING SOON FROM SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA ⬥
by Clinch Haven Farms LLC · Big Stone Gap, Virginia
Something's Stirring in the Woods.
Folks around Appalachia have been telling stories about things wandering around these mountains for generations.
Around Southwest Virginia, we've got a name for one of them.
The Woodbooger. Our Appalachian name for Bigfoot.
Now he's wandered out of the woods and onto a fifth-generation family farm in Powell Valley.
Woodbooger Beef Jerky Company is being developed by Clinch Haven Farms LLC of Big Stone Gap, Virginia — a family farm established in 1922.
We're combining more than a century of farm heritage with Appalachian folklore, outdoor life and some ideas for beef jerky that probably ought to come with a campfire.
Woodbooger Beef Jerky is coming soon.
Apparently, the old feller got hungry.

What's a Woodbooger?
Bigfoot. Sasquatch. Wild Man.
Every part of the country seems to have its own name for the big hairy critter folks swear they've seen slipping through the woods.
Here in the mountains of Southwest Virginia, you'll hear another name:
WOODBOOGER
The Woodbooger has become part of the folklore and fun of our corner of Appalachia.
We figured if you're going to spend that much time hiding in the mountains, you probably ought to carry something to eat.
And that's where the beef jerky comes in.
The Woodbooger Found Himself a Farm.
Woodbooger Beef Jerky may be new. The farm behind it isn't.
Clinch Haven Farms was established in Powell Valley near Big Stone Gap, Virginia, in 1922.
For much of the twentieth century, Clinch Haven operated as a commercial dairy, raising Holstein cattle, processing Grade A dairy products and sending Clinch Haven milk trucks throughout Southwest Virginia.
More than a century later, Clinch Haven remains a working family farm.
Today the fifth generation continues raising beef cattle and making hay beneath the same Powell Valley mountains.
Woodbooger Beef Jerky Company is another chapter in that story.
What's Cookin'?
Our First Woodbooger Flavors Are Taking Shape.
🔥 FIRE IN THE HOLE
Sweet Heat Beef Jerky
Starts Sweet. Finishes with a BANG!
Inspired by the coal-mining heritage of Appalachia, Fire in the Hole delivers an explosion of flavor worthy of its name. A delicious blend of sweet and hot peppers creates a flavorful first bite, followed by a slow-building heat that sticks around long after you've finished chewing.
Sweet enough to draw you in, hot enough to keep you coming back!
Flavor Profile: Sweet peppers, bold spices, and lingering heat.
🏔️ BLACK PEPPER RIDGE
Garlic & Black Pepper Beef Jerky
Bold Garlic. A Little Pepper. All Mountain.
Take a trip up Black Pepper Ridge, where rich garlic flavor meets the satisfying bite of black pepper. This savory blend combines generous garlic seasoning, mild black pepper, and subtle smoky undertones for a hearty, well-balanced jerky.
Not too hot, not too mild. Just good, old-fashioned savory flavor that's right at home in the mountains.
Flavor Profile: Rich garlic, mild black pepper, and a touch of smoke.
🪵 MOUNTAIN SMOKEHOUSE
Steakhouse Seasoned Beef Jerky
Steakhouse Flavor. Mountain Tradition.
Who says you need a fancy steakhouse to enjoy great steakhouse flavor?
Mountain Smokehouse brings together a carefully balanced blend of savory spices and peppers, finished with a subtle hint of lime that gives this jerky a distinctive, mouthwatering character.
It's the kind of bold, satisfying flavor that tastes just as good beside a campfire as it does on the road.
Flavor Profile: Savory steakhouse seasonings, peppers, and a hint of lime.
🌶️ SWEETWATER CHILI
Sweet Chili Beef Jerky
A Little Sweet. A Little Heat. A Whole Lotta Mountain.
Inspired by the cool mountain streams of Appalachia, Sweetwater Chili brings a delicious twist to traditional beef jerky.
This distinctive Thai-style sweet chili blend combines flavorful chili peppers with smoky brown sugar for a satisfying balance of sweetness and gentle heat.
It's a little sweet, a little spicy, and mighty hard to put down once you've opened the bag.
Flavor Profile: Thai-style sweet chili, smoky brown sugar, and balanced pepper warmth.

100+ Years Before the Woodbooger Showed Up
Behind the blaze orange, camouflage and big hairy feller is a real Southwest Virginia farm.
Clinch Haven Farms has been part of Powell Valley since 1922.
Five generations have lived, worked and farmed here.
From Holstein dairy cattle and milk trucks to beef cattle and hayfields, the farm has changed with the times while remaining rooted in the same Appalachian valley.
Woodbooger Beef Jerky Company is being built on that history.
Not a made-up farm story.
A real one.
