Southern Tradition in Every Bite

As Christmas draws near, there’s no better time to celebrate family, flavor, and tradition. That’s exactly what Stripling’s embodies. For more than 50 years (and counting), Stripling’s General Store has been crafting meats and Southern specialties in a way that feels timeless and genuine. Whether you’re treating yourself or surprising a loved one, our selection of small-batch beef jerky, specialty sausages, and ready-to-gift boxes brings warmth, flavor, and that authentic Southern comfort to the season.

Stripling’s Beef Jerky Is a Holiday Staple

One of the standout reasons folks return to Stripling’s, year after year, is our handcrafted jerky. Stripling’s beef jerky isn’t rushed through mass production. It is made in small batches, with attention to detail that ensures every bite is tender, flavorful, just pure, delicious jerky made the old-fashioned way.

• No Nitrates
• No MSG
• No Artificial Flavors 

Our peppered, hickory-smoked, and seasoned jerky options offer variety: from bold, smoky notes to savory and spicy flavors, there’s something to satisfy every palate. Because of its shelf-stable nature and ease of sharing, jerky is an ideal holiday snack for road trips, family stocking stuffers, or cozy winter nights by the fire.

Specialty Sausages & Top Quality Meats

The Striplings’ family brings to the holiday table a variety of specialty sausages and quality meats that reflect their long heritage and commitment to high standards. Our offerings include fresh pan sausage, smoked sausage links, Certified Angus Beef, and more.

Imagine a holiday breakfast featuring hot sausage biscuits, a cozy dinner with sausage and potato stew, or a festive charcuterie spread laid out for friends and family. Those kinds of meals bring comfort, nostalgia, and connection.

Because these meats are made with attention and tradition, they carry a richness and depth of flavor that mass-produced products just can’t match. Choosing Stripling’s General Store this holiday means giving something hearty, homespun, and rooted in Southern food culture.
