No Longer Accepting Wild Game

We will update this page once our schedule allows for more Wild Game. We apologize for the inconvenience.

New scheduling policy for drop-offs

True North Jerky and Foods has changed its deer and other custom meat processing policy. Please call 734-475-1300 to make an appointment for your wild game and other custom orders. All venison drop offs are to be made by appointment at the back entrance. 

Bring your completed order form to your appointment (call with questions)

 True North Jerky and Foods further processes your wild game and other custom meat orders* into jerky, snack sticks, summer sausage and a variety of sausage recipes. Schedule your appointment today for your cleaned and de-boned meat cuts. Select from our many recipe and flavor options for your custom order – all flavors used in store product are available for custom orders. If you are looking for a deer processor, rather than a further processor,  in Michigan, please review the 'Commercial Meat Processor List' from Michigan DNR.

All wild game and custom orders are processed in separate batches, which means the meat you bring in to us is the meat you get back. Scroll down to see our pricing information.

*We reserve the right to refuse any meat

JERKY** 

Regular Order       25 pounds raw weight               $126.00 (2 flavors $146.00)

Half Order             12 to 15 pounds raw weight      $ 84.00 1 flavor only

**Typically need a minimum of both back legs and one backstrap to yield 25 pounds of raw meat for jerky. Weights do vary by deer. Final product weight is less than the raw weight, due to water lost in the drying/cooking/smoking process.
