Biltong Pioneers

Hi there, we are Ben and Em and we want to invite you to be bold with us. Brooklyn Biltong was built with two goals in mind: Introduce Biltong to America, and make a difference in our neighborhood while doing so.

Why Biltong?

We made our first batch of Biltong in 2012 as a snack for our wedding reception. None of our friends had tasted it before, but they met it with delighted tastebuds, and a demand for more! Their excitement in discovering Biltong led us to recognize the opportunity we had to make it more widely known.

What makes us different?

We established what we call 'Eat and Feed.' Because our Biltong is a grass fed, sustainable, protein rich nutrient, we give away 10% of our profit in the form of actual Biltong to local Brooklyn organizations. We've most recently been donating to Chips, who works with City Harvest in distributing the Biltong into hungry hands.

Building on momentum.

We opened doors for Brooklyn Biltong in 2014, and we were met with great demand! After being mentioned in GQ and headlining the popular blog Uncrate, it was clear that the market wanted more.

Hot off the press

We were overjoyed by everyone that recognized the benefit of this new protein snack, as well as our cause. In order to open up more doors, we paused production to move our operation to a USDA-approved facility that met our growing demand.

The Lovely Rewards!

Our tee's are printed on American Apparel 50/50, great quality, American made, and awesomely Brooklyn! Our totes are 10 oz. heavyweight cotton canvas. This bright bag will be a cheerful (and helpful) addition to any daily task!

Rewards

What we are planning, and how you can help!

With your help, we can finish outfitting our new facility and purchase what we need to get Biltong back in your hands! (And mouths, obviously!)

We need help supporting:

OUR OWN RECIPE: (With more flavors to come!) We will be launching with a new original recipe, and need some help cutting through the logistical red tape of approving the recipe.

OUR DRYING BOX: In order to bring you authentic Biltong, air dried and all, we will be purchasing and shipping a South African Biltong box to our USDA approved kitchen.

WHOLESALE PUSH AND LOCAL PICKUP: We are going full blast with cross country and local wholesalers. We want to eliminate shipping costs and put Biltong in your hands with a simple trip to the corner store! This means the cost of marketing materials, new bags and labels, and brand strategy.

Thank you!

We are excited to be re-launching, and we can't wait to open doors. We want to thank our loyal Biltong Tribe for coming on the journey with us, and welcome any newcomers to the Biltong revolution!

All the best,

Ben and Em
