HFM Farm OG-A1 Beef Jerky
HFM Farm OG-A1 Beef Jerky
OG-A1 is a steak-sauce beef jerky with no heat in it at all. The marinade is a full steak sauce — tomato puree, vinegar, raisin paste, crushed orange puree, and spices — over 100% beef, finished with garlic and onion. An ounce carries 12 g of protein at 70 calories, so a 2 oz bag runs 24 g of protein for 140 calories.
At 280 mg of sodium per ounce it's one of the leaner flavors on the shelf — Monty's Original runs 480 mg and Spicy Teriyaki runs 610 mg. The flavor is tangy and tomato-forward rather than salty, and the raisin and orange in the steak sauce give it a faint sweetness that reads as depth, not as a sweet jerky. If Southern Sweet is too sugary and Monty's is too salty, this is the one in between.
MSG is on the ingredient list, and the spice blend contains celery. Sealed, it's shelf-stable — refrigerate once opened and finish within 7 days. Single 2 oz bag or a 3-pack at 6 oz total, $3.98 under three singles. Made in small batches by Joey and Brandi Federico in Jacksonville, Florida.

Is there any heat in this one?
None. OG-A1 is the no-heat version — Fiery A1 is the same steak-sauce idea with cayenne, red pepper flake, chili powder, and Tabasco added.
How salty is it compared to the other flavors?
It's among the lowest. 280 mg per ounce against Monty's Original at 480 mg and Spicy Teriyaki at 610 mg. Only Southern Teriyaki is lower, at 220 mg.
Does it contain MSG?
Yes. Monosodium glutamate is listed as its own ingredient.
What are the allergens?
No "Contains" statement is printed on this package. The spice blend inside the steak sauce does contain celery, and cultured celery powder is a separate ingredient — worth knowing if celery is a problem for you. If you have a specific allergen concern, check the panel on the bag you receive.
Does it need to be refrigerated?
Not sealed — shelf-stable and fine in a hot vehicle. Once open, refrigerate and eat within 7 days. Use it by the date printed on the package.
Is the 3-pack cheaper?
Yes. $19.99 for 6 oz against $23.97 for three singles — $3.98 saved.
