ABOUT US
OUR STORY
Skuhna’s Jerky was founded by Ron and daughter Leah
​
Ron was a retired coal miner and former Fishing Charter Boat owner/operator. Ron’s parents immigrated to Australia from Central Europe in the fabulous fifties. His father taught him to hunt and fish and to respect their catch, what wasn’t eaten fresh was often cured then smoked or dried. This included both meat and fish. We found that whilst outdoors in remote locations away from any food stores that jerky provided the ultimate protein, low fat snack to sustain him. Sugar hits work for a short time but did not provide the lasting energy required.
​
Leah grew up around fishing, hunting and good food with Ron, and her mother being a chef. She learnt from the best. She came from a background in Real Estate, Accounts and Marketing.
For quite a few years they have provided friends and family with their tasty jerky and in 2015, Ron & Leah decided to take the next step, open a shop, and our product went national.
OUR PRODUCTS
Over time they developed flavours to suit most palates. From the mild but full flavours of BBQ and Honey Soy to the spicy and hot flavours of the peppers and chilli ranges. Skuhna’s Jerky uses export quality Aussie beef in its production to maintain its high standard. No two pieces look the same as the beef is handcrafted. The product is dried to a very low moisture content so you are getting great value as you’re not paying for excess water.
In 2023 Ron decided to put down his knife and re-retire, and Leah's husband Stephen came onboard with a mountain of knowledge being a Qualified Chef. They continue to create our amazing high quality tasty Jerky.

We are 100% family owned and operated and we are very proud of our high quality product. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!!
