A Squatchkin? Jack O'Linktern? Whatever we name this beautiful pumpkin, Sasquatch is an icon and inspiration, in and out of the forest! Thank you to the artists at Maniac Pumpkin Carvers for this amazing piece of art. #maniacpumpkins #happyhalloween2023 #JackLinks

National Park season officially kicked off last month and we celebrated by creating wild cargo shorts designed for trail snacking. They sold out in ONE MINUTE! As part of the celebration, Jack Link's contributed $10,000 to the National Parks Conservation Association, whose mission is to protect and enhance America's National Park System for present and future generations. See you on the trails, beef stick in hand (or pocket)! #conservation #jacklinks

Jack Link's Senior Brand Director Tracy Fleischhacker Quigley joined the hosts of the Twin Cities' WCCO | CBS News Minnesota Mid-Morning show for a #MarchMadness kickoff, featuring a "Tender Meat for Tender Meat" care package giveaway for those "benched" during the tournament ✂🥩🏀.

We saw this video of our sweet Mia on our Lorissa's Kitchen Instagram page and couldn't resist. Mia works hard (mostly stealing hearts and meat snacks) in our Minneapolis office whenever she visits!  #GoodDog #NationalLoveYourPetDay #DogsOfLinkedIn

Congratulations to @BassProShops and founder Johnny Morris on 50 years of business, and for decades of support of our service men and women. We were honored to join Johnny and HelpingaHero.org onstage at the Grand Ole Opry to surprise a deserving veteran, Staff Sergeant Justin Shellhammer of the US Army, with a specially-adapted home for his family as part of the 100 Homes Challenge for wounded heroes.
