Visitors

Monty’s applauds the Cheylin grade school 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students who visited the plant during the first week in May. Students were treated to a behind the scenes look at the entire production process from racking and seasoning the jerky to smoking over hickory chunks.

Monty's received a limerick of gratitude from the Cheylin fifth grade class after they toured our facilities. We always enjoy our visitors, especially visitors that write us poems!

Thanks for the tour of your shop
We fifth-graders liked it a lot.
The baggin' was neat,
The jerky a treat,
And we think you're simply the tops!

First grade students from St. Francis Elementary school traveled to Bird City for a class tour of Monty’s Smoked Jerky. Tim and Wade demonstrated the process and students’ favorite part was sampling the flavors.
