“We just clean meat, process it, and run it through dehydrating machines,” Jacobi said.
Jacobi said he had two years of prior management experience and three years working at a kosher butcher shop, where he learned to make jerky.
Jacobi said he will start with five electric dehydrating machines.
“Slowly but surely, we’ll have to add in some more,” he said.
The owner was joined by his sister, Sarah Jacobi, and father, Sharok Jacobi.
“He’s starting out,” his sister said to the board. “We hope and wish for him to expand and succeed.”
