Our Mission
At Snapper Creek we believe in transparency. We know that supporting us by buying jerky is a decision that you (not just your mouth and stomach) want to feel good about. So we want to be transparent about how we are accomplishing our two big community goals. First, we want to be able to pay our employees as much as they deserve. Second, we want to be able to contribute to the fight against food insecurity.
How Are We Stacking Up?
Pay Transparency
- We currently have 3 additional people working part time on our team and one full time worker. We start each part time worker at a base wage of $20 per hour with 5% annual increases. The part time workers work anywhere from 0-16 hours per week and our full time employee works 36 hours a week. Our full time employee makes $50,000 annually with full health care benefits and 4 weeks of PTO.
- At this stage, the co-founders do not take any wages or dividends from the company. All resources are reinvested directly into the business.
Donation Transparency
Current Jerky Value given in 2026 (Updated 8/1/2026): $1,824
Each month we donate 1 out of every 25 bags sold to Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. Hunger undermines concentration, memory, and classroom performance, and those setbacks compound into broader educational and economic inequality. We know that every child deserves the fuel to learn, grow, and thrive.
