Whittington's Jerky & General Store
Hill Country Trail Region
602 US Highway 281
Johnson City, Texas 78636
In the 1950s, D.J. & Gertrude Whittington purchased the Johnson City Locker Plant, which had processed meat for the surrounding area for at least four decades. After perfecting the recipe in custom-built smokehouses, they began to focus on selling their slow-smoked jerky, which you can now buy by the pound or in packages at the general store along with peach cobbler in a jar and other local preserved goods.
