Our names are Lee, Gayle, Aaron, and Laura Holsman, and we are the proud owners of Preferred Wholesale, Inc. in Albia, Iowa. 

As you are probably already aware, meat snacks are a 3.5 billion dollar industry that just keeps growing. Being in the meat snack distribution business since 1984 has given us the insight to create a brand that is unique and catching on quickly.

IOWA SMOKEHOUSE is the name of our line of jerky and meat snacks. It has quickly caught on with our customers; first in Iowa, then in Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska, and it’s just kept growing! We are now in 48 states.

What makes us different? Four things:  Looks,  Quantity,  Quality, and Price.

Big jerky companies compete over eye-catching graphics. Our goal was to stand out as different with an old-fashioned, country, fresh market look. We have accomplished this with our very simple black and white label which looks like something a meat market would slap on the product. This label has worked very well for our customers, as it breaks away from the convenience store look. 

Many of our competitors sell a small amount of jerky in a great big bag, so we have done the opposite. We put a lot of product in a little bag, and our consumers love it! So do our retail customers; it takes up less space in their stores!

And our meat stick line is mostly bigger packs; 8 oz, 11 oz, 16 oz, 24 oz, and 32 oz; all designed for the consumer that regularly buys meat snacks and is tired of paying the high (and rising) prices at the cash register for small eaches. They want an affordable supply in the truck or at home in the fridge. 

Often as big companies grow they cheapen their products to pay for the overhead. Our product is all USA beef and/or pork. Taste the difference in any of our 7 flavors of jerky; thick and tender.

And our meat stick line is second to none! We have all beef, all pork, and combination beef and pork sticks in many flavors. We pride ourselves in snack sticks that are of highest quality and taste absolutely delicious.

We try our best to work with any marketing plan you have to make our product a great buy for the consumer and profitable for the retailer.

Will you allow us to partner with you to build your meat snack business? We certainly hope so!
