Promising review: "I have been ordering different flavors of Louisville Vegan Jerky for the last few months, and after discovering my local health food store couldn't carry it, I decided to splurge on a monthly box subscription. I just got my first box today, and, even though I had already ordered the limited edition pineapple sweet and sour, I was not disappointed. They are all delicious, and I had not tried the other two flavors before this; so that was exciting. I definitely plan to keep this coming. Even the box it comes in is great." —Tawnie
