Ray-

I just got my special delivery jerky and was so excited to see your jerky in its true form! The one pound package is really a sight to see. A 16 inch slab of perfectly cut tasty jerky!

I am a huge jerky fan and I always try to find good local jerky in new places. So when visiting Paso Robles I snapped up your package and was excited to see the string hole from your drying technique! I'm a texan and I always love that true smokehouse thick cut jerky, but your puts the best Texas jerky to shame.

Truly amazing stuff and without a doubt the best jerky I have ever had.

I hope to come see your place one day and drive back to LA with a truckload of jerky!

Great job!

Joe Walters

Ahoy!

Hello... I just wanted to say thank you for the delivery it was greatly appreciated and by far the best Jerky I have ever had! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it; Nice morale lifter. It took some time to get here but that can only be expected. Thank you again! I will be ordering more once I get state side.

Wow! Your sausage is out of this world. I have always avoided anything ground and stuffed in a casing, but after reluctantly trying a little sliver of your delicious Italian sausage I was hooked. I take it to my friends and family in Orange County and San Bernardino. It is more welcome than a bottle of wine.

I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful surprise your Hickory beef jerky was! I was in Von's yesterday and saw the display and thought I would try it. I had heard so much about your products. Your jerky reminds me of the jerky we used to get when I was a child. And it is not very spicy! I cannot eat food that is too spicy. I will definitely buy it again! Thank you so much!

I would just like to say that this is the best beef jerky I have ever tasted in my life. My landlord lives in California, and he sent us some of your fine jerky as a Christmas present, and I haven't been able to stop eating it since!! Keep up the great work!

Hi Ray,

The Ray's Own Brand was definitely a hit at my house over Thanksgiving weekend. I cooked up two packages for breakfast one morning, and all except a couple of small bites were eaten for that meal. They were eaten later.. Of course I was feeding four starving men and me. It's thrilling to me to be able to eat sausage again, because a few years ago I became sensitive to Sodium Nitrite. When eaten, I would almost immediately get an intense migraine. I am happy to report no headache with Ray's Own Brand.

Thanks!
Suzanne

Ray,

You're Pork Apple Honey Sausage is the best sausage I've ever had. Thank you very much.

Thanks for keeping me informed. Hope things are doing well. We recieved a letter stating that Albertson's is going to be carrying your beef jerky? Will you still be accepting orders through the mail? Sometimes trying to get things at the store is a crapshoot. When we order through you, we can count on the Jerky being here on time, and we can get our fix!! Some of our friends that we've sent your way, also feel the same way. Sooo, hopefully we can still do the mail order thang. Thanks again for your great hospitality and keeping us up on things.

One of your loyal and greatful customers,
Neal and Cheryl Falk

Your gift of Teriyaki jerky was seasoned JUST RIGHT! We gave some to our neighbor and they too thought it was great. We are enjoying our sausages and will be up to buy more.

Raymond,

I never thought I would eat beef again until I tried Ray’s Own Brand beef jerky. What a fabulous, tender, juicy taste. I have some thinking to do after seven years of being a vegetarian.

Hello,

Ray’s Own Brand bratwurst brings back fond memories of my tour of duty in Germany. I have not been able to experience the flavors of old fashioned German sausage anywhere until now.

Dear Raymond and Nina,

Each year the Agricultural Leadership Alumni develops a dynamic program to educate Washington DC agency staffers about California and its agricultural concerns. The event is a unique opportunity to communicate face-to-face with the questions and concerns of regulators on the spot. Thank you so much for your fine dinner that was served at the Santa Margarita Ranch on Friday evening. The cuisine certainly reflected the spirit of the West Coast for our East Coast visitors. We couldn’t have experienced a successful event without your help!

A quick note to let you know that I BBQ'd five pounds of Salchicha Caballero at the Brainerd Amateur Radio Club picnic last week...this is bratwurst country but let me tell you that I converted a whole lot of folks over to the best Cowboy Sausage in the Country!

Cheers!

The Swiss sausage and Linguica were terrific. Just like the old days.

Michalyn Simpson

Hi Nina and Ray,

I want you to know how much I enjoyed the Salchicha Caballero. It’s superb! In the winter months I cook my steaks and sausage on a range top Calphalon grill pan. Your sausage gives off very little smoke when cooked. Must be a lower fat content than other brands that smoke up a storm. Thanks for the really tasty product!

Cheers,

Dear Nina,

Just a short note to let you know how much my family and I enjoy your sausage. The fact that it is now available at Foods 4 Less in Atascadero (where I do most of my grocery shopping), means that I no longer have to make two stops (either at Spencer's or Albertson's.)

My favorite is the Pork Apple Honey (it's not just for breakfast anymore!) My grandsons like the Hot Italian and the Caballero. The Linguica tastes just like the "old country". We served it at Cruise Night in August in Atascadero.

Best Regards,
Cathy L. Williams

Hi Nina, it's Nina.

My parents and I had the smoke cowboy sausage this morning for breakfast and I couldn't wait to tell you both how delicious it was. It was so lean, full of flavor and not too hot. We can't wait to try the Swiss I bought also. The jerky was tender and delicious also. I'll be ordering some more soon. It was nice meeting you and thank you. God Bless.

Dear Nina and Ray,

On recommendation from a friend our family recently, and happily, discovered Rays Own Brand sausages. Soon after, I told our friend that the sausages are everything she said and more! What a wonderful, delicious product you have with Rays Own Brand! Words cannot describe our delight at finding a truly 'sausage' Sausage, if that makes sense. They cook up just beautifully, scrumptious color with a perfect blending of spices. The best part, of course, is biting in. Other brands might taste good but the flavor seems to come mostly from fat and salt. In our opinion Rays Own Brand has a lot of meat and the flavor is from spice and seasonings, it does not taste overly salted. Rays Own Brand hit our mark of a true sausage in two ways other ways. That little resistant pop of the skin when you bite in and great texture (instead of everything just ground to meal).

They get rave remarks when served to company and we look forward to trying all the styles you make. Thanks for an excellent product!

Sincerely,
Steve and Janice Nelson

Dear Nina and Ray,

I was just recently in Iraq serving in the military. My Grandpa Dick Ruiz set up an account with Ray to have jerky sent to me every two weeks with no shipping charge. It was awesome. My fellow soilders and I looked for that special package almost everyday, everyone there that tried your awesome product really enjoyed it and they really thank you for your support.

Thank You,
SGT Barnes

Dear Nina,

Thank you very much for the sample of your new Smoked Jerky when I stopped in last Thursday. IT IS DELICIOUS! My husband said it's the best beef jerky he has ever tasted. Perfect smokey flavor. Your tip about using kitchen scissors to cut bite size pieces is great.

Thanks again! Happy Day!
Janice Nelson - Paso Robles

p.s. your facility is beautiful

Dear Nina-Marie and Ray,

We just wanted to thank you guys again for the great day last Saturday. I think it was the best one ever. We got to see a lot of old friends and made some new ones too. We sure enjoyed tasting all your great products. It sure was a happy event! Thanks to you for all your work and to all the people that helped set-up and serve. What a nice group. We'll be seeing you soon.
