Pros

  • Twice-Awarded Biltong: Both biltong flavors won Good Food Awards in 2023 and again in 2026, when judges chose 242 winners from about 1,200 entries in a blind tasting that also weighs sourcing.
  • Short Ingredient List: The Original biltong lists five ingredients, grass-fed beef, organic wine vinegar, sea salt, organic black pepper and organic coriander, with 32g of protein and 0g of sugar per 2oz bag.
  • Proceeds Fund Nonprofit Work: Figure Ate belongs to White Buffalo Land Trust, a 501(c)(3) founded in 2018, and says 100% of its proceeds fund the trust's regenerative farming, research and farmer training.

Cons

  • Figure Ate ships only within the United States, so shoppers in Canada, Australia and the UK cannot order, and orders to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands go by USPS Priority Mail at weight-based rates that appear only at checkout.
  • Returns cover damaged shipments and product defects only, and single bags work out to about $6 an ounce, so start with the $40.82 Starter Pack, which ships free, and move to an 8-pack at 10% off once you know your flavor.

The Verdict

What sets Figure Ate apart is that a regenerative-agriculture nonprofit makes award-winning biltong to pay for its own work: Figure Ate launched in 2020 as the food brand of White Buffalo Land Trust, a 501(c)(3) founded in 2018 that runs Jalama Canyon Ranch, a 1,000-acre center for regenerative agriculture in Santa Barbara County, and the brand says 100% of its proceeds fund that work. The range is short: Original and Spiced biltong, a South African-style air-dried beef snack, and a naturally fermented vinegar made from California persimmons. Each 2oz bag starts as a 5oz steak of grass-fed and grass-finished beef from US regenerative ranches, is marinated, seasoned and air-dried for 14 days rather than smoked, and carries 32g of protein and 0g of sugar. Both flavors won Good Food Awards in 2023 and again in 2026, when judges picked 242 winners from about 1,200 entries. Prices are simple. Single 2oz bags of either flavor cost $11.99, the persimmon vinegar is $18.99, and the Starter Pack with one bag of each biltong and a bottle of vinegar is $40.82. Multipacks run 10% below single prices: an 8-pack of biltong is $86.32, a 12-pack $129.49, and vinegar 3-packs and 6-packs $51.27 and $102.54. Orders are processed in 1 to 2 business days. Standard ground delivery in the contiguous US takes 3 to 5 business days and costs $8.95 under $40 and nothing from $40, while expedited delivery in 2 to 3 business days costs $12.95. Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands are served by USPS Priority Mail at weight-based rates. The reservations are price, reach and a narrow return policy. Single bags work out to about $6 an ounce, so this is a premium snack, and the store ships only within the United States, which rules out Canada, Australia and the UK. Returns and exchanges cover damaged shipments and product defects only, arranged by email. The independent record is thin rather than poor: we found no Trustpilot or BBB profile, and the store's own page for the Original flavor shows 65 reviews. Start with the Starter Pack, which clears the free-shipping line, then move to an 8-pack once you know which flavor you prefer.

Award-Winning Grass-Fed Beef Biltong and Persimmon Vinegar From a Regenerative Nonprofit

Figure Ate launched in 2020 as the food brand of White Buffalo Land Trust, a California 501(c)(3) founded in 2018 that stewards Jalama Canyon Ranch, a 1,000-acre regenerative agriculture center in Santa Barbara County. The store's Terms name White Buffalo Land Trust, PO Box 22, Summerland, CA 93067, as the seller, and the brand says 100% of proceeds fund the trust's land, research and farmer-training work. The range is Original and Spiced beef biltong plus a naturally fermented persimmon vinegar, also sold through retail stores listed on its Find Us page.

Original and Spiced Grass Fed & Finished Beef Biltong cost $11.99 for a 2oz bag, and Naturally Fermented Persimmon Vinegar costs $18.99. The Starter Pack, with one bag of each biltong and a bottle of vinegar, is $40.82, and multipacks are priced 10% below single items: an 8-pack of biltong is $86.32, a 12-pack $129.49, a mix-and-match box runs from $86.32 for 8 bags to $172.66 for 16, and vinegar 3-packs and 6-packs cost $51.27 and $102.54. New email subscribers are offered 15% off a first order.

Each bag starts as a 5oz steak of 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef from US regenerative ranches, marinated, seasoned and air-dried for 14 days instead of smoked; the Original lists five ingredients and carries 32g of protein, 0g of sugar and no nitrates or MSG. Orders are processed in 1 to 2 business days, and standard ground delivery in the contiguous US takes 3 to 5 business days, costing $8.95 under $40 and nothing from $40, with expedited 2 to 3 day delivery at $12.95. Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands ship by USPS Priority Mail at weight-based rates, and the store does not ship to Canada, Australia or the UK.

Returns and exchanges are accepted for damaged shipments and product defects, arranged by email at [email protected], and approved refunds go back to the original payment method within 14 days of the store receiving the goods. The biltong won Good Food Awards in 2023 and 2026, and Jerky Ingredients gave the Original 9 out of 10 for taste in March 2026 while rating its price as very expensive. We found no Trustpilot or BBB profile, so the store's own reviews, 65 on the Original biltong page, are the main customer record.

Buyer's guide

Figure Ate: what to know before you buy

Figure Ate sells grass-fed beef biltong and persimmon vinegar to fund a California regenerative-agriculture nonprofit. Here is what it costs, how shipping and returns work, and how to pick a flavor.

Shipping, returns & warranty

Orders are processed within 1 to 2 business days, not counting weekends and holidays. Standard ground delivery in the contiguous US takes 3 to 5 business days and costs $8.95 on orders under $40; from $40 it is free. Expedited Priority delivery takes 2 to 3 business days and costs $12.95 on any order, though it does not shorten the processing time.

Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands are served by USPS Priority Mail, priced by package weight at checkout. The store ships only within the United States, so there is no delivery to Canada, Australia or the UK. We found no published holiday order-by date, so allow at least a week for ground delivery when you send gifts.

Biltong is shelf-stable dried beef, so it travels without ice packs. Returns and exchanges are accepted for damaged shipments and product defects: email [email protected]. Approved refunds go back to the original payment method within 14 days of the store receiving the goods. As a food product, it carries no warranty.

Figure Ate product lines

Original Grass Fed & Finished Beef Biltong is seasoned with organic coriander and black pepper, and Spiced Biltong adds cayenne pepper and garlic. Both come in 2oz bags at $11.99, each starting as a 5oz steak of 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef from US regenerative ranches, marinated, seasoned and air-dried for 14 days. A bag carries 32g of protein and 0g of sugar.

Naturally Fermented Persimmon Vinegar ($18.99) is made from California-grown persimmons and filtered water, raw and unpasteurized at 5% acidity. The brand suggests it for salad dressings, marinades, sauces and cocktails, and it is the marinade base for the biltong.

Bundles include the $40.82 Starter Pack (one bag of each biltong and a bottle of vinegar), 8-packs and 12-packs of either flavor, a mix-and-match biltong box and vinegar 3-packs and 6-packs.

How to choose

Pick the Original if you want the classic coriander-and-pepper biltong flavor, and the Spiced if you like gentle heat from cayenne. Figure Ate says the Original is its best seller.

If you have not tried biltong before, the Starter Pack is the simplest way in: one bag of each flavor plus the vinegar for $40.82, which also clears the $40 free-shipping line. Once you know your flavor, an 8-pack or the mix-and-match box brings the price per bag down by 10%.

As a gift, the biltong is light, flat and shelf-stable, so it suits stocking fillers and care packages for hikers or anyone eating low-carb. The brand describes it as keto, paleo and Whole30 compatible; that is the brand's description, not a certification.

Deals & pricing

Figure Ate's standing offers are simple: multipacks are priced 10% below single items, orders of $40 or more ship free within the contiguous US, and new email subscribers are offered 15% off a first order. We have not seen other public discount codes, so we do not list any.

Single 2oz bags cost $11.99, about $6 an ounce, which is premium pricing for a meat snack. The best value per bag is an 8-pack ($86.32, about $10.79 a bag) or a 12-pack ($129.49). To catch a holiday sale, set a price alert on In-Right's /watchlist/ page.

About this review

Is this Figure Ate review sponsored?

No. Figure Ate did not pay for this write-up, see it before publication, or have any say in the verdict. If we earn anything it is a commission after you buy, and it comes out of the merchant’s margin rather than your price.

How was the Figure Ate assessed?

By using it and by checking the claims made about it against what it actually does. Where our time with something has been limited, the review says so rather than implying more testing than happened.

What else have you reviewed in Food & Drinks?

Everything in Food & Drinks sits in the review library, where you can filter by budget and sort by rating, price or how recently it landed.

Do you update reviews after publishing?

Yes — when a product changes, when a price moves for good, or when we get something wrong. Corrections are made on the piece itself with a note saying what changed.
