In this episode of The Personal Side of Business, I take you inside Teton Valley Brands in Boise, Idaho, for a full factory tour. Founder Kyle Nearing walks us through every step of the process—from muddy potatoes arriving straight from the fields to perfectly seasoned kettle chips hitting the shelves.
You’ll see:
🚜 How raw Idaho potatoes are cleaned, sliced, and fried
🍳 Why kettle-cooked chips have that signature crunch
⚙️ The million-dollar fryer that 4X’d production capacity
🧂 How consistent seasoning and customer feedback shaped their products
📦 Packaging, distribution, and how they scaled from basement shipments to retail shelves
This tour reveals the craftsmanship, technology, and entrepreneurial grind behind Teton Valley’s journey from a startup side hustle to a growing Idaho snack brand.
