They Sold Their Home to Build a Potato Chip Brand | Teton Valley Brand’s Wild Entrepreneur Story

In this episode of The Personal Side of Business, I sit down with Kyle and Amy Nehring, founders of Teton Valley Brands Potato Chips in Boise, Idaho. Their story is one of faith, grit, and resilience—transforming late-night packaging sessions in their basement into a full-scale chip manufacturing facility.

We dive into:
🌱 How the idea for Idaho-branded potato chips was born back in 2010
🥔 The challenges of sourcing and manufacturing the perfect chip
💸 Risking it all—selling their home, maxing out credit cards, and facing years without a paycheck
🙏 The role of faith, family, and perseverance through near-bankruptcy and COVID hardships
🚀 Scaling production, raising capital, and partnering with Snake River Farms on their Wagyu Beef Tallow Chips
🛒 Why distribution and branding decisions shaped their growth from local shelves to major retailers

This is more than a business story—it’s about family, sacrifice, and believing in a vision when the odds are stacked against you.

👉 Don’t miss this powerful conversation packed with lessons for entrepreneurs, dreamers, and anyone chasing big goals.
