Get ready for an emotional, heartfelt ride in this episode of the NTI PodTalk as we dive into the inspiring story behind Jackson’s. Meet Scott and Megan Reamer, the passionate duo who turned their family’s fight for health into a mission-driven snack company. Their journey began over a decade ago when their son, Jackson, was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease, leaving them searching for answers. Determined to improve his quality of life, they turned to nutrition, discovering the power of healthy fats and anti-inflammatory foods. What started as a personal pursuit soon evolved into Jackson’s—a line of delicious, nutrient-dense snacks that prioritize both taste and wellness.
About Scott and Megan Reamer:
Formerly known as Jackson’s Honest, Jackson’s has become the Snack Super™ brand, renowned for its sweet potato chips kettle-cooked in premium avocado oil and super flavors. The company cooks its chips low and slow to create a super taste and texture sensation.
Scott and Megan Reamer founded Jackson’s in 2013 in their kitchen in Crested Butte, Colorado. They began making chips as a healthy snack using low-inflammation ingredients for their eldest son, Jackson, who had been diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder.
After securing a $1.25 million investment from Shark Tank’s Rohan Oza, Jackson’s expanded its reach. Today, its super snacks with better ingredients have gained a passionate community of fans. Consumers can now find Jackson’s chips in major retailers like Walmart, Target, Costco, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Kroger, CVS, 7-Eleven, and various regional grocers and co-ops. Additionally, shoppers can purchase them online in multipacks and variety packs at JacksonsChips.com and Amazon.com.
