The Teton Valley lies in the shadow of the Grand Teton Mountains, with high elevation and cold temperatures creating unique growing conditions. The valley floor consists of former lakebed soils surrounded by mountain slopes and forest lands.
Specialty seed potato production takes advantage of the isolated location and disease-free environment, while hay production supports local cattle operations. The short growing season limits crops to cold-hardy varieties and early-maturing grains.
