Kettle-cooked potato chips.
Waterville, NB CA · coveredbridgechips.com
Covered Bridge is a fourth-generation, Albright family-owned kettle-chip maker in Waterville, New Brunswick, cooking dark russet potatoes grown on its own Saint John River Valley farms into chips, popcorn and chickpea snacks. Ownership, manufacturing and staffing are all Canadian and reported directly by the company; oil and seasoning sourcing for the smaller specialty lines was not itemized by origin anywhere on the site. Giant Tiger was the only grocer confirmed by a fetched page; Walmart and Voila both returned bot challenges on repeated attempts and were left off.
Factors
Ownership
100.0 reportedCA 100%
Matt and Ryan Albright acquired the family potato farm in 2004 and launched Covered Bridge Potato Chips in 2009; the company describes itself as a fourth-generation family enterprise in the Saint John River Valley, and Ryan Albright is named President and CEO in the company's own October 2024 update, which refers only to internal shareholders and names no outside investor or foreign parent. Corporations Canada's federal search for "Covered Bridge" and "Covered Bridge Potato" returned no matching corporation, so the entity is likely incorporated provincially in New Brunswick; that registry could not be searched this session, leaving the vendor's own statements as the basis for confidence.

Dark russet potatoes, the dominant ingredient by weight across the core chip lines, are grown on the Albright family's own farms and are 100% Canadian. Canola oil, used in most chip flavours, is a widely Canadian-grown crop but the site does not state where the oil itself is sourced or pressed. Specialty lines use avocado oil, coconut oil (the popcorn range) and sunflower oil (the Lela's chickpea chips), and seasoning blends such as jalapeno, curry and BBQ spice are not itemized by country of origin anywhere on the site, so these are treated as imported.
