The factory is in Fairfield-about an hour and a half from here. The tours are daily, every 15minutes and they are free!!!!However, you could only take photos in the store and gathering area-not on the factory floor:( So, no pics of their secret will be revealed :( sorry
The Reagan pic and the bear pic are made from thousands of jelly belly's by artists. There is a whole gallery of them---including Elvis! Very cool---tasty and time consuming too!
There was a jelly belly vending machine--why aren't these everywhere?
Also, a sampling bar! Yep, a jelly belly sampling bar. You can taste every flavor that they make... We tasted everything from apple pie a la mode to grape crush to bubble gum...The place just smelled edible too! A kids dream here.
And, did I mention that the tour was free???
We learned that the beans that aren't perfect are called "belly flops" and they are sold at half price! We bought a 2lb bag of course...
Overall, it was a sweet trip:) And, I am sure that we can find reason to visit again!!!!!!!!
