The Jelly Belly Factory is in Fairfield, CA. It was made famous by Ronald Reagan when he wanted something to help him stop pipe smoking. Remember? He always had a jar of jelly beans on his desk and at meetings. The tour is very kid-friendly, but on Saturday there were no workers in the factory, so we had to watch short videos on the process of making the beans.
There were several portraits of famous people hung throughout the factory, each using about 10,000 beans. This was the first one done in 1980.
This is one All-American, patriotic company! Yes!!
