This is an interesting one. For now this is a pending deal among two candy companies.
The consolidations continue. Hopefully Ferrara won't mess up what makes Jelly Belly what it is.
Did the factory tour; that was pretty neat, actually. The food in their commissary wasn't too bad either, though we took home way too much candy.
Hope the next investment group to manage Jelly Belly keeps the division while adding their other brands recipes and equipment to the Fairfield, CA facility. Hope the tours continue. I know that people make stops at the Jelly Belly factory to take breaks before visitors continue on their main destinations to Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, Reno, Davis, Napa, Berkeley and San Francisco.

Good tour to do in conjunction with CA 220 and CA 84 (the two ferry routes).
