The Jelly Belly Candy Company, or simply Jelly Belly, is a maker of jelly beans and other candy. Formerly known as The Herman Goelitz Candy Company, Jelly Belly produces more than 34 million pounds (15000 tonnes) of candy annually. The company is based in Fairfield, California and has nearly 800,000 square feet (74,000 m2) of production space between its Fairfield , North Chicago, Ill., and Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin facilities.
Jelly Belly makes many varieties of jelly beans, including Juicy Pear, Watermelon, A&W Root Beer, Very Cherry and Buttered Popcorn. The jelly beans were most famously endorsed by U.S. President Ronald Reagan, who kept a jar of them on his desk in the White House and on Air Force One, and who also made them the first jelly beans in outer space, sending them on the 1983 Challenger shuttle as a surprise for the astronauts. The Jelly Belly Factory is in my town and it is one of the most favorite places to visit in Fairfield California. If you come to Fairfield CA, make sure you visit the Jelly Belly Factory, you'll be happy you did.

About Me
- Reggie Hollie
- I'm very friendly and I love people. I work well with or without people, whether I'm working with one person, or a large group. I'm online to do a few specific things; socialize, develop relationships that lead to friendship, and earn a more decent living. I love the out-doors; camping fishing, and exploring. I'm a family man with wife and three children along with three others who I claim as mine. I enjoy life and I love to see smiles on the faces of people.
