Who says Product Development never gets out??

In celebration of Jenna the Intern’s completion of her 3-month stint with Speck, the Product Development department escaped from their loft-like laboratory, venturing out to take the World Famous Factory Tour at the Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield, CA.

Bidding adieu to Jenna was already bittersweet, but added to the aroma of pineapple, apricot, and other flavors being transformed into sugary Jelly Belly goodness, it proved to be an extra-sensory experience. And, of course, an interesting education on how this delicious little product is manufactured.

To top off this tasteful afternoon, the group lunched at the Jelly Belly Cafe, where they enjoyed Jelly Belly-shaped hotdogs and smily-face shaped fries.

Many thanks and good luck to Jenna, (third from right) who is returning to the University of Cincinnati to complete her degree in Industrial Design!
