I love factory tours like this. I find them to be so interesting. I do buy Jiffy cornbread mix now and then. It's nice to have on hand when you don't have time to make it from scratch. The bunnies are awfully cute. You have some good will power! :) Thanks for sharing with SYC.<br />hugs,<br />JannHave a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446091501170762899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-62156933965108397312016-10-09T15:36:41.548-04:002016-10-09T15:36:41.548-04:00How nice you got to meet a friend and not that far...How nice you got to meet a friend and not that far away from you too.<br />Looks like you enjoyed the JIFFY tour.<br />I always enjoy seeing behind the scenes in factories.<br />Those garden rabbits would have tempted me too :-)<br />oxo<br />~*~Patty Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953758102509632020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-36287331639179701082016-10-08T09:30:19.407-04:002016-10-08T09:30:19.407-04:00This was so interesting.

I still think their cornbread is good. It's not so sweet as some, and it certainly is easy.<br /><br />It's neat that their ingredients are local, too. Now, I not only like their products, I admire the company more, too. It's fun to see some of these products "in context."

I have never toured a factory but I bet it would be really interesting to see how they have automated so much of the process. I love corn muffins/bread but I have to make them from scratch usually as there aren't many GF corn bread mixes. I had no idea that jiffy had things besides their standard corn bread mixes. The banana mix sounds good!<br /><br />The shops you checked out look and sounds so cute!

Then they went up to 3/$1.00. I'd hate to guess what they cost now.<br /><br />I've worked in factories most of my life, so I would have LOVED the tour. What bothers me is since my degree is in Human Factors/Ergonomics, office workers, management, hospital employees, etc. have been studied to the nth degree. But factory and other blue collar workers are often disregarded and no one seems to care that they are the ones who actually keep the lines moving along. Sorry, off my soap box now.<br /><br />The shops you visited were lovely, and I might have to find some pumpkins and create a similar vignette. I really enjoyed the trip to Jiffy and the shops, too.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-32745412089865632002016-10-03T18:20:26.720-04:002016-10-03T18:20:26.720-04:00It's LOVELY, Jeanie!!!!!!

And like you all, we too have some pretty iconic plants and factories that as a child living in L.A. and as a young student living in Boston was well aware of the products that CAME FROM HERE. Like you, just up about 5 miles, is the General Mills plant. Do you know that some mornings, I can smell OATMEAL in the air? Does that ever remind me of school mornings....then there's Pillsbury and Gold Medal near the bridge over the Mississippi....<br /><br />Lovely share.

Over the years, I have made many quick adds for soup or stew by whipping up one of those little mixes. I love them. I love the cornbread one the best. Sometimes I think I should make something from scratch, but I never do if I have one of those quick Jiffy boxes in the pantry.
