jiffy mix company

Signed up for a Jiffy tour while waiting for our matinee at the Purple Rose Theater. Learned many things I didn't know. Tour didn't drag on - just the right amount of time. The guides seemed to love their jobs. I should have come more prepared to buy Jiffy products- they were offered at a reduced cost. If you are in the area, I would recommend making reservations. We made ours just one day in advance without any problem.

Having moved to the MI area, it was exciting to check out this factory, having used Jiffy products in the past. The tour is free, and they said they would run tours, even with a group size of 1 person, just make sure to have reservations. The tour of the factory was super fast, maybe 5+ mins, but not sure if we walked through it fast due to majority of our group was combined with college students that needed to get back to class. It was still neat to see the boxes whizzing by. The first video was informative, quite corny (haha no pun intended), but likely due to helping keep children engaged throughout it. It was quite surprising that after that, the CEO actually came out and answered any of our questions (not sure if this was related to the group of college students in the group, if they were here for a class or something). He loved to talk business, and gave lengthy answers, and sounds like he really values his staff. I only wish they actually told us more about the things for sale, versus telling us if we wanted to purchase anything, come to the side. Having walked past it briefly, I had thought it was mostly souvenirs like hats and totebags. If they had announced one of the things was a variety box of all their mixes, I would have loved to purchase that, as many of their other mixes I've never seen in grocery stores before.

This tour takes about an hour, half of that is a movie, the other half is walking through part of the plant. They do offer samples of their products and bottled water before the movie. The movie is informative, but I enjoyed the plant tour much more. You also have the opportunity to purchase Jiffy mixes from the source. (Not sure how much of a discount it really is.)Be sure to make reservations. Parking is plentiful and free.

Free! But you must call ahead to reserve a spot on the tour. Cool to see part of the factory. Didn't realize how much corn mix jiffy makes. Best time of year to visit is during baking season (fall through Christmas) when most of the lines are running.Free samples and a goodie bag to take home with you.

Jiffy Mix offers several daily tours free of charge. They start with a sampling of one of their selected products and a short film that gives some of the history of their operations. Visitors are then guided on a tour through different parts of the factory. I was hoping to see some of the mixes being made as they were shown on the video, but the majority of the tour is the packaging part of the plant- which was still really fun to watch. There are overhead conveyor belts and processes going on all around, so you are in constant motion to see everything going on. Boxes are made, filled with mixes, sealed, sent around the warehouse, put in cartons for shipping, and then sent on their way again. At the end, you get a free goodie bag with sample mixes, and you also have the opportunity to purchase a variety of Jiffy mixes and other souvenir items. Corny the Jiffy Mix box is out front by the main entrance for the perfect photo-op.

This is a should see when in Chelsea, Michigan. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and full of information. We got to see the making of "Jiffy Mixes" from start to finish and came away with many good memories. It was rather nostalgic for me as I had a small business where on promotional sales, the "Jiffy Corn Muffins" were featured often and I had no realization that these were made in Michigan!

This was a very nice tour that started with samples of muffins served with coffee, tea or water. Yum. Then there was a little movie about the history of Jiffy which was interesting and cute. We were then given the option of shopping in their little store area...no high pressure or guilt sales, the tour guide was really friendly. There was a really quick video on safety for the tour, and off we went through a portion of the factory. We enjoyed seeing all the aspects of the process, making the boxes, filing them and packing them up. The thank you bags at the end were great! And its free! Call ahead to reserve a spot, they do get school kids in there sometimes. We were only in the area one day and were able to get in the same day we called. From start to end this took about an hour total, but timing would depend on the size of your tour group.

Thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Jiffy! The CEO stopped in and spoke with our group. Wow....what a guy! Would love to work for him. Very informative tour....knowledge, fun guide.....fun for each to bring home 2 boxes of Jiffy too!

My wife loves this Jiffy corn mix so we decided to stop on our cross country trip. This is a trip in itself. There is a movie discussing the company a muffin taste with water, juice or coffee and then a short tour through the factory. They do hawk some items including the mixes but they are a pretty good deal, 24 mixes in the box for $12. They also sell tee shirts. At the end you get a recipe book and two packs of blueberry mix.Really just a nice day with friendly Jiffy staff and free to boot.

Our group really enjoyed the Jiffy tour. The short film was entertaining and informative. Products were available for purchase. Tour box was 24 mixes for $12 including cookbook. Fudge brownie was the flavor of the month so we all received a baked sample and box mix. The tour was through the packing area of the factory. The employees are very informative and friendly. Oh, and the tour is free.

The tour included a variety of interesting aspects, including video, cake and coffee, touring the plant and goodies-to-go. Handicapped accessible and you won't spend the whole hour on your feet. Fully enjoyable and free.

gotta love a company that does things for their employees. and puts out a product that reminds me of home. Now there are different types of Jiffy Mix. Who doesn't love a muffin or a biscuit?

We generally like tours and often try to make them a part of our trips. It is nice that Jiffy Mix is still doing tours. Nice that it is made in USA. Even though I don't make my own muffins, it was still fun to watch and learn.Tour was informative. People were pleasant. It would be nice if they would use real blueberries instead of artificial colors. But it's why you take the tour - to learn things. And it's made in USA, which you don't see too often anymore, unfortunately.

Not many companies still offer tours like this. Kudos to Jiffy for still doing this! From a movie to samples to an actual factory tour, it was a fascinating peek into how the Jiffy Corporation operates. Not only did my children and myself enjoy it but my parents who reside close by did as well. I would highly recommend it!

The tour guides are a lot of fun and very informative. We had fun learning about Jiffy mixes and the company. This tour is only an hour and it's free. It's a good tour for adults and kids. When the tour is over they give you a sample of the 1 1/2 million boxes of Jiffy mix they produce everyday. Hey it's free, it's fun and worth it. Also don't miss the great restaurants and the quaint town of Chelsea.
