Food Factory Tour Tips:

1. Always call ahead to inquire about hours of operation. Some factories have different operating hours around holidays.

2. Wear comfortable shoes.

3. Inquire about the stroller policy—some tours don’t allow double
strollers due to narrow hallways.

4. Also inquire about camera policy. Some tours allow pictures taken at
certain points on the tour, and others prohibit them completely.

5. If you aren’t able to make it to a factory tour, many factories offer virtual tours on their websites.
