Other than being edible, their also produced in and distributed from Jacksonville in some level of capacity. Here's the story behind ten sites where this takes place.
10. Dupuy Silo Facility LLC 
Dupuy first began in 1936, with John Dupuy. A bit different from the company we know it as today; Dupuy began as a single coffee warehouse in New Orleans. Dupuy remains based in New Orleans, but also have operations in Jacksonville, Houston, and Miami. The company is currently run by Allan Colley, the grandson of the original founder. Customers import beans from all over the world, and bring them to Dupuy, who blends the beans, and/or, stores them.
In Jacksonville, Dupuy purchased and renovated the former Kraft Foods North America Inc. warehouse in the Edgewood Industrial Park in 2005. Home to a 152-foot silo, the Dupuy facility blends raw, green coffee beans to Maxwell House specifications, shuttling them by truck to the Jacksonville factory and by train to a coffee roasting factory in Houston.
The Dupuy Group provides over 1.5 million square feet of facility space among their plants. Their Jacksonville plant is located at 1520 Edgewood Ave. N.
