This is not the first time that Vela Farms has won a big award. If you remember back in 2014, Vela Farms jelly was entered into H.E.B's prestigious Quest for Texas Best 2014.  Out of 650 entries across the state of Texas, Vela Farms won 3rdplace and was awarded $10,000! Vela Farms quickly became so much more than jelly!
