Pea
Factory a.k.a. Mrs. Pea 1990 jennifer parker
The
pea factory, also known as Mrs. Pea, was developed by Ed Johnson, a Wisconsin
farmer, in 1923. Mr. Johnson kept Mrs. Pea in the cellar so that none
of his competitors would fnid out about her. It wasn't until 1969, when
Mr. Johnson died and his farm was sold that his secret became known. It
is estimated that the Pea Factory produced over 20 billion peas during
its 45 years on Mr. Johnson's farm. |
