View of Fanny Farmer Candies at Forbes and Wood Street. Fannie Merrit Farmer opened her cooking school, Miss Farmer's School of Cookery, in Boston, Massachusetts. Farmer was the leading cooking authority of her day. Known as the 'Mother of Measurements', she revolutionized food preparation throughout the world with her introduction of precise measurements -- the level teaspoon, tablespoon, cup, etc. In 1919, candy maker Frank O'Connor paid Fannie the ultimate compliment by naming his now famous company, Fanny Farmer Candy Shops, after her.
