Ahead of Her Time: In 1868, Ellen G. Kidd started making pickles in her family's Richmond home kitchen. She was just 16 years old. After many blue ribbons from the state fair and what she described as "pin money" collected from selling her pickles to friends and neighbors, she defied the conventional wisdom of the day about women in commerce by founding Pin Money Pickles in 1873. She would go on to gain contracts with the Pullman Railroad Company, see her pickles served in the White House, and ship her products internationally. In 1910, she built a five story factory that could produce 1,000 barrels per day. Her sons were her assistants. In 1925 she sold the business, but pickles using her recipe continued to be turned out until 1950. The site of her plant is now a parking lot on West Marshall Street in Richmond.
The Pin-Money-Pickle-Factory was owned by Mrs. Ellen G. Kidd of Richmond, Virginia, 1888-1898 at 619 N. 6th St. 1899-1909 at 706 E. Leigh St. 1911-1916 at 1500 W. Marshall St, . continued at this place until 1941
