According to the folks at the local Farmer's Market a bushel of shelled peas is 10lbs or should I say that's what they sell it as.

And that is correct. I worked at wholesale Farmersmarket for 30 yrs. We sold bushels shelled weighing 9-10 pounds after we picked bad peas out.

How many quarts of peas makes a bushel?

37.27 quarts Given that 37.27 quarts does indeed make a bushel of peas, there is another point of view that needs to be considered. If you are purchasing peas directly from a farmer, you normally buy them unshelled. A bushel of unshelled peas will not give you 37.27 quarts after you shell them, far from it. Normally you can expect only about a gallon of peas (4 quarts) after shelling a bushel of peas. If however the farmer is generous, you might actually get 5 to 6 quarts. This is what is called a 'round' bushel. That is, heaped until peas fall out of a bushel basket.

Is a bushel a weight measurement or a size measurement?

A bit of both. It used to be a volume measurment, but today its used as a weight measurment of 56 lb. The above answer is absolutely wrong. I own thousands of acres of fruit in the Indian River Fruit area and the domain name indianriverfruit.com so i should know. a 1/4 bushel of fruit as are all peck and bushel measurements is a volume thing. a 1/4 bushel of fruit will weigh 10 to 11 pounds a 1/2 bushel 20- 22 pounds a 3/4 bushel is 30 to 33 pounds and a bushel is approx 40 to 44 pounds. take a bushel basket of oranges and weigh them and you will find I am right! Hope this helps! Depends on what you are measuring or weighing---ie bushel of shelled corn is 56 lbs. bushel of southern peas is 25 lbs etc.---my 2cents.
