The customary services required of land-holding peasants varied in detail from manor to manor - they were dictated by the individual knight or other landlord. A typical example comes from the "Glastonbury Customal":

"John Pese of Lympsham held a virgate of land for xxx pence in money and work on the lord's demesne, from Michaelmas to Martinmas to plough one acre for winter corn and half an acre for spring corn, and to harrow every Monday in the year one hand-work, except on Holy Days. Also plough another acre whenever called upon. To carry loads three times to Glastonbury, to mow and carry three times. If he preferred to work instead of paying xxx pence, then he must plough one acre every week, harrow half an acre every Monday, at harvest cut half an acre every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Also to provide a pack-horse whenever called upon, plus pay a penny on hock-day, and five pennies land-tax at Michaelmas."

What is a medieval freeman?

1st AnswerA medieval freeman was a person that was given some land in return for services to the king. A freeman had fifteen strips of land in each field but in return he had to work to pay for it, help with the ploughing at harvest and help give out duties to Peasants. A freeman could leave the site without permission of the manor lord and could marry anyone, even from a different manor. Another answer:A freeman was a peasant farmer who was not bound by the manorial obligations that serfs had. He rented his land as what was called a copyholder, meaning that he had a lease. While he did not have the serf's obligations, he also did not have the serf's rights, and could be put off his farm when his lease expired. There is a link below to the section of an article on serfs dealing with freemen.
