A serf was a peasant, but not all peasants were serfs.A peasant is usually a farmer. A peasant could be free or not, and though most were doubtless poor, we find references to well-to-do or prosperous peasants. Serfs are peasants legally bound to a lord's land, and were not allowed to move away. Serfs usually had to provide labor in exchange for a place to live and work.
The peasants give food & land to the lords.

Feudal estates were farmed by peasants. For much of the Middle Ages, the peasants were serfs, which meant that they were bound to the estates and not allowed to move away. There were some places where a lot of them were slaves. There were also places were they were mostly free peasants who were tenants on the estates.
The three estates are: Church Nobility peasants and finally if you want to count them serfs.
