They are similar but peasants are free and owe the land they work. Another difference is that serfs didn't have the same rights as peasants did, serfs had less. They had to pay allegiance to the lord of the area. A serf on the other hand did not pay their "dues" so they are forced to stay on the land, but owed allegiance to the lord of the manor, as an agricultural worker.

What is the difference between a peasant and a serf?

A slave was owned by his master. He had no wages, no freedom and was bound to serve him for life. A serf was tied to the land held by his lord. He could farm but he could not share in the profits and could never leave his lord for a new one. A peasant would farm for his lord and did share to some extend in the profit but he could also sell his labour or anything like vegetables he grew aside from what he grew for his lord. He had a better chance of actually becoming more than what he was than either a slave or a serf.
