The economy was somewhat based on farming. Pennsylvania exported flour and grain. They also were known for the textile industry, sawmills, and gristmills.

In the region, there was a huge forest stretching from Delaware to Ohio and underneath it was rich soil so the lumbering industry was big because they had to cut down trees to make farms. So then they would sell the extra wood to other colonies or ship it to England.
