Other crops were oats, corn, barley, and tobacco. The farmers also had vegetable gardens and fruit trees. The livestock included pigs, cattle, horses, sheep, goats, and poultry.

The farmers stored what they grew in the fields and gathered in the forest (berries, wild vegetables) in the cellar. This food would be eaten during the winter. Farmers also hunted to supply their families with meat. During the winter the frozen meat was also stored in the cellar.

Answer 2

In New France, people primarily grew crops such as wheat, corn, barley, and oats for sustenance. These staple crops were essential for the survival of the settlers in the region. Additionally, other crops like peas, beans, and vegetables were also cultivated to supplement their diets and provide essential nutrients. The agricultural practices in New France were influenced by the climate and soil conditions of the region, leading to a focus on crops that were well-suited to the environment.
