The most important crop was wheat. Wheat was used to make flour. The farmers ground the wheat grains in the seigneur's flour mill. They would pay the seigneur with part of the flour for the use of his mill. Wind Mill Water Mill

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.
