The Middle Colonies were known as the 'bread basket' of the colonies because of the rich soil which allowed them to farm. Families planted crops such as maize, wheat, rye, potatoes, peas, and flax. Flax was used to make cloth; corn was one of the main foods eaten in the colonies.
Agriculture was not the only profitable way to make a living. The Middle Colonies were full of fish, oysters and lobsters, so fishing was also profitable as was shipbuilding. Many were engaged in the fur trade and still more in foreign commerce, while the iron industry had its beginning early in the eighteenth century.
One of the chief exports of the Middle Colonies was its grain exports to Europe.
Farming, fishing, shipbuilding, as well as cottage industries such as weaving, shoe making, cabinetmaking and other crafts were all important occupations in the Middle Colonies.
Commerce was the most profitable!
