10. Farming in the Colonies Farming in the colonial days was very different from region to region. Unlike today, the colonists did not have large machines to help them farm. They relied on manpower and the help of animals. In the New England Colonies, the colonists relied on the ocean to supply them with their food. With poor soil and bad winters, the main food the New Englanders contributed to the economy was fish.

11. More on Farming Farming was the most successful in the Middle Colonies. This area was often called the “breadbasket” because they grew so much food. They were known for their wheat, barley, oats, rye, and corn. They could make flour and use the wheat they had grown to sell to other colonies or even Europe. Finally, in the Southern Colonies the most popular crop was tobacco. This was passed down from the Jamestown colonists leaving behind tobacco farms all over Virginia and North Carolina.

13. The Common The American colonists had parks in their communities, but not playgrounds like we think of today. The common was short for “common area,” a large area in the center of a village or town where people would gather before and after meetings. A meetinghouse was usually in the common. New Englanders let their cattle graze in the common.

14. “Common Area” Villages and towns in the Middle and Southern colonies had common areas as well. Here, children played, tutors instructed students, and families gathered to discuss the news of the day. As is the case today with parks, colonial common areas provided an opportunity for people to gather in a safe place.
