When American colonists dreamed of their ideal land, they were probably dreaming of the middle colonies: Pennsylvania, Delaware, New
York, and New Jersey. In these four colonies there were long, navigable rivers and rich soils. The sun was bright, the temperature
moderate, the growing season long. The typical farm in the middle colonies was 200 acres, of which, perhaps one-half was cleared and
planted. The farmers grew vegetables and fruit, but their major crop was grain: wheat, barley, oats, rye, and corn. Even with the poor
tools and the wasteful techniques of colonial agriculture, Pennsylvania farmers could produce a surplus. Thus the middle-colony farmers
were not just self-sufficient; they were commercial farmers. Their colonies were nicknamed the "bread colonies" because of all the grain
they sold each year to other English colonies and to Europe.
