 0 Farming was the main way of life for most people in medieval Europe, around 500 to 1500 AD. 
Families lived on small farms, growing crops and raising animals for food. Life was difficult, with long 
hours of work and harsh weather conditions.
 Most farm families lived in simple one-room houses made of wood and thatch (a straw roofing 
material). Furniture was scarce, and people slept on straw mattresses on the floor. Food was plain and 
often scarce. People mainly ate bread, vegetables, and occasionally some meat.
 Children helped with chores from a young age. Boys learned to plow fields, plant seeds, and 
care for animals. Girls helped with cooking, cleaning, and tending to the vegetable garden. Education 
was not common for farmers. Most people could not read or write.
 Despite the hardships, there were also moments of leisure. Feasts were held on special 
occasions, and people enjoyed games, music, and storytelling. Religion played a central role in people’s 
lives. Most people attended church regularly and believed strongly in God.
