The Anglo-Saxons farmed using an open field system. One family typically had three fields, one of which was left fallow every year. Oxen and horses were yolked to plows then tilled the soil to make it suitable for cultivation.

The Anglo-Saxons grew oatmeal, barley, and rye. These were used for baking bread and brewing. Mead was a popular beverage made of fermented honey, berries, and herbs. Wine was imported from Rome; they also drank milk and water.

Wild cabbage was a staple food until the Romans brought a variety of new foods that included lettuce, endive, beets, and mallow.
The majority of fruit consumed consisted of soft, wild berries. Peaches, apricots, and sweet apples were later introduced by the Romans.

Sheep
Being an island nation, fish were easily accessible making them highly popular.
The Anglo-Saxons ate lamb and mutton.
Cows were essential to Anglo-Saxon life. Not only were they a source of protein, they produced milk which could be made into cheese, and butter.
The purpose of hens was to produce eggs; they were butchered when they no longer did such.
Anglo-Saxons were taught to fatten pigs so that they would yield larger amounts of lard and meat when butchered.
Goats were used as a source of meat; their milk was also used for producing goat cheese and butter.
