What kind of businesses were there in Jamestown?

In Jamestown, Virginia, the first permanent English settlement in America, businesses primarily revolved around agriculture and trade. Colonists cultivated tobacco as a cash crop, which became the economic backbone of the colony. Additionally, there were small-scale enterprises such as blacksmithing, carpentry, and fishing, as well as trade with Native Americans for goods. The focus on tobacco farming ultimately led to the establishment of plantations and the use of enslaved labor.
