No, the New England colonies did not primarily grow tobacco, rice, or indigo. These cash crops were more commonly associated with the Southern colonies, where the climate and soil conditions were more suitable for their cultivation. New England's economy was largely based on fishing, shipbuilding, and small-scale farming of crops like corn and wheat.
