The Lenape people of New Jersey primarily cultivated a variety of crops known as the "Three Sisters," which included corn, beans, and squash. They also grew other vegetables such as pumpkins and sunflowers, as well as fruits like berries. Additionally, they gathered wild plants and nuts, supplementing their diet with fish and game from the surrounding environment. The Lenape's agricultural practices were closely tied to their seasonal cycles and Natural Resources.
