At Moccasin, Hannah Elizabeth Heaton Roundy remembered a farm centered on corn, squash, livestock, poultry, fruit, and cane, with a big stockyard by the barn where corn was shucked. Corn and squash fed horses, cattle, and pigs through the winter, while turkeys and geese were raised and geese were picked twice each summer for down for pillows. Chicken feathers and corn shucks were used in mattresses or bed ticks. The farm also grew melons, peaches, grapes, and cane, and Roundy recalled stripping and topping the cane for molasses making, feeding it into the mill, and stirring the juice in big vats as it cooked. Good skimmings were made into candy and poured into big wooden boxes, where a hammer and chisel were kept to break off pieces to eat. When the molasses reached the right state, well-washed peaches, peeling and all, were added to some of it to make peach preserves, which were stored in 20 gallon barrels with a small hole and fitted lid for use. Big barrels of molasses were kept in a shed, and people came from all over the country to buy the molasses and peach preserves.
