The mother would pack a basket of food for the ride and the kids would sit in the back of the wagon alongside the chickens, cream, eggs, and pelts to be traded. Basic staples such as flour, salt, and coffee were the main items that were purchased.With the autumn harvest apples, corn, pears, pumpkins could be bought and made into cider, bread, pies, jams or jelly.
