Any local (i.e. Mid-Atlantic) cookbook from the era would give one an
excellent idea of what was readily available in the period.  As well,
any diarist worth his/her salt -- as it were -- would most likely have
recorded crops, yields, and the like.  I'd also look at Ed Ayers et als'
"Valley of the Shadow" online project for information and sources.

Happy Hunting.  Jim Watkinson
