Middleton Place Plantation remains in many ways a working farm, containing horses, cows, sheep, goats, pigs, and other farm animals. The work once done by slaves is now performed by skilled (and usually white) re-enactors, including a carpenter, potter, blacksmith and cooper. They perform these tasks for basic repairs around the plantation, and as demonstrations for the hordes of visitors who tour Middleton each year.
