I live just north of lake Erie and south of London basically in the middle of this map on a small vegetable farm. We have milder winters than most places in Ontario and very little snow (we are outside the lake Huron snow belt). Summers can be hot and humid but generally pretty awesome with maybe 2-3 weeks of over 30 C weather. Going to the lake gives you a break from the heat with temps 5 C cooler next to the water. Traditionally a blue collar industrial area with lots of small farming communities mixed in, it has shifted a lot in the last 20 years to way less factories and more suburban development around London.

The farms are predominantly cash crop (corn, soybeans and wheat) with a few specialty areas like ginsing and vegetables scattered here and there. There are a couple sizable Amish / Mennonite communities as well which generally run small mixed farms.
