Farming in Central Algoma

Farming began in the area in the 1870's as the mining industry waned.  Over the years as the mines closed in 1944 and logging has declined, farming has played a significant role in local economy, along with aggregate extraction and tourism.  There are currently about 45 farms operating in the area, along with a number of hobby farms.

The climate for Central Algoma reflects that of northern Ontario but with the lake effect of Lake Huron creating a slower onset of winter and of summer than farther away from the Lake.  The mean annual growing season is 183 days while the mean annual frost-free period is 112 days.  Click on the links for climate patterns (monthly average high and low temperatures, precipitation, hours of sun and wind speed) throughout the year and current weather.
