Oct 19, 2022

Agriculture in the Classroom Manitoba (AITC-M) has found its new leader.

New Executive Director Katharine Cherewyk has served as AITC-M’s Operations and Development Manager since 2018. She has roughly 20 years of experience in communications, fundraising, strategic planning, partnership-building, and project management.

AITC-M board chair Laura Holtman said Cherewyk is a strategic leader who understands the critical role education plays in connecting students with the food they eat and the people who produce it.

“Her talent for visionary thinking and relationship-building have helped AITC-M increase its reach in more geographical locations than ever before. We’re very excited about what the future holds,” Cherewyk said.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
