Sep 19, 2025

The Center for Horticultural Innovation, a leader in horticultural research and development, has announced a complete rebrand with the new name, Biophi, to reflect the organization's evolution and growing role within the controlled environment agriculture (CEA) industry.

Biophi’s new identity is centered on the idea of “Growing Possibilities” inspiring future-forward solutions that benefit growers, suppliers, and the industry as a whole. The new identity captures Biophi’s role as a forward-looking partner for the horticultural industry—analytical yet hands-on, pragmatic yet creative—reflecting its commitment to getting real-world solutions to market faster.

Founded in 2020, Biophi is a horticultural innovation hub based in Leamington, Ontario dedicated to advancing research and development in controlled environment agriculture (CEA). With its applied research and industry-led collaborations, Biophi positions itself as the go-to partner for growers and suppliers alike—bridging research and application to transform challenges into scalable solutions.

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!
