Diversity and seed security important to Gaia Organic Seeds

Apr 06, 2023

Gaia Organics’ vision “is to serve Canadian organic farmers by providing a diversity of Canadian organically grown seeds and to build an interconnected network among farmers.

We honour and respect the complex interdependence that has always existed between seeds, soil microorganisms, pollinating insects, other animals, and ourselves to sustain the cycle of life.

Our passion lies in sustaining biodiversity in the plants we consume.”

Gaia Organic Seeds believes that whether you are a small gardener or are an organic farmer, we can all work together to contribute to the diversity and security of our food for the future.

Video: What is Anhydrous Ammonia and Why Do We Use It?

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. Our part-time employee, Brock, also helps with the filming. 1980 was our first year in Waldron where our main farm is now. 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.
