To convert the height from meters to centimeters, you can use the conversion factor that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters.

Given the height of the farmhouse:

\[ 2.307 \times 10^8 \text{ meters} \]

To convert to centimeters, multiply by 100:

\[ 2.307 \times 10^8 \text{ meters} \times 100 \text{ cm/m} = 2.307 \times 10^8 \times 10^2 \text{ cm} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 2.307 \times 10^{10} \text{ centimeters} \]

Therefore, the height of Ali's farmhouse in centimeters is:

\[ \boxed{2.307 \times 10^{10}} \]
