5 Years of Building a Farm (TIMELAPSE)

[@acedepth]

I wanna speak on behalf of 99% of your fanbase and i want you to know that you should keep doing sponsors since it helps you and as viewers we dont mind at all

[@GoldShawFarm]

Thank you!

[@Juxtaposedjoker]

Here here. Butcherbox gave me the best steaks of my life. I wanna try that cereal next. I trust you.

[@raccoontrashpanda1467]

Though putting an ad mid video like that does really disrupt the flow.

[@donnaml8776]

I agree. People trust you and for that they trust the products that you mention. So yes, no problem with having sponsors in your videos. You handled that well!

[@crhampso]

@@Juxtaposedjoker I sent some to my parents and they love it!

[@britnygray5585]

As someone who grew up on a farm, I can't imagine the courage it take to show up with nothing but some self-learned skills and perseverance. This is the future of agriculture should be: people who want to be there, not expected to inherent it. You guys are heroes.

[@rickmeisch472]

I'm a farmer and I appreciate how you think and operate, your a farmer way more so than some of the other silly beans that have video channels, keep up the good work.

[@jackson8753]

Can we just appreciate how smoothly he transitioned to his sponsor. 👏👏👏

[@cosmicchuck9743]

What? There was a sponsor

[@ph3nology]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@mlaperle]

I had no idea it was coming

[@lizzymandile2022]

It was perfect

[@franzbigT]

that's the difference between a sponsor you actually use yourself and a random app add.

[@carldavid7991]

This video is really inspiring and it makes me happy🤗

[@chuly740]

Thank you for this video! My wife and I decided to move to the country 2 years ago and bought 22 acres. I never grew up farming or raising livestock but started to have a passion for having land that was our own. It has been an amazing journey getting our garden, orchard and now raising chickens going. It has been an adventure and watching videos like this just keep encouraging us to do more!! God bless!!

[@fhade6877]

I'm so proud of him, not only did he manage to build up from nothing he also took care of his body. That weight loss was insane.

[@SadisticSenpai61]

When you go from sitting on your ass all day to walking long distances every day and doing heavy labor? You lose weight. Hel, just going from being on my feet all day as a cashier to having an office job had a huge impact on my body. I gained 15 pounds from that. In that same period, I also started eating healthier. So its weird how things like that can have a huge impact on your body.

[@Alturvexs]

Notice he ALWAYS wears baggy cloths, he has not lost much weight.

[@ObsidianKing]

He's still fat.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

@@Alturvexs I don't know of ANY farmers that wear tight clothes. You need range of motion.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

@@ObsidianKing He's perfectly healthy, is what he is. Hollywood standards of body weight can go get bent.

So proud of you, Morgan & Allison, Lil, Pablo, Mr. Toby and the gang of "Feather's".

[@lynnlpickering9076]

I love "gang of feathers"

[@annesweeney5552]

I second or 3rd this awesome

[@brendajolley4808]

I too am a town girl, but love watching your videos, although growing up we were made to experience farm like activity, as my father was an advocate of rural life. We had turkeys, chickens etc. We did our own eggs for a time. Later in life this inspired my sister to have chickens and sell her eggs. They actually lived in the country. I find your channel refreshing and isn't life in general a process of constantly learning and sharing that with others? Keep up the good work you guys!

[@lillithdv8]

I feel so proud of what you’ve accomplished. I’m just a viewer on youtube but I’m amazed by the dedication and resourcefulness you’ve shown. Bravo

[@smokingyellowPLANE]

I found you recommended to me last year and ever since the very first video I watched, you are one of my favourites youtubers. Honest, gentle, caring with a big heart. And the fact you talk open about making mistakes, having bad days and not having the things go as planned, besides all the good that happens, makes me appreciate you as a person, a youtuber and a farmer. So, I'll keep on watching, and maybe someday, I can have something similar for myself (and family).

[@gd2234_]

I LOVE this! I’m graduating college in a day, and hopefully once I get a job I can then buy my own farm. Good job Morgan and Allison, you’ve done so much to help your local ecosystem:)

[@TheKayo530]

You are such a good storyteller. You just had me in tears especially when I saw Allison holding the little duckling. I love watching your channel it’s so heartfelt and reassuring.

[@lynnlpickering9076]

If anyone has not watched Morgan's in 2019 and 2020, you really need to do so. I still am in awe of Morgan's commitment to his poultry. After the ducks were added, 365 days ago year, he carried and pulled food and water from the house and barn to his animals. You really should see Morgan dragging through the snow a red plastic sled with buckets of water. That is when I knew he was a true farmer was was following correct animal husbandry. My grandfather,born in 1887, was a sucessful and responsible dairy farmer for 80+ years so I know farming. Morgan, it made me so happy to watch you care for your farm every day. You are not becoming a farmer, you ARE a farmer!

[@teo_crafter25]

What a wonderful journey, thanks for letting us join you, I look forward seeing You and Allison continue this amazing journey.

[@mounis]

I'm sure this video is gonna blow up and hit the KZbin algorithm hard.

[@ellietobe]

Why? It’s not like this is an actual farm. He has invested a lot of money in the place but it still is not an actual working farm. He can’t even give his dog a dog house but he is only a dog. His “pond” is a mud hole that the birds swim in. Why would anyone buy an old broken down dairy farm to raise water fowl on? He talks like he has just achieved a victory when all he has is a field of birds and some young trees that he will never see grow anything. I sincerely hope he is enjoying himself because his livestock is severely challenged. He has to feed them GMO grain to keep them alive. That is not an environmentally healthy system. People who want to eat healthy are looking for grass fed meat not more GMO crap or livestock raised under the same kind of filthy conditions that the big corporate farms have. These birds may be outside but they are consuming crap most of the time. You are what you eat. Learning how to farm off of KZbin videos is not the way to have a successful venture. Believe it or not most of these city farmers go out of business sometime during the first 7 years. If their own ignorance does not trip them up the corporate competition will push them out. Sad but true. Learn from the people who have succeeded, not from others who are feeling their way through at the same time.

[@theIAMofME]

@@ellietobe WOW! At first I thought you were just a negative person. But, by the end of your spill it is so full of jealousy and self righteousness that I had to laugh. I hope you have better days to come. Just go try and be happy...about something. Anything.

[@Christommyfmx]

Your farm has been warming my girlfriend up to the idea of raising animals on a farm one day! Thank you for your passion!

[@mr_chocomec]

I don't know how I ended watching your videos. I'm a french Canadian who watch video games, electronic and computer stuff on KZbin. A few months ago I had this recommandation about that Gold Shaw Farm, and I don't know why I clicked on it, and another, and another...They are so nice to watch. Thank you so much for the time and efforts that you put on KZbin videos.

WAIT A MINUTE at 3:13 there was a white metal goat in the back of that van! It looks exactly the same as mine who's name is Apple!! I begged my mom to spend $20 on him for me at a livestock show when I was like 10. Now I'm turning 17 in a couple months and I've still got Apple, it's so cool to see his twin in a goldshaw farm video!

[@fedupnow61859]

I really love your style in making videos. You show the good and the bad and you and your wife are an inspiration because of your truthfulness and how humble you are.

[@Danda0nline]

While I only started watching you for a little over a year, its been such a delight to see your farm and family grow so much. You really worked so hard and bring so much passion to your work, I really enjoy watching your day to day life. Thanks for bringing us along, I look forward to seeing your farm get even better!

[@KPSEnterprise]

Morgan: this is an awesomely told condensed version of the history of your farm. I love the way you tell your story, not being afraid to admit your mistakes and learn to do better next time. You don’t give up, and I admire that. I only started watching a few months ago and went back a little ways to watch, but not the whole thing. Keep up the terrific job you’re doing all around. I look forward to each new video coming out.

The evolution of Gold Shaw farm mirrors our development. Thank you for showing the rest of us struggling, learning, growing, & learning as we move forward that not only that it can be done but that there is value in the journey.

[@Saul1337Ftw]

It's great what you got now, you can be really proud of yourself. I must say, it's kind of funny watching your channel at times. You're obviously not familiar with many things and still have more of a ''city'' sense and look on things, but I like that about you. You're not born into the farming world and holding the torch where your family left it for you, you're starting from zero and building up. From hiring someone to build your Ikea furniture to building your very own coop. I think you're doing great and have great values for how you are farming and raising your animals. Keep it up.

[@theIAMofME]

I love watching your videos. It's not just all the animals, the beautiful farm...It's that you tell a magnificent, truthful and humble story. I love life being shared with me like a really good book. You have your own little paradise going there just as you created it. And it is totally inspiring that you had no farm experience whatsoever before you began your journey.

[@regeneramallorca99]

"I know that the work is never going to be done, and in some ways that is overwhelming, but in other ways that concept is completely liberating" -- I just started myself a massive project similar to yours with no prior farming experience... and that way of seeing the overwhelming work and never ending problems as something "completely liberating" feels just like my new motto. Wish you the best!

That has to be very liberating as you said in your video. It is quite remarkable what you and your wife have accomplished so far. As you continue to grow and build and dream I think it will be comforting to know that the farm vision will never end but will be a continued source of inspiration!

But this video gave me a little nudge to take a breath and look over what I've achieved and not just what remains undone.
