About Gold Shaw Farm: Gold Shaw Farm is more of a farm-in-progress than an honest-to-goodness farm. We dream that someday we can transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.

Pray for the Farmers!!!! 2023 and on and on!!!

[@accordionchick]

Happy new year everyone! ❤❤❤❤❤NO FEAR IN 2023. Let NO ONE Steal your joy!!!!!!

[@kathleendodds5309]

The only people who don’t fail are people who do nothing. Failure is a part of living and growing. If your first hoop coop hadn’t failed you wouldn’t have the fantastic one you have now. I love watching you and your farm grow (warts and all🤣) May you continue to grow and prosper in the new year. Thanks for sharing it all with us!

[@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648]

And then they fail to do anything... so it's not an escape, lol.

[@Oldjohn52]

Re. "Perfect" Perfection is an ideal and thus is unattainable. Pursuing it is fruitless. Resolve to do the best you can, with what you have, to accomplish the task. That is literally all you can do. Keep up the good work, you are a success.

[@barbarathomas4747]

This is not just showing how a farm evolves, but a FREE counseling session 😄 to boot!! Thanks, I need all I can get.

[@phnxnn8120]

Nothing is failure. Everything is in learning progress.

[@lindag4484]

Your successes outnumber your failures. You are in that "incredible place". Congratulations and best wishes in 2023!

[@mmegraham]

It's so very good to have been able to share this last year with you, Morgan. Thank you for the generous hospitality.

[@maryannbower9706]

You are doing a great job. You are resilient, imaginity and very entertaining. Good job.

[@laurieconover7243]

Loved your 'quiet moment scene' with the chickens eating and drinking...very sweet and peaceful. 😊

[@kc4941]

We are all a work in progress. Failure is giving up and not learning from our mistakes. Thank you for the encouragement you bring to others in sharing your life at Goldshaw Farm. A year of growth and success!

[@dawnvickerstaff2429]

Well, you had at least one total success! I took the idea of yellow stickies to capture flies and have nearly eliminated all those nasty little flies that inhabit my potting soil. No more 'bargain' soil for me! But if there are still flies, I got this, thanks to you.

[@GoldShawFarm]

Glad to hear it!

It is called; Transcending. Bravo, keep on the good work.

[@lukeknowles5700]

Morgan, I had health issues in 2022, with a dislocated shoulder and an inguinal hernia and surgery, which impacted many of my goals for the year. So please, do look after not only the health of your animals but your own health, too, which will allow you to do everything else in your game plan. It has been very satisfying to watch your progress in building a meaningful farm.

[@GoldShawFarm]

Thank you! I hope you heal up!

[@kristilisakleiner9384]

I hope you feel a lot better and stronger in this new year

[@SusanWojcickiTheBolshevik]

@@GoldShawFarm Take stock from this lesson, some injuries could mean the end of your farm. Take it easy out there bud. Don’t go moving something that’s way too heavy and follow form when it comes to shoveling and heaving things. I’d hate to see you have to go through an MRI, bedridden, all that jazz. Keep it up man. I forgot all about your channel and I’m going to subscribe again. Due to political aggression I’ve had to make new accounts more than once.

[@leonaengelcke2121]

Well said. It's true. It's what you DO with that truth that becomes the difference. Bravo. Happy New 365!

[@TunTavernWarrior2]

@Gold Shaw Farm I just want to express my gratitude for you just being there and being who you are. I love your passion, Morgan. You and my granddaddy would get along like old pals if he were still alive.

[@carolsakai-artist]

Without failures, we don't know what doesn't work. . .by working through our failures and learning from our mistakes we are propelled to even greater heights, and share our humanity with others

[@LLjean-qz7sb]

"There are no failures, only solutions that belong to a different problem!" God Bless and have a Healthy and Blessed New Year!

[@margaretdelam6933]

Huge thanks Morgan. You’re a Daily RX four sanity and enjoyment. Your open honesty is refreshing and contributes to good mental health of your viewers. Thanks for all you do.

[@theothermother70]

You helped alot of people get through hard times, myself included. Your content provides a safe, positive and motivational space for those people having a hard time. Who doesn't love to see you and your adorable critters on top of that. Thanks for not failing us Morgan. 🙏🏻

[@patriciamorrison5372]

The Farm Looks So Beautiful In The Snow ❄️!

[@kimrafferty7170]

Every failure is an opportunity to learn - so a true failure is one you do not learn from. You bring real life to your channel which is why I love your videos because you do show everything. I hope 2023 brings you continued success with your farm and your channel. Wishing you and the lovely Alison a wonderful healthy and happy new year xxxx

[@fabulouspinkmk10]

And you are a good Farmer.....and as many have noticed, good at articulating your thoughts. We live in the day.

[@gaysullivan1942]

Best wishes for prosperous 2023. Thank you for sharing your farm and insight.

[@DipityS]

My goodness - that quiet in the middle after the chaos of the hoopcoop was pleasant and calming 😊 Wise words, and something I benefited from hearing today, thank you.

[@Monkchip]

Congratulations on another big year of Successes! Twenty Twenty Two was a big WIN, Morgan!!! 2023 Will Be Another Successfully Satisfying year!!! Thanks 👍

[@nox5555]

Thats the charm of this channel--- a bumbling office drone turned bumbling farmer. It shows us that everybody can become a farmer if they are willing to put in the work.

[@eric2500]

The fact you have had some failures means you have had some hard lessons. You are still standing. You are facing what went wrong, good for you.

[@ghghjgh]

I love the contrast between the chaos of the hoop coop and the peaceful silence of silky chickens

[@marypritchett115]

Very artsy. 😊

[@ulalaFrugilega]

My thought was: " thank you for some peace with the weird chickens!"

[@nancylitton390]

An old years ends and a new year begins.. I have enjoyed watching you grow. I have learned much from you. That no matter what...keep your eyes on the future. Because not everything works out the way you want...but it might be better than the original idea. Thank you for sharing part of your life with us. God bless. Happy New Year!!!

[@nancybert5149]

Farming is a great occupation in that every day is different - an adventure. It is not so much about the increase in revenue but in increasing the quality of life while just earning sufficient to keep going. We only pass this way but once. Do that which fills one's life with joy.

[@ladydragon3648]

Yes it is the last day of 2022. So HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY & TO ALL YOUR FANS.

[@judykinsman3258]

I hope you & Allison have an awesome 2023🎉 You’ve helped me get through this past year with laughter at times when I had been sad.

[@hermanoverdorp6616]

No failure morgan..just learning pointS!!! You and the misses and every animal have a great new year!! Greetz from herman (netherlands)

[@markcenci8000]

I think your editing skills are excellent.

[@lizbethstringer3583]

Happy New Year, to the entire inhabitants of Gold Shaw Farm. May we all; you, your wife, us viewers, who you have invited into your life, all move forward, so next year end we can look back at 2023 and be satisfied with the results.

[@doubleglfarms9750]

Hello Morgan! Thank you so much for sharing a little bit of you, your lovely animals, your farm life this year! A year of failures equals a year of growth! Dad always says an education is expensive, so we chalk our failures on the farm as an education! We are a farm, YouTubing family of all girls from Kansas! Thank you for sharing the good along with the challenges! From our farm to yours…we wish for you a blessed 2023!

[@iamcompubear]

I've been watching you for over two years. This is the best video you have done.

[@fatandhappysailfish]

You have definitely gotten over your fear of looking like an idiot. Thank goodness for all of us. Thank you.

[@Chris.starfleet]

Morgan is an inspiration. I don't need an inspiration .... but even for someone who don't need an inspiration .... he still is an inspiration.

[@PrinceAlphashardthetribrid]

I just want to say thank you for making these videos

[@jennyd255]

Happy New Year Morgan - from Bonnie Scotland. I firmly believe that in a complex and often demanding vocation like running a small-holding there can be no true failures, only (occasionally painful) opportunities to learn how to do things better in the future.

[@dagmarsigridmanondenijs-bl7156]

Great advise. Happy New Year to you.

[@bonniea.1941]

Happy New Year to you, Jenny Day! From this Bonnie in the USA. ❤

[@Haxis3]

I really love this man, his animals are truly beautiful.

[@steveshoemaker6347]

Thanks for all of your Amazing Farm life video's that l have been watching for the past several years now....l just turned 82 years old...An HAPPY NEW YEAR to you Morgan & your Family🥳🎉🎊🎆🎇✨ 👍 Shoe🇺🇸

[@VonPatzy]

The muppet cows being super acclimated to Morgan vlogging next to them is everything.

[@LathropLdST]

MUPPET COWS 😂😂😂😂

[@leileleileleile]

I recently found your channel and the more I watch, the more I appreciate the effort you put into the videos and caring for your animals with love and humility, but also your thoughtfulness and openness in sharing your thoughts about it. Thank you! Wishing you a happy 2023.

[@estherhh]

Wish you all a happy new year 🎉❤

[@TeddyCavachon]

Problems, mistakes and failure are simply an opportunity to do it better next time. 😊

[@quietkate]

A prosperous 2023 to all living the good life at Gold Shaw Farm.

[@dagmarsigridmanondenijs-bl7156]

Hope your farm and family have a good New Year. Thank you for the Gold Shaw Farm channel. Let’s me know there are some good people out there. Yes, - yes, you Morgan Gold. To anyone reading this HAPPY NEW YEAR.

[@mnj640]

They're not failures they're learning curves. From Warooka in South Australia. By the way couldn't imagine working in snow never even seen it and I'm 56

[@eg513]

I like the close up and just watching the animals do them .. that’s a kool watch them

[@michelecaron]

Great job Morgan. You are an inspiration in both achievements and failures. Always a learning lesson. Happy New Year…with a healthy & prosperous 2023.

[@IrisAugustHill]

It's a pleasure to watch your progress and I appreciate you and you are an inspiration to we Homesteaders who don't fit the typical mold! 💚

[@patriciamorrison5372]

Well Said Morgan you my Friend are a Man wise before his years.

[@ameliasparkles13]

You’ve been quite the inspiration to me over this past year. Happy new year to you and Allison, and to all the Farm! Thanks for taking us along with you in your journey.

[@pacificripper]

Successful people worship chaos and failure. Awesome work, Morgan, and Happy New Year!

[@cheriekalel9578]

This has been a year of facing fear for me. So many things went sideways, and yet here I sit, today on my 59th birthday, alive and happier than ever. And it's not because I lost 30 lbs, though that was a side benefit from the stress. I was able to handle so much more on my own and without whining about it! So many wonderful, magical things happened just because I had my back up against a wall, and instead chose to look for the good in the situations. Thank you, Morgan, for telling your stories, and setting a great example of perseverance and joyful living in the moment with your wonderful farm animals!! And I just love having your Gold Shaw Farm calendar!!!

[@eric2500]

"We'll take a cup of kindness yet, raise a glass to auld lang syne" (old long time) To Morgan, Allison, the dogs and cats and cattle, ducks geese and chickens-- and YT followers-- *Happy New Year!*

[@maureen8930]

Mr. Morgan you might have bad days But you always rebound Better then Ever we All live you and your Farm ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@nofirstgonzalez7888]

I’d like to recommend a film to everyone and to Morgan as well. It was written by, directed by and stars Al Franken. It’s titled: STUART SMALLEY SAVES HIS FAMILY. This film takes some fun jabs at self help. It starts our riotously funny but then it becomes clear that it’s about trying to save family members consumed by addiction fueled insanity. You can love self help and chuckle at it too. Hugs to all.

[@twilacarson2308]

I enjoyed that snowfake throw on the screen you did. Awesome. I like your farm compared to the rest just because you are looking after just your dogs alot better than other farms that do nothing for their care. You take pride in your dogs and everything else. And you have a good sense of humour too. Bless your farm.

[@pattylcravatta]

Good Afternoon, Morgan! The Barn Dogs and Cats are doing Great! The Cattle are looking Good! The Chickens, Ducks and Geese are doing Great, too! Alfred has made a difference! Alfred is a Good Friend! Hello, Weird Chicken! Molly Murder Mittens and Daughter love to fight! It’s been a Great Year! Great Videos! Thank-you! Happy New Year! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@aquaticma]

Happy New Year Morgan, Allison, and farm animals!

[@AngieJames4172]

THANK YOU MORGAN!!! For the uplifting, honest and positive video. I hope what you have shared about fear, many will take to heart. I truly appreciate your openness to all of us . To me that is one (of many) things that makes your channel so great. Wishing you and Allison a safe, happy and prosperous New Year full of love.

[@wesdenham282]

Looks like you have discovered a new type of Whole Life. Happy farming!

[@linwoodnymph6113]

I watch regularly & appreciate all the effort & honesty you put into your videos. One of several things I enjoy & get the giggles are your B-roll! How do you come up with all the B-roll? They are spot-on to your videos & usually hilarious! Also, sharing your personal insights are often encouraging to others, like me! 🙂

[@drewmurphy6101]

Love those wired chickens, please don't get rid of them. I really appreciate your view on failure. Take it, learn from it and press forward.

[@heatherls34]

What a great farm. I see the beef even comes to you now! Congratulations on all the hard work and thank you for sharing your experiences with me.

[@DemonicTaurus]

Happy New Year, I hope you & Allison have an awesome 2023

[@anitraahrens905]

Wishing everyone at GSF a very happy and healthy New Year, 2023! Looking forward to more wonderful videos in the coming years. Thanx for all of the enjoyment, entertainment, and education, Morgan. I love the drone footage of the Vermont landscape, and especially the farm. Again, my thanx for your efforts!

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Hi Morgan, I love following your farm and how you do things. You're an inspiration to so many people. I'm sending you and Allison my best wishes for a Happy New Year. 🎉🎉🎉 Take care

[@tracybradshaw1362]

A very happy healthy prosperous New Year to you and yours!

[@davidmachemer1015]

Behind every success is usually a combination of failures with little successes all wrapped up in a positive attitude to learn and improve.

[@ilenesatchell5445]

Wise advice.

[@heidipustelniak652]

Happiest of New Years! The best was the new hoop coop and getting fresh milk!

[@WickedAwesomeGardening]

Always good to look back and reflect!

[@sarahburkdorf8338]

Love your video, very inspiring ! Being a small farmer too I feel like I am not alone after listening to you. I new to your channel and I really enjoy what you have to say ! Keep up the great work !

[@rambotheambo4655]

FAIL F-irst A-ttempt I-n L-earning I agree embrace it and also respect it. There is a lesson learned from each “failure “ even if that lesson is don’t do that again 🤣 I think you have had much success for 2022. I’m thoroughly impressed that you learned to make soap! Happy New Year to you, Allison and all the animals on the farm.

[@barbietrink4984]

Thank you for your wonderful adventures in video. Good job. Happy New Year and looking forward to more videos.

[@cynthiaweems5026]

Morgan, you never should worry about being a failure! You are one smart man! I have had many animals and we all just have to learn how to deal with each animal species. But YOU have totally impressed us! You research things and if something doesn’t work you are willing to change it. Keep up the great work! Definitely a positive evolution👍

[@Ina_5686]

This is a very inspiring video. Great job, Morgan!!! Happy New Year!!!

[@angelofmyheart1967]

Wise words, Morgan. Fear can be debilitating and crippling at times and can prevent us from achieving the goals we need. 🥳🎊Happy New Years to you, Allison, Toby, Abby, the cats and everyone on Gold Shaw Farm. 🥳🎊🍻🥂🎆 Looking forward to many more years of your videos. 🙏❤

[@raydaug]

Happy New Year to all GoldShaw Farm residents!

[@lauriemartin7358]

Happy New Year! This was an important message that could help many people if they take it to heart.

[@mustanglady7843]

I totally agree with you about how fear can control us. Some people cannot see that it is fear that is holding them back or makes them respond in a certain way. Great job of encouraging us to examine our lives and embrace the future. Your adventures are worth sharing. Happy New Year!

[@jrsf222]

Kudos and on to another great year‼️ Happy New Year to all‼️

[@jermainewyatt1995]

Very motivating video

[@tomduane1960]

Happy New Year to Gold Shaw Farm and to you and Allison and to all the Farm! Thanks for making us part of your Adventure looking forward to more movies from you and Alison in 2023 From Tom and Mr, Rosie my cat in Scotland

[@wezul]

I'm glad you are keeping the weird chickens. They were the highlight of this video for me. So floofy!

[@arlettegraywinnipeg5547]

Hello Morgan. Wishing you and Allison the best of peace good health and happiness. It has been such a joy watching your videos. You definitely have a gift of conveying your life on the farm. I especially enjoy the love and respect you show to all your animals. May 2023 be more successful as your farm continues to grow.

[@veronicaallison2504]

thanx, i needed to hear this message about failures. 2022 has been a rough year for me and watching your and the ima survivor videos had been a refuge at times.

[@lindaalaureano]

Happy New Year to all at the farm the 2 legged and four legged . Best wishes for continued success and progress. Your videos are the closest I'll ever know about a working farm. Thank you.

[@johanodendaal6938]

I only watch two "homesteading" channels. You and Living Traditions Homestead. They've been at it a year or two more than you. Their videos are very educational and they teach on various aspects of homesteading and living off the land. And I just saw now that your subscriber number has surpassed theirs by a few thousand already. You must be doing something right. Congratulations, and may 2023 be a very good year on Gold Shaw Farm!

[@Lori32MK]

Great philosophy on goals and life.

[@malloid]

Happy new year Morgan! Very much enjoyed your videos this past year. Best of luck in 2023. Oh, and my favourite moment last year was you getting punked by Alfred with the bucket. That was funny. 😉

[@bettypelton7711]

Instead of making New Year resolutions make New Day resolutions. It’s ok to make future plans but I noticed when I break it down into smaller goals by the end of the year I accomplish more. Morgan, I love your farm and I love you. Have a happy new year.

[@marleneclough3173]

Thankyou so much for this channel kept me entertained while not so well this year! From South Africa

[@didimoran]

I have to tell you, your channel is the most watched by me! I truly love your candid and fun way you film. Your duck info has really helped me thru this cold freezing weather. I'm a backyard duck girl and only have 7. Your fun help and your dogs are a riot!
