I think i ended up at your channel through a Toby video. Of course he is not even born yet at the time you made this. I don't know what it is about you and the videos you produce but i am drawn in and find myself learning so much about stuff i never thought i would care to know. You are extremely talented at making and editing your videos. I don't know your story but I enjoy every video i click on. I just want to say thank you .... why.....just cause. Good content is kinda hard to find especially in 2020.
Me to… Toby got me here and then this guy started stealing the spotlight…. But the videos were actually pretty interesting… I love that he mentions Black Locust tree … I was considering that breed of tree myself to grow on the 10acres of land I live on 🤓
Permaculture Orchards are such a cool idea, loving the videos, great explanations, you got a new sub. Elderflowers are good for cordials and wine as well. I was taught to only take every other bloom to help have a good fruit crop. I'd love to see a video on how these trees are coming on now it is two years down the line.
Interesting video Morgan,thanks! I’m new,been subbed a while,but,life stuff 😣😄 so just been catching a few of your vids here & there,nothing consistent,sorry. But planning now i have a little more time,to watch more consistently & also go back & check out your back catalogue when i can & fill in the blanks. So this one was awesome for me 👍 as i had lots of questions about your orchard plans! Enjoy your unique & inventive delivery & although as a softie with animals i will be 🙈 at cull/harvest times,i’ve also worked cattle & livestock so know it’s an integral part of farming. I’m looking forward to seeing all your ❄️ too! Living in Athens,Greece atm & ❄️ is rare! Hope Abby (ie?) is doing better & healing well,my boy 🐕 ((nearly 12 yr old red dobie) sends 😘😘🐾 Have a great weekend!
I just found you today. I saw you on Lumnah Acres and I thought I'd give you a try. I really like how ope you are to possibilities. I think that that is one thing that worries me about starting my own homestead. It's good to have options. I'm going to subscribe! I'll have to watch everything else too.
Thanks, Ashley. I used to get really hung up on making decisions and trying to make everything all planned out. I found that only led to frustration and disappointment. As soon as you start accepting the situation for what it is and focus your energy on the very next step, it’s amazing what you can accomplish.
Thanks so much for the update, looking forward to future videos. I’m doing something very similar about an hour south and 1-2 years behind you! I hope to learn and improve upon your success (and mistakes?!). cannot wait to see how those chestnuts turn out this summer and beyond
Yep…. I knew I’d make mistakes also… sadly my first mistake was taking dogs off my property for the day and leaving the back door to the chicken coop open… my poor chickens tried but failed to survive an attack from something 😢 I vow to do better… and hope future mistakes aren’t so costly in terms of life. Got myself a 4 month old Pyrenees/Maremma pup… I didn’t see any animals come to attack my two border collies and blue heeler… but I’m not taking any chances… and I’m so glad I did cause I freakin love this breed… my guy is so smart and so well tempered… as long as he stops being a scaredy cat when he grows up he’s gonna be a great livestock dog 😊 (I’m not really worried … most male dogs start off as big babies lol… the few I’ve raised anyways)
feels like Im improving my vocabulary concerning farm life here :) I actually have probs with spoken english, but this is so nice that I dont mind and just looking words up in the dictionary!
Gold Shaw Farm , you should try the bioldynamic tree paste , which heals the trees.also check out the holistic orchard by Michael Phillips. If you already haven't yet .your channel is inspiring. God bless .
So, I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but you may want to research what trees are toxic to live stock animals (cattle, horses, pigs, etc). I know that black locust, black walnut and elder berries are on that list along with cherry trees and relatives (peaches, plums, etc), oak trees, red maple and horse chestnut/buckeye. The problem with these trees is usually when the leaves wilt and fall off, they contain cyanide and are toxic for 30 days or more. An animal that eats these would, obviously, start suffering from cyanide poisoning. Some trees contain higher levels than others, but on the highly toxic plants 3-4 pounds of foraged leaves can kill a 1,000 lbs animal. You may have to pull the live stock off the fields when leaves start turning in the fall.
My daughter's birthday is May 23rd. In Maryland that is when the Mulberries are usually ripe, so we have gotten in the habit of making mulberry pie instead of cake for her birthday. FYI, the darker the mulberry, the more flavor as far as we can tell. The stems don't need to be removed from the berries, they are soft and perfectly edible. I hope you didn't plant white mulberries, because as far as I can tell, (and this is years before covid) they have no flavor at all.

Morgan, you are like a walking encyclopedia,,,,you have a lot of information and knowledge about so many things,,,, you're amazing,,,,
Hi..... Thank you 🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
So interesting to see the very beginning stage of this orchard.
Thanks for bringing so much beauty into the world!
Wow. The orchard is awesome. I look forward to seeing it grow.
I heard about you on NPR today. I homesteaded in Westford Vt in the 70’s. It’s wonderful to see your videos.
Just started watching your channel. I figured I’d start from the beginning.

You came along way
Great video. I JUST learned about Stefan Sobkowiak today...how funny you mentioned him.

Matthew Slayton Mistakes? Sooooo many mistakes. Easily a couple of videos worth of mistakes.
Yep…. I knew I’d make mistakes also… sadly my first mistake was taking dogs off my property for the day and leaving the back door to the chicken coop open… my poor chickens tried but failed to survive an attack from something 😢

We picked elderberrys today!
How cute … didn’t know an apple from a pear😜
How far he’s come in 5 or 6 years 👍
Makes great fence posts.
Have you done any update videos dealing with your Permaculture Orchard?
Have you ever had elderberry pie or jam? It’s amazing.
Great video, lot to learn
Not knowing why you are doing it is ok. But following your heart is the right thing to do. In that way it will all work out.
That is some great advice!
you should talk about the trees more in ur new vids . have been following u for 6 months just got to know about these
How long does it take for the trees to grow to where you can harvest?
Great video, may I ask how you built your swales?
Dig them with an excavator. I have a video I plan to put out next week that shows some of the process.
Gold Shaw Farm Great, thanks!
Do you have a pick your own farms out in the states? Have locals come and pick what they need.
"If you will it, Dude, it is no dream."
Also, you forgot to say "don't forget to smash the like button!!"
Yeah...way better verb!
Can you do a follow up video please!?!
Is this the first video where you actually talk in the channel?
The first video where morgan talks to the camera
👍
👍😎👍

burm baby, burm
Is your property at all fenced off? Seems like it isn't. Are you not asking for trouble?
