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.
It's so very good to have been able to share this last year with you, Morgan. Thank you for the generous hospitality.
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!
And then they fail to do anything... so it's not an escape, lol.
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.
Thank you! I hope you heal up!
I hope you feel a lot better and stronger in this new year

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.
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
This is not just showing how a farm evolves, but a FREE counseling session 😄 to boot!! Thanks, I need all I can get.
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.
Glad to hear it!
I love the contrast between the chaos of the hoop coop and the peaceful silence of silky chickens
Very artsy. 😊
My thought was: " thank you for some peace with the weird chickens!"
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!
Best wishes for prosperous 2023. Thank you for sharing your farm and insight.
Pray for the Farmers!!!! 2023 and on and on!!!
"There are no failures, only solutions that belong to a different problem!" God Bless and have a Healthy and Blessed New Year!
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!
Happy new year everyone! ❤❤❤❤❤NO FEAR IN 2023. Let NO ONE Steal your joy!!!!!!
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.
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.
Great advise. Happy New Year to you.
Happy New Year to you, Jenny Day! From this Bonnie in the USA. ❤
@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.
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.
Your successes outnumber your failures. You are in that "incredible place". Congratulations and best wishes in 2023!
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. 🙏🏻
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.
I just want to say thank you for making these videos
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.
Wish you all a happy new year 🎉❤
Loved your 'quiet moment scene' with the chickens eating and drinking...very sweet and peaceful. 😊
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.
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.
Mr. Morgan you might have bad days But you always rebound Better then Ever we All live you and your Farm ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I really love this man, his animals are truly beautiful.
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
A prosperous 2023 to all living the good life at Gold Shaw Farm.
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.
No failure morgan..just learning pointS!!! You and the misses and every animal have a great new year!! Greetz from herman (netherlands)
You are doing a great job. You are resilient, imaginity and very entertaining. Good job.
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.
Nothing is failure. Everything is in learning progress.
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.
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👍
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.
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!!!
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.
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!
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.
The muppet cows being super acclimated to Morgan vlogging next to them is everything.
MUPPET COWS 😂😂😂😂
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.
Always good to look back and reflect!
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! 💚
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.
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!
Great job Morgan. You are an inspiration in both achievements and failures. Always a learning lesson. Happy New Year…with a healthy & prosperous 2023.
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
It is called; Transcending. Bravo, keep on the good work.
And you are a good Farmer.....and as many have noticed, good at articulating your thoughts. We live in the day.
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.
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. 🙏❤
Well said. It's true. It's what you DO with that truth that becomes the difference. Bravo. Happy New 365!
Happy New Year Morgan, Allison, and farm animals!
Problems, mistakes and failure are simply an opportunity to do it better next time. 😊
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.
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!
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
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.
I think you should give a serious shout out to your wife whom let’s and makes certain things possible! Also you have to be okay without being okay. Joy to the world
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! 🙂
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!!!
Good suggestions for the upcoming year. I am having angst over moving and also my recent lack of artistic ability. Both are likely based on fear of failure. Never thought of it this way. Thank you! Happy an healthy New Year to you!
I've been watching you for over two years. This is the best video you have done.
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.
Love from Scotland 🏴
The Farm Looks So Beautiful In The Snow ❄️!
Great video... it is true that we learn from our mistakes and watching you work through obstacles has been very rewarding , as you never gave up. Have a great 2023 and Happy New Year to all.
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.
Happiest of New Years! The best was the new hoop coop and getting fresh milk!
Yes it is the last day of 2022. So HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY & TO ALL YOUR FANS.
Morgan, as someone who owns a hobby horse farm and a vet. I will tell you, failure is a part of the process. It is how you pick yourself back up and move on is how the world judges you. It is good to experiment with your farm. It is YOUR farm. You run it how you like it. It took me so long to finally bite the bullet on getting wooden fences rather than wire and pvc. I do have electric running along the top still to prevent escapés (yes Dory inspired).
You are 100% right on the milestone markers being huge. That is working with animals. I hope there is more growth in the next year for Gold Shaw.
Much love to you, Allie, and all your critters.
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.
Congratulations on another big year of Successes! Twenty Twenty Two was a big WIN, Morgan!!!
2023 Will Be Another Successfully Satisfying year!!!
Thanks 👍
Behind every success is usually a combination of failures with little successes all wrapped up in a positive attitude to learn and improve.
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🥳🎉🎊🎆🎇✨ 👍

This is a very inspiring video. Great job, Morgan!!! Happy New Year!!!
Great video guys! Please keep up the great work. It’s inspiring to me.
I'm glad you are keeping the weird chickens. They were the highlight of this video for me. So floofy!
Happy New Year to you both and all your animals.
It was a year of great achievements 👍
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!
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. 😉
My greatest fear all my life was the fear of failure, and I had friends in my pastor to pray for me, because I knew God had called me to sing in church, but I was always frayed of failure that I’d forget the words that it just wouldn’t come out right so I know that God healed me I’m able to get up in front of people I’m able to sing not as pretty as I used to sing because I’m 74 now, but yeah, that was my greatest fear was failure but I’m not like that anymore. Praise the Lord and I know you’ll get past it too. Thank you for sharing that that meant a lot to me. God bless you.
Good words for the coming new year. You've come a long way over the last year and I hope the new one is even better for you and your farm. I appreciate you sharing your life with all of us.
Congratulations on your first "all in" year! It's been fun watching this journey with you. Happy New Year!
Thank you Morgan such an amazing message and inspiring video! ❤
Happy New Year! This was an important message that could help many people if they take it to heart.
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.
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 !
That quiet interlude with the weird chickens was awesome.
"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!*
I like the close up and just watching the animals do them ..
that’s a kool watch them
Kudos and on to another great year‼️ Happy New Year to all‼️
Im teaching my grandchildren that failure only happens when you give up on something. Mistakes are simply learning opportunities and personal growth comes with that knowing.
You have definitely gotten over your fear of looking like an idiot. Thank goodness for all of us. Thank you.
Had a car wreck in March of 2022. Hit and run driver. Two surgeries, vehicle totalled, serious crimp on my ability to work. Struggled, worked with my clients around scheduling, most of them were great about, but not all of them. Ready for the Spring season, I learned a lot about myself through a super challenging season.
I think your editing skills are excellent.
