I quit my job to start a farm. Was it worth it?

- A little over a year ago, I quit my job to start a farm in Vermont. Was it worth it? Well, the answer is not so simple. There have been a lot of lessons learned here on our small duck and goose farm.
About Gold Shaw Farm: Gold Shaw Farm is more of a farm-in-progress than an honest-to-goodness farm. Our dream is that someday we are able to transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.

“I quit my high paying job to start a farm in Vermont... I’ll discuss whether it was worth it.
*But before we do that, let’s check on the ducklings!”*
gonna take a wild guess and say it was worth it
an adorable bit of foreshadowing
of course it wasn't worth it. 🤦🏾♂️. SMH white people. He could have just ordered some ducks on the internet.
E Unit What kind of person brings up race in the comment section of a fucking duck farming video?
It was obviously worth it. You can earn money and do what you love at the same time; creating bonds, families and friendships... Having good moments together.. And even grow your very own food!
@@user-wg7nw3mh2e shut the fuck up you spoiled bitch
I'd rather deal with DUCKS rather than PEOPLE any day of the week.....you made the right decision :-)
People are overrated. Most people just pretend to be nice.
To much drama from the people..)
Especially from my wife..)
I approve this message.
There are a lot of distressed farmers in isolation contemplating suicide. Part of the problem is the lack of human contact. Maybe they all need a UA-cam channel.
Disagree.
Best advice ever.
My wife's 85 year old grandma was leaving our home after a visit, as she walked out our front door for the last time, she quickly turned back and said,
"David, learn to live with less".
Genius beautiful lady.
Thanks Gramma.
Learn to live with less' Wonderful !
An 85 GrandMother had said this after leaving a house full of family...I Love Life . Very COOL GRANDMA'
That's really sweet.for her to say.
For elders really do understand and say some really " sharp " stuff even if it is the truth.
Yes, Dr Why, live with less and give more. There is such joy in that.
I quit my career of 24 years as a retail stockbroker to start my own handyman gig. Turned out I am going to be fine and I love what i do.
Right on
"The job" is your life" not the other way around, "your life is the job". You (and your amazing wife) are the CEO's of your life. Bravo - great story and loved the cut-ins.
The sounds of the geese and ducklings is like heaven compared to the corporate environment ;)
U better be vegan to say that💀 but even though this is much better than what big companies do to get their meat, they treat their livestock horribly, the animals end up getting infections and all that other shit and they sell those animals directly to us humans. I used to work for a farm and had to quit cuz I honestly couldn’t do what they required me to do and plus my co workers were horrible, their real assholes. They would beat them, and if they weren’t moving fast enough would literally beat them and perform sexual actions towards them. This is how animals, how our food should be treated and fed.
This channel is clearly not for you. We all eat meat, I eat meat, you eat meat (if ur not vegetarian) and at the end of the day it’s a required part of our diet. We’re omnivores. This man treats his livestock incredibly well, with loads of space, organic and fresh food. You really shouldn’t be complaining on this channel about animals getting killed when they are getting treated with this much respect.
@Lau taro Slavery? I understand what your saying, I'm a huge animal fan as well. However you cannot confuse this to slavery. There's absolutely no chance to make the whole world vegan or vegetarian. We need and love meat and for that reason there's no way we could ever abolish this method of earning meat (keeping animals as livestock and then harvesting). The amount of farm animals being harvested into meat is less of the problem than the way they are being treated in industrial farming companies that we are mainly sufficient of.
I ask, if there is no need to kill animals in order to feed ourselves, what other approach are you suggesting?
@Lau taro you're the type of person that makes people hate vegans.
@@oompapaoom112 actually I think they just kill the infected animals becuase selling them to us is a fda violation
I'm 16, lived on a farm my whole life and never really appreciated it. Videos like yours have shown me how special it is to grow up with animals and fresh food all around me, may take a 45 minute drive to see other humans and towns but its definitely worth it.
Agreed!
You’re a fortunate man to have realized your dreams and achieved them while young enough to be able to take full advantage of it. I wish I had had that much foresight. Continue the dream!
Soooo true!
Well my friend I'm happy you realized your dreams also later rather than never. Lot of people never have the courage to pursue theirs, but you did and that's awesome ! I hope you enjoy your life to the fullest right now and wish you sir a lot of happiness
hes fortunate to be able to do this for fun, it sucks when u have to do it to make a living/feed yourself
@@johndowe7003 so real life sucks, eh?
@@tzenophile nt always, what i was getting at is. its different when u have to do that type of work because u have nothing else , rather than doing it because you want to? idk its a bit hard to explain. like someone whos lived that kinda life wouldnt be as enthusiastic. dunno
I'm only 25, with barely 3 years of a corporate career under my belt, but I already kind of feel like I made a mistake pursuing my white-collar job that I worked so hard in college for. Your story is so inspiring to me. I just found your channel, and it's such a relief to see that there are people like you and your wife in the world who actually plan out and follow a dream like this. I hope I find my own dream, and make it a reality like you did. Best of luck with everything, and your ducks and geese quack me up!
"...I quit a high paying job at an investment company to move up to Vermont and start a farm."
An abandoned farm, at that.
So, Stardew Valley pretty much :p
Lau taro bruh shut up lmao 😂
Lau taro did you ever think that the ducks and geese he takes from friends or buys might go to someone worse then him.
When i see his videos the ducks have a lot of free range and they seem happy. And the geeslings he hatches might not exist without him.
So yeah. If i would be nearby Gold Shaw Farm i would gladly buy his ducks and geese as they are happy and have in comparisons to mass animal farms a really good life.
Lau taro people will not stop eating animals. i am a vegetarian myself, but it’s unrealistic to expect vast numbers of people to be vegetarians as well. this farm and countless other farms in the small farm movement are moving us as humans towards a more ethical way of consuming meat. i understand your frustrations at the death of animals for food, but target that frustration at large meat companies who make their animal’s lives a living hell. farmers like this guy makes sure that his animals have the best lives possible before their death, and that is how it should be.
@Lau taro people eat and will eat meat, but mostly they eat meat raised in terrible, inhumane conditions. He is raising happy animals that can live as close to their natural state as possible. Everyone dies at some point and what matters is how you've spent the time given. Those geese have better lives than 99.9% livestock out there and if someone buys the goose from him instead of a factory chicken the world becomes a better place. That is changing the world with hard work and sacrifice and it's worth so much more than your approach of hostility and patronizing.
Lau taro
He kills them very humanely and treats them with extreme respect and love till then
I quitted my urban life right after graduating from University, I left central Europe moved to Russia, purchsed property and started a farm, despite the fact that Russia is not the best place for such things i never regret that I started farming.
Niem Fpmak - Nied Fpmak which country in central Europe did you come from?
@@MRRookie232 By his channel I would guess Germany:)
I plan to do the same but in turkey
Wealth is a state of mind.
In my eyes, you and your wife are wealthy in health, love and farming; what could get better than that?!?!
Let’s not even talk about that view!!!
I feel that you have completely embrased your life.
As long as one has something to eat, access to needs, and a safe place to live, I absolutely agree. I have heard it said that the nomadic peoples of South Africa are the richest people on earth, as they have all the food they need, strong social bonds and uncontested land to live in.
E Land I wish it were that way. I have found gratefulness in the simple things.
Had you continued your "corporate career" path you'd eventually get a heart attack or something.
Farming is probably a very healthy way of life.
Enjoy and good luck.
"Farming is probably a very healthy way of life."
It depends on whether you are farming for money. Farmers have a rather high suicide rate for a reason.
+Raven Ziola Anything you do for money is gonna suck. Sex is a good example. Very enjoyable experience but prostitute tend to take lots of drugs apparently. Before I move on a farm, I will make sure the money aspect is looked after. Then making my own jam and growing my own food will be a bonus. Not a way to get rich.
@@666mandrake - "Ora et labora" my work is a prayer.
A work in the service to God rewards, a work in the service to satan destroys, humiliates, and punishes.
What many people have forgotten is that the money is a proxy for value, and anyone who creates value by serving can earn a lot of money and be happy. It is the pursuit of money itself, and the way that a person uses it that create misery.
+Raven Ziola Well said.
@@mementomori6992
People make money as a form of making a sacrifice today to make tomorrow easier--so of course it's not as pleasant. It's a form of sacrifice.
What's even worse is getting stuck in an institution when you're old because you went 100% the other way and never saved any money or gained any assets at all.
You're completely neglecting the fact that life is about balance, and you'll be no better off than those you pity if you ignore that.
To put it simply, the cure for obesity is not starvation.
I watched 2 ads before the video start, didn't skip them. I always do that with channels I'd like to support, specially small channels.
Thomaz Callado hero
Great idea.
Thank you for that. Hero's like you allow people like me to have adblock on.
Hi I am starting a channel :)
G Locarso 😂👍
Opens door to ducklings, so worth it. Why would you have to answer a question "was it worth it?". It's DUCKLINGS! Love ducklings.
4:48 explaining how he thought the corporate life would fulfill him as ducks laugh in the background!!!!
My sides hurt from laughing
You followed your dreams, went after it. Even if it dosent succeed you can say you tried and wont die wondering "What if?"
Good for you man.
I did the same thing! I quit my "dream job" at 29 and bought property and am transitioning to moving off grid. Already 100% worth it!!!!!!
Nice farm .l always live duck ..l also left my job n do things l love .only miss the duck thing .so l enjoy watching u do in u tube ..bravo ...at 70 l m just watching thro U tube ..m living far east in Jakarta ..
@MoMonkey mengapa tinggalkan syurga untuk Amerika?
I think this is one of the coolest guys i've ever seen! , he really didn't care for money or status or society, he just wanted to raise ducks and that's one of the most wholesome dreams i've heard of!
Hey buddy. Very happy to hear...my story similar to yours.
I studied computer engineering masters in Columbia University. Worked as computer engineer at United technologies.
I moved back to South India few years ago and in to farming business in addition to other businesses I run. We primarily grow chickens. I'm working towards growing all types of organic vegetables in our farm.
Nothing like the satisfaction you get when you live and get your resources from nature. Farming is the most satisfying experience.
Have fun.
Well said. And thank you!
I waited till I retired early at 56 to consider this change and I was in a car accident and wrecked my back, now I cant do it, wish I would have done it when I was younger cause I cant do it now, cheers to you, I'm around 60 now and may still raise some chickens, but you rock on man, glad you are enjoying it!
YOU *TREAT YOUR PRECIOUS ONES SO VERY WELL*...I *APPROVE* !!!! *I BLESS YOUR FARM AND YOUR FAMILY AGAIN!!!!!*
Wished i would have done that 15 years ago. Good for you. Do you feel like you were lied to about what you were supposed to be doing? Seemingly, an awful lot of people have followed what they were taught to follow in the path of big house, big car, boat, motorcycle, vacation home, plane, expensive trips to try to escape the doldrums of everyday life.
You basically lose yourself, I mean who you really are not who you thought you were supposed to be. But you already found that out.
Grew up in the DC area. It was okay when you grew up there. Once you hit adulthood, that all changes into wow, what used to be affordable is no longer achievable by the average working Joe.
Keep learning, keep marketing, keep up the hard work, cant really say it will ever pay off. But then again, the world is full of people that barely eek out a living subsistence farming.
One thing is for sure, at the end of the day you can say, "I did this." or more like, "the Mrs. and I did this."
Well said!
Omg... you had a legit HIGH paying job... And quit it to start a FARM...!!!
But you do your own thing so well, that I felt like not having a job and rather starting a farm, after watching a lot of your videos..
Never knew that you already did that !!!!
Sack all the movies and the city. You are free man, that’s what really matters
Good for you. The best time of my life was on my grandparents farm every summer. It's a lot of hard work but well worth it. My grandpa had a job off the farm too. Just enough to help make things go.
I think you need an “all ducks go to bed” t-shirt!
Isn't It amazing! The things that you worried about, your daily stressors, are so much different now than they were two years ago.
This story is exactly what we needed to hear right now as new homesteaders and youtubers!! Thanks for the encouragement!
I am very thankful that you made the change. Ever since I've found your channel, I've looked forward to every video. Don't ever stop dude. You bring a smile to an ex junkies face with every quack...
The struggle is the fun part.
When you get bored is the worst thing you can have i life.
I'm about a couple of years younger to you and planning to resign in a few years. This is me researching everything before taking the plunge.
You're an inspiration man. The challenges,the success everything is a lesson for me. I only hope to have enough courage and dedication to see through the toughest days.
any update?
Anything worth having requires hard work. People are unhappy because they expect everything to just fall into their laps. Life doesn't work that way. I'm glad you realized your path at a young age. You have a long and happy life ahead of you.
Been thinking about the same thing myself. Nice to see someone in a similar situation take the step. Props.
Thanks for sharing your story. You inspire those of us who are firmly on the ledge and everybody in society says, “You’re stupid to do that.” I hear you about the rewards of farm life, the hard work it entails (no PTO, national holidays, nor break time!), and the small if any monetary compensation. But I’m right with you - rock on !
A wise duck once said" One Quack A Day Keep the Sadness Away" So Kudos to you :)
Wub a lub a dub dub
LOL I suspected you didnt grow up on a farm, you like to talk more than any 6 farmers I have ever met haha
ogmius2001 lol. So true
@ogmius2001
That's 'cause it's not a
factory farm. It's a farm
of a real man with real
standards of living. Real
people use the gifts that
they're given by our
Creator.
To take joy in the natural
world in a tangible way
is a very important thing
in which humanity is
intended to partake.
One of the greatest gifts
we have is the gift of
speech. Which separates
us from the beasts. To
use that gift is to gratify
the Creator that bestowed
it upon us. בס״ד
You made a good decision. A lot pf people have that 'retire on a farm' dream, problem is, by the time you retire you may not be in good enough physical shape to do the work required on a farm.
Which is why you have family take over or just sell it…
The fact that you checked on the ducklings instead of answering said it all...
These skills are going to be so necessary moving forward. My mom is 94 and grew up on a farm. When talking to her about the great depression she said they didn't know much about it because life on the farm was hard all the time. But if you had the land and was willing to put in the work you always had what you needed. That was when 25%of the country lived on farms, now its 2%. If another depression happens now it's going to be catastrophic.
So I'm watching your video, agreeing and relating to everything you're saying, and I hit 7:14 where you are talking about gardening nurturing this little dream you've had, and I just literally burst into tears. I don't know why it hit me so hard, but I guess it's just a shared human experience. I'm not usually so emotional about stuff but for whatever reason that just hit me hard. I feel that. It's the same thing I went through. My grandmother had a farm when I was young, and I have ALWAYS been heavily into rearing animals, growing plants, soil nutrition, etc. But it's always been on the back burner of a career in biology, and later a career as a tattoo artist. No matter what I do, I always come back to farming and building sustainable systems. I had a job recently over the summer learning more about professional landscaping and getting heavier into plant science, and it just ignited that spark even heavier, to the point that we are heavily 'backyard farming' our tiny yard in the suburbs. We bought land about 10 years ago (108 acres) for the idea to go out and farm one day, but over the past year or so it's just been pulled to the forefront as I get heavier and heavier into soil building, rearing quail, composting and gardening.
I know it sounds like 'I should have gone there a long time ago' to start farming, but I got diagnosed with a chronic illness a few years ago that set us back financially (through mismanagement and not realizing something was wrong, and failing health preventing me from working to my fullest as a self-employed person at the time, not from health care costing money, it's free here), so we're just pulling ourselves out of that debt over the next few years and then we hope to get out there, too.
Just wanted to share that for whatever reason, your experience really hit home for me.
Stick with it you are doing an amazing job! I as well left a very good Government job after 16 years and now 4 years later we are well on our way with a thriving cattle/sheep Ranch. Best choice of my life. Cheers from your neighbours to the North 🍻 🇨🇦
What a journey you have been on and that still continues! It’s a blessed life to do what makes you happy and to be at a place of peace! 💕
Found you through Lumnah Acres. We are starting a small farm in southern New Hampshire. I absolutely love the work I do on the homestead, but still have to work my day job. We bought a sawmill and are making our own lumber for our outbuildings, and I am loving every minute of it. Keep at it, if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life!
Were Starting are move to tn to start are farm, were raising some chickens and ducks now trying to build up our skill level to full fledge farm.
Farms are a great place to raise a big family too. It's a culture shock to leave a big city, and move out to the country. But when big cities are on the news showing how insane they really are, then I just step outside with only birds, deer and the occasional moose and I love it.
I am very late to this party as I just discovered your channel. So very glad I did. Am thoroughly enjoying watching them in order. Morgan, you did the right thing! I am 20 years older and wish I had the opportunity and courage to make such a life altering change. Kudos to you both!
Great when you can pursue your dream! Wish I could quit my job, but for me it´s too late, but glad, you are happy about your choice for a better and different life!
There are so many that write that. Maybe start a community (i don't know for sure if this is the right word) like a forum or chat. I am sure there are possibilities, if not living that life, maybe to make holidays on a farm or so.
Dude your courageous when it all hits the fan a lot of people are gonna wish that they had done what youve done
Thank you. What a great video. We just quit our jobs and moved to Michigan to do the same thing and we are definitely out of our comfort zone but loving every minute of it!
I’m happy with your decision 😉. You’ll do just fine and thank yourself that you’ve followed your ❤️
I really appreciate how you and your wife approached the changes and really planned together the best way to maintain your comfort level of funds in the bank along with building your dream together, super smart! I have a really good feeling about the future for you guys! Congratulations on your new adventure and thank you for sharing it with us.
It's like going back where you were created, the happiness of the nature is the best than staying in an office.
Another great talk! You two will do fine and live a more peaceful, self sufficient life! Welcome to Vermont - it is a magical place for sure.
Man your decision is Crazy, but appreciate that you had willing to take that challenging path for your future. I wish all success and peaceful life as all we dream about.
Good for you.. most of us are afraid of change.This was not “ dropping out” but rather moving forward
So inspiring! I'm at the same point in my life where I have achieved the career that I have been working toward for so long. But it just isn't as rewarding as I had expected. My husband and I have had serious conversations about retiring to a farm as well. I hope to achieve this sooner just as you and your wife have. Congratulations! Follow your dreams
😂😂👍🦆🦆🦆🦆 Money is not everything WE only live once.i have no Money but i have a Dog,quail and some ducks next week .i am Happy.
Ulrike Märtin awesome!!!
@@tiffanybecker1591 you have quail aswell,thats great 🐣♥️🌻🌼
Ulrike Märtin I do :) We enjoy them very much!
Well said, well done, do your own business, don't quit, forward you go !
Keep it up, you're doing great at this rate you'll be at 100k+ in no time.
5:20 The 3rd duck from the end looks so cute that makes any one quit their job and have a farm heheheh !!! Great decision dude ! GREAT DECISION !
What an inspiring story! Congratulations on changing your life. Your videos are awesome!
My family loves your channel and my sons both have a T-shirt of yours that they wear regularly! Thanks for another great video
You’re completely adorable. I’m so happy that this lifestyle change has overcome your expectations. I’m also happy that you’re a you-tuber. ThanQ!
You are a wise man Josh. To be able to recognize what was going on and not just succumb to the temptation to stay because it is a "good job" and challenge yoyrself, that is the one thing many people miss. The farm looks so beautiful right now with the lush spring growth as it heads into summer. Glad the ducks and feesecare doing well and the weird little duck is getting it's feathers back. Thanks for sharing your story. It may change another person's life for the better and may it do exactly that. God bless your farm and you and yours.
Wauw this is so cool! Blessed are the smart people who saved up a little money to run into the wild a few years later and live a small and natural life. Bless you sir, your wife and your ducks. Enjoy your lifetime!!
Dude, good for you! Man this made me smile :) I'm really happy for you, if a bit jealous (full disclosure super jealous). But it's clear that you worked very hard to achieve what you have. You deserve it all and more. Thanks for making great content.
Always fun and interesting to come by your place. Glad you had time for us. Looking forward to the next time already. I'd like to hear Alison's take on it. Without hearing much from her already, it's easy to realize that she's a remarkable woman and wonderful wife.
Can't put a price on happiness! Best wishes for your family
Sweet little geese. I'm glad you had the courage to follow your dream.
This video made me smile and smile. Made the same insane decision last Nov. In spite of a really rough first winter in Maine, my response is the same. 100% worth it.
Congrats on taking the plunge!
I have a similar story, I'm 37 now. I started with a small garden in my 1\3 acre yard, then got chickens... and more chickens, then goats and now a farm
I grew up working and going to school in the tech industry, but after scratching that itch it just took on a life of it's own and I can't imagine doing anything else
(My city parents keep asking why I'm so weird 😂)
Happy for your decision to be happy, congratulations and thank you for the video.
Great story Morgan! How we got started is similar. I love what I do now and wouldn't change it. Looking back would I do some things different but I love where I'm at now!
Man, u made it easy for many!! Its inspiring!! Follow ur heart!!!
Bless your family brother....I am impressed so much by the bravery it took for you to do this.....You must be so proud.....
Inspirational video, thanks for your perspective & insight.
I'M PULLING FOR YOUR FARM AND YOUR FAMILY'S HAPPINESS WITH MUCH SUCCESS ALL THE WAY AROUND!!! YOU SAID IT RIGHT!
I'm doing that on a smaller scale, just took early retirement and bought a mini farm about 50 miles away. I'm building a barn right now. We moved out of the city, I left my career of over 30 years in IT. I was a former VP of Sales and Marketing among many titles over the years. Now I'm going to do micro gardening and maybe, raise ducks! You inspired me but having troubles getting the wife on board with that part.
go for it bro! you only go once on this merry go round.
How are you going to make a living ?
@@andreas3850 I have my pension and investments, any additional income is a bonus for me. I actually made $ in the house swap going to the country and my expenses are less than half the cost in the city.
One thing I like the best about your videos is that you TALK to the birds and animals. I think it is SO important.
Agreed!
"Quit ducking around," and "Duck off to the countryside." -Ducking A.
I love your series clips. So funny.
Al was right, you are a delight to learn from and be with. Thanks for all your hard work (and that cool t-shirt )!
Love it!!! I love your sense of humor and storytelling abilities!
Thanks for sharing your story. Best of luck to you and your farm!
I can't even begin to explain to you how much I enjoy listen to your stories about how things in your life came about. Your passion for this farm life dream and now accomplishment is so gratifying not only for you but for your fans. At least that is how I really feel. It just makes me smile to see the drive you have the will to not give up. I wish I had that same enthusiasium, but at least it is so satisfying to see your dream coming true. Thank you so much for taking us (me) along on this wonderful journey of yours. I was so happy to hear you say 100% yes. I was so excited for you.
Hi, guys, I also was 38 years-old when switching from a marketing manager towards science and teaching. I have found your channel today and I keep on watching it all day long. I enjoy your style and your attitude towards animals. You are doing a great job with the dog, says a lifetime dog owner :) You made my day! You are great!
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
I was raised in the country, without close neighbors, and thought nothing of hearing my dad and uncle yelling at the cattle way off at the barn and pastures. Can your neighbors hear you calling to your ducks? Really liked the video.
I'm a bit older & just bought a farm with my son who is 25, it's a late start for me & a huge bonus for his life. I'm rewatching these videos & hoping we will have as much success!
Happiness is everything! I'm in that ship now. Good for you buddy.
This was awesome! I just happened onto your channel and so glad I did! You remind me so much of a friend of mine who moved away. I don’t get to see them hardly at all and miss them terribly. You even talk like him! He’s a great guy, his wife, too. He’s a corporate exec. He goes to Japan a lot. It’s kind of a comfort watching this. It’s like I’ve got my bud back!
Absolutely brilliant video. Great to see fellow farmsteaders that are happy.
I had think the same idea as you but scare to make a moved. I so happy to watch your video of one year result after taking action.
Good decision...positives are 1. Peace of mind. 2. Physical activity which will be invaluable down the line.
My favorite? "All ducks, go to bed!" I just love that one.
As a girl, I spent most of my summers on one of 2 farms. (Uncles) I had chores on each and yes, I had to tend the chickens on one. That's why I do not like chickens except as Chicken Nuggets! (Grin) Ducks? Oh, they are fun at least to me. Just as much work as chickens, but a lot more fun.
I think Jack Spirko coined that one.
"The dairy man had a Ph.D in mathematics, and he must have had some training in philosophy. He liked what he was doing and he didn't want to be somewhere else-one of the few contented people I met in my whole journey." John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America
You are so wise to follow this dream while you're young and strongh. We waited until retirement and after 12yrs still love it but it get harder every year. We're in southern Oregon and have just 2 1/2 acrers chickens,dogs, a small orchard , garden and still love live in the woods. Have lived through forest fire, serious health issues, but God has seen us through faithfully. This also gives our many city dwelling grandchildren an awesome place to come and spread their wings. God bless you we love watching your progress and we pray for your success and contentment💖🙏👼😍
Found your channel today because of your hemp video and must say I’m intrigued. I myself am looking to start a farm when I’m around my 30’s or so and eventually get it to where I’m completely living off the land. Cheers man.
It was really a hard decision not many people would take. Congratulations and Good Luck !!
so good to hear the story how this all began. this channel is such a HUGE inspiration to follow the dream. whatever the dream is.
You are my hero. I am like you back in your days. I have a big garden and some turkey. I tell my coworkers if I can make money farming I would quit my job today. You keep my hope alive.
