Thats what its all about. Everyone needs to fulfil their dream

Your body language while moving the cattle is less scared and uneasy. Your more sure of yourself you know how to control the cattle and they sense that. I worked as a farm hand feeding cattle and they always pushed until you stood up to the cattle while still being respectful. You have found your purpose in life! Not everyone does i haven't found my purpose in life but seeing other's finding it warms my heart!

A farm isn't about what size it is Morgan. You have a farm and you are a farmer

Words matter. There’s a world of mental difference between saying, “I have a small farm,” and “I am a farmer.” The more often you identify yourself as a farmer, the quicker it will sink in and replace the imposter syndrome emotions. You are a farmer. :)

For 6 years I watched this Farmer, from the early days of him raising ducks for the first time and watching him experience the farm life.

Pigs look comfy, and everybody is doing what they should including Farmer Morgan-thanks for being here and bringing me along xxx

I think I've followed you for 6 years, at least 5.5 years. It's been a lot of fun watching you and the farm develop, I hope we get to follow you on your journey for a lot longer!

So great to have everything on video so you can go back and reflect, learn and enjoy it all again. This is your life Morgan, and a good life it is! Thanks for taking us along.🐄🐕🦆🐓🥚🌱👍❤️

Everyday you get better. Every video I've enjoyed. Whatever you're doing you're doing it right. Don't beat yourself up over life, it's all learning curves and trial and error. Good luck to you & Allison and your future of the farm full of furr babies!! ❤

We’re so glad you moved to a farm in rural Vermont!

Watching you expand out to the growing of pumpkins & winter squash & bees for your farm use was fun to watch. Knowing that you & Allison have the abilities to give the gifts of stuff from your farm & not just junk should fill you both with some pride.

I'm glad you still feel the passion after all these years!!

Well, Morgan, you did it. You are a great farmer. Your animals look healthy and happy.

Watching the calves romp is so enjoyable!

I remember watching his videos before I went to school in 8th grade. Now I'm in college. Time really does fly.

I love these honest retrospectives that you put out. It really helps to know that you can be a success even if it's not in the exact way you pipe-dreamed it all at the outset.

The surprises that life throws at you... Who would have thought poultry farming for eggs ends up discovering growing catnip might be profitable. Who would have thought Pablo that took a swipe at your friend's dog and drew blood, became homies with Toby. Just cruise along the bends that come your way. If it works out, it works out. If not, nobody's in any position to blame you (including yourself) for trying. It's always the hardest to take the first few steps. As for your trees, I seriously think you should have a greenhouse to serve as a nursery and another larger, fenced open air area for transitioning before they grow large enough to graduate to thw permaculture orchard. Trees are always more vulnerable in their early stages. This was a lesson learned from those doing reforestation or afforestation.

Thank You so much for the many many hours of enjoyment you give us all

if you have a sewing machine, cotton fluff, and some fabric, you can make those little catnip pillows. you just take two little squares of fabric, sew three sides, use the open fourth side to fill it with cotton and dried catnip, sew that side shut, and ez pz catnip pillows. my grandma used to make them until she passed, and my cats used them until they also passed, and i'm pretty sure if i dig them up from the basement they'll still have a hint of catnip. done right, they last way longer than you think they would. i may not have cats anymore, but i'd definitely buy a few from you if you went that route and donate them to a shelter nearby.

You are very humble. You are very articulate. Love watching your success and your fails learning from everything you do. Thanks Morgan.

You have accomplished so much and learned so many new skills. Your mind is always questioning and then finding answers with research and thought and communicating with others. I think you will be successful no matter what you do. Much respect for daring to do it.

Thank you so much for sharing your time with us.

You have chilled out and skilled up! Always enjoy your thoughtfulness.

Nothing more majestic than 3 calves running back to their moms after being caught in the large white farm dog's shelter. Your willingness to adapt is what will help your farm thrive. I envy you sometimes because I would love to have a small flock of chickens in my urban food garden. But I own 2 rat terriers with high prey drives so that's currently a non-starter, but some day.

My significant other and I bought our first house in Washington 4 years ago. We're on 4 acres with 2 of them being usable and the other 2 being wetlands. I cannot tell you how many times we've re-done our garden or chicken arra because it doesn't get enough sun or there's too much water. This year has been the first we have chosen not to mow because we have a few bumblebee nests. But every year we feel like we inch toward what we want the property to be. Filled with edible foods and beautiful flowers. We're getting there too!

Keep up your good work I love your videos. If you don’t make mistakes, you will never learn. You are a hard worker.

I’ve been watching for @4yrs…..I notice the improvements. edit: favorite is the new garage/barn. edit #2: Your developing Farmers’ skin

Awesome update on the farm Morgan. You’re an inspiration for being adaptable & enjoying your days, your critters & life. Thanks!

Don't ever change Morgan people dream, you're living the dream

I really like that you're leaving the volunteer plants in place. I get why you did the swales and rows but that isn't how nature plants things. Maybe over time you could transition to groupings of trees and plants sort of like the guild concept used in permaculture where you have a tree surrounded by some shrubs and perennials, even native vines that don't damage trees, all of which can bear fruits or nuts or seeds to feed your animals, insects, birds, and other wildlife.

There’s a phrase I use in my daily life: “What I planned is not what happened”. The circumstances for Morgan are different from mine, but if even one good thing comes from what happened, it’s certainly a win

Live, Laugh and Learn everyday on your farm will make you a wiser person..❤😊

I have followed you for 6 years. You have taught me so much. You are so much more confident now. You have grown so much. I was so grateful that you got Highland Cow. It what I so badly wanted when I first moved to Colorado. Now life has passed me by 40 years later, I'm able to live vicariously through you.

MY cat Ginger was adopted by me when his mom went to a senior home..he has so many allergies and i have spent a chunk of money to make his life comfortable...I wanted to share something that has helped him considerably!!! I bought him catnip for him to feel a little spunky at times..but ....I makes him relax! has changed so much for him...love to see you growing it..

I love how you treat your cows & birds although they end up as meat, I despise the big industrial dairy & beef farms so much, how they treat the animals. I’ve enjoyed watching you grow & change & learn so much! Fighting those nasty bear hunters with the poor dog control was learning for me. You are definitely a farmer, you have one hell of a farm! ❤️🤗 The farm furrbabies have been so wonderful to be part of their lives. 🐾❤️

You're doing a great job. So peaceful.

Excellent Lesson.. I am responsible for my thoughts and emotions ❤How I react to every situation is in my control ❤

well i'm not producing enough to sell but more than i can consume so i've been donating herbs to my local food cupboard. so far mostly chives and tyme. did strawberry a few years back but my beds were affected by a blight after that and are still recovering.

I' m proud of you Morgan, you inspire and encourage me as wel.

I'm excited to hear you are going to be doing more with your permaculture orchard. We have been working so hard to get our food forest established here the past 3 years. I am looking forward to hearing more about what you have learned about the calves that passed. ❤

As you spoke about your farm.....it looks like you also have taken care..and nurtured yourself over the last 6 years. We have only one life on this planet, good on you to choose this wonderfully, glorious.. hard, dirty.. sometimes heartbreaking.. and sometimes heart making journey. Keep it up 🤗

As a burger king worker, I can assure you you’re a great farmer.

"🎶 You've come a long way baby, to get where you got to today...🎶 You are one with your farm! ☺️

And now look at you. You have that awesome barn!

We’ve really enjoyed following you on your journey and learned with you along the way! Thank you for sharing your story and your hard work. All the best!

I like and admire your ability and willingness to these evaluations. You have, IMO, a good balance between utilitarian (business plans) and aspirational (what you discover you like most, and are willing to keep even if it doesn't add to the bottom line). It's sad the permaculture didn't work out the way you planned, but very exciting to see what you'll decide to do differently with it. I'm going to stick my oar in on another matter: continuity and emergency planning. You mentioned, very off-handedly, that having another person would be helpful moving cattle up the corridor to the pastures. At some point, I think it would be a good idea to think about contacting a local farm/farm preservation society (if any state has such a program, Vermont would) to get a PTer or intern or something to work with you with an eye toward that person becoming a long-term employee/apprentice.

I luv your vids Morgan. Makes me feel comfortable, if that makes sense. ❤

Watching you succeed AND struggle to overcome obstacles has been the biggest of inspirations the last few years since I’ve found your channel. You’ve done an amazing job Morgan! ❤ And while you may have come to the conclusion that things need to change with the permaculture orchard, I don’t think anyone could look up out there and say it isn’t beautiful!! You are an incredible steward for your animals and land!

I loved how older videos were incorporated and how there was reflection on the past and the future. It's so amazing to see how much has changed and I'm very excited to see what new there is in store for the farm!

To adapt is important 🐈🐈🐕🐕🐓🐓🐂🐂🐖🐖

Great to see you manage your farm as you learn better farm management practices. Thanks for showing us your positive changes.👍👍👍

Catnip is a great sleep aid for humans! It's very effective. The part about imposter syndrome was very wise and helpful, thanks for that. Look up syntropic agroforestry for some inspiration about your orchard.

The journey is the most exciting part and change is part of that. Pigs look sweet and comfy. Love seeing the herd running free

Cows are looking happy! I'll be interested to see what you do with the orchard.

Please. Look at all the positive things you have done. You have a beautiful farm and we can see how much you care for your animals. I love watching your videos I’ve watched all of your videos from the very first episode

You have come such a long way!! Congrats.

It's ok Morgan, you fail and we learn from you here on youtube. The dream of geese going through those swales and foraging sounds so nice, I'm sure you'll figure something out.

In the thumbnail, Morgan looks so much healthier and younger when he lost weight.

Love that subtle change in the voice at the end of your sentences. Farmer it is

You've done an amazing job, I've been following you for some years, maybe since 2019 or 2020. It is amazing to see how you came across solutions for the problems and keeping track of them through time. Sometimes I can almost feel like I'm in the farm. It has always been a comfort space for me, helping me to relax and unwind. And I'm really glad you managed to make it to 6 years. Here's to another 6 years and many more. Best regards from Brazil 🇧🇷

You have come so far since 2018, and you've learnt so much. You are most definitely a farmer. Unsure if the pigs can help with the permaculture area to help clear the invasive species.

Finally a video with atleast 20+ !!💯

You have come a long way Morgan.....lt is hard to believe this old man has been watching your videos for 6 years now ! Thanks Morgan 👍 Old F-4 Phantom ll jet fighter pilot Shoe🇺🇸

Growing a productive farm requires mixing it up and changes. Essentially you need to be adaptable. Lets face it nothing remains the same. Weather patterns change, profits from production change etc. Noone can rest on their laurels and keep doing the same thing over and over. There will be keepsakes for enjoyment like the weird chickens that are an added expense, so it makes sense to slowly build up and include changes that cover the expense of the weirdos and increase profits in other directions.

Do you use animal fertilizer around your trees? I’m so proud of your progress even when crap happens!🎉🎉

Thought for a second you'd give up on the trees! Glad thats not the case, even if it will take a lifetime (of work) to see the results as you imagined them

Cherry trees grow fast and the bloom is gorgeous.

This is RJ... Always enjoy seeing Harvey's Mountain and Roy's Mountain in the background when videoing from up in your field...

Wow you've grown so much as a story teller. Kinda a back handed compliment, but story telling did not come naturally for you as evidenced by your old videos. But you're so good at it now!

It’s insane I’ve been watching your journey for six years. Good job!!!!

Put more mulch around the bases of your trees. The grass is competing with them for water

Enjoyed the lesson..Thanks much

I've been following along for a few years now and sometimes I think you are too hard on yourself. Just because you weren't born into farming doesn't mean you can't be a great farmer. I'm a permaculture designer, and what you are doing is a part of the process. The second of 3 parts to permaculture design being observation and evaluation. A permaculture design will be continuously altered based on observations and the unfolding interactions between the elements, the landscape, the climate and human needs as the system matures. This is a huge and important part of the process. Eventually you will reach the point of a mature system that needs a lot less maintenance, you'll get there.

The weird chickens aren't a complete money sink. I think they're a vital part of your KZread channel. I appreciate you and your stories but I could also do with a sub channel that is entirely weird chicken zen

Farmer Morgan, you are the real deal now! The way you reflect on your growth process as a person as well as a farmer (and the intersection of both) is one of my favorite parts about this channel and what sets you apart.

See y'all at the farm meeting Wednesday!

all of the many farmers i know have abundant handy skills, as yours have become. watching you sort out the piping with such confidence and the weird chick house, you are not an imposter, you have farmer handy skills, while being surrounded by countryside and standard farm animals you are a farmerr

the 3 calves walking around the yard was the cutest xD

As someone growing tomatoes on my front apartment patio, we appreciate the shoutout. Your videos are inspirational for those of us that dream of having acreage in a serious, realistic way.

The calves are such an attraction, especially the white one is standing out, together with Abby. I hope the bull and the steer will look healthier/ better fed soon. Seems like the whole open winter accommodations really were a strain on their resources.

Mr. Gold may realize farm is truly 24/7 job with NO day off. Yes, Mr. Gold inspired some Americans to go after the dream

Dont trees take forever? Maybe remove the dead ones and if able to, transplant the others how you want them. Leave them for the future farm/ land owner. Then redo the landscaping / swales and berms. I thought they were there to help prevent flooding of the lower house area as well?❤

You could ask The permaculture consultant. He has his own channel, maybe he could help you with your trees
