The Five Reasons Why We Homestead (And how we want it to end)

Gold Shaw Farm | December 27, 2025



Let me give you the five reasons why we homestead here on our farm in Northern Vermont. You’re never going to see reason #5 coming. Thanks to my friend Kaylee over at the Farm on Quail Hollow for challenging me to make this video.

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.

    No joke, my dad is the only other person that said he is going to die like that. He will walk off into the forest and we write his end date on that day even if he is off in the forest for another month haha and he’ll fight wild animals but probably fail and that’s it. I thought he was crazy but maybe not! haha

    That's a Dream?!
    Halloween expert, for sure…

    Why does the Wife have to die so early?

    Why can't she sadly bury you… or leave your 104 yr old carcass out for the bears… in the back end of the farm…
    and then have then handsome young farmhand who helped her dispose of your butt move in, and live for a bunch more years happily?????

    Studies have shown… women tend to live longer than men… 😉

    Life is strange and funny, you may want a bear to murder you, but you may just end up sitting under the tree and a dry branch falls and take you out instead lol

    Your body is constantly renewing itself – cells divide and old ones are removed – enough that most cells in your body are less than 10 years old, including those that make up your bones. The replacement cells are never quite the same, which is why we change as we age. But it means if you get a composting toilet and put the nutrients from it back into the land, then you don't have to wait until you are 104 before you go back to becoming part of nature again! Your body will have gone back to nature on average once every 10 years.

    funny, your dream is similar to mine. mine is dieing in my pine forest on a death bed similer to the indian gravesite in the Jerimiah Johnson movie where the warriors are on a elevated death bed where the elements and animals scavage my remains!
