How I Went from Office Work to Farming

1:43 are Abby and Toby with you or are you with someone who has pets? BC that pattern of grass ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

18:04 Morgan's glad to go back to the farm….reminds me of Tobydog, who never wants to leave the farm 😊

The mountains around the Phoenix area are a lot younger than the mountains of Vermont, generally. That is why they look so different. Arizona had just risen out of a shallow sea when Vermont's mountains were that young.

I really glad I stumbled onto your channel not only the honesty and joy I get from watching. You never ask for likes or subs?
You sir have earned my subscription😂!
Thank you!!!

You're in Scottsdale and it is REALLY HOT! My in-laws retired to AZ from OH to live in a really different climate. They ended up living there for ~~ 25 years. The warmer winters allowed them to keep walking ~~ they lived into their mid-90's. Miss you Mom and Dad!

My aunt moved with her family to Arizona from Chicago. I was in Chicago for 3 months, it has very hot humid tempts and 4 feet snow ❄️ in winter, I hated both, I also remember sirens going off and my cousin's neighbor quickly call3d me so that I didn't think that the war broke out, it was only a tornado warning. I looked out and I remember seeing that neighbor's fence and my cousin's taking a bow, as if it will land on either side. But there was no tornado. Just very strong winds. I went home to California which I particularly didn't like the desert heat. Then heard of my aunt and her family who lived half their lives in Chicago move to Arizona 🤔 I was like why….. . I know it was for their business but I couldn't live in that extreme heat.

Youtuber Farm to Taber has good videos about the current American "poor family farmers", who actually arent that poor, but rather landowners with farming hobbies.

It's heartbreaking to loose pets to wildlife. I had ducks next to duck pond in Plymouth. Lost 1 to something getting into duck house, and gave them away to another farmer. I didn't know how to protect them and couldn't figure out what got in. Our chickens were never bothered. Maybe a weasel, I never considered that.

Uhm, no-no America is the same wherever you go. It's just the scenery that changes.

What struck me is how the word "home" has such a deep and special meaning for you now. Maybe the road wasn't always smooth, nor will it be, but I thank you for sharing it all with us.

It may seem like an odd focus, but especially with your relation to Alfred (send him my brotherly love), do you have plans to excavate the GIANT rocks in your permaculture orchard?
At least the tops? Maybe 3-6 feet down?

Lol😂 best stories. Thank you

I was watching since you started farm

Storytelling is one of your best assets Morgan, I remember all of these events except your place in DC. Thank you for sharing your life as a farmer to the good citizens of Arizona, and to us of course. Have a safe trip home Morgan!🐕🐕🐂🐓🐐🦆🪿🐈🐈💕👍

Thanks Morgan! I agree farming/homesteading is so complex in regards to stress, joy and sadness. Honesty is really the best policy, even when it is difficult to face. Thanks again.🎉

Morgan, your channel is truly a balm to my soul. I don’t exactly know when I started watching, but it was pre Toby dog. I remember when your ducks were attacked. Anyway, it’s been quite a few years, and I get a rush of anticipation whenever a new video drops.

What makes your channel special is not the context, it’s the content. You’re such a great story teller. I didn’t know you had gone to art school. It makes sense.

Beautifully done. Great fun.

you looks so cute 10 years ago

I live Scottsdale adjacent. I’m from Connecticut. Yup, living in Arizona is like being on another planet! Nothing like the east coast. 🔥🐦‍🔥🥵 Thank you for sharing your story. You and Alison remind me of home and family. 💛
Go Mother Goose! Real life on a farm. ⭐️✅😬😝 🪿 🐕 🐮 🦆 🐐 🐖 🐈 🐓 🌈💕🤣
