PEACHAM—The next video of frolicking farm animals you see on social media might just be posted by one of your neighbors.
Gold Shaw Farm in Peacham posts videos of everyday farm life to several social media platforms, including YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook, with hundreds of thousands of followers on each website.
Owner Morgan Gold and his wife Allison Ebrahimi Gold purchased the farm in 2016 and currently raise ducks, geese, chicken, and cattle. They have been posting videos to the internet since spring 2018.

BRADFORD—Orange East Supervisory Union superintendent Emilie Knisley reported that there had been “a big uptick on COVID cases” in all the district schools at the Oxbow Unified Union School District meeting on Oct. 23. She did not provide specific numbers, but that the increase placed additional demands on school staff.
According to the Vermont Department of Health, there have been five cases at Bradford Elementary School this year, one at Newbury Elementary School, three at Oxbow, and one at Thetford Elementary School. Zero cases have been reported at both Waits River Valley School and River Bend Career and Technical Center.

BRADFORD—The Bradford Selectboard approved a sign for the incoming Tractor Supply store, which is slated to open in November, during their Oct. 14 meeting.

Tractor Supply wants to erect three signs—two on the store facade and one freestanding pylon— that would total nearly 185 square feet.

BATH—This is the fourth season of the Collins Farm Corn Maze on Route 302 in Bath, but this year there is a new twist. In addition to the corn maze, a second attraction, the Collins Farm Adventure Trail, blends escape room with obstacle course.
“It’s an artistic gift,” said creator Corey Collins with a chuckle. “I have walked through corn mazes where the only objective is finding the exit. I knew I could make one that would be more fun.”
