I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

Milking room trim-out is looking wonderful and I'm eagerly awaiting the next phase. Watching your animals today, I'm struck by how healthy they are. Shows you're feeding and caring for them properly. Great work!
Your builds are always so nice looking, because you always do it to perfection. Your lessons learned have even improved your skills and patience!
Willow is so cute, she enters the milking room, stops looks all around and is like wait what??? She picked right up on the changes Dad, she just wanted a second to take it all in😊 Adorable!
I would wait a little longer before letting the chickens loose on the pasture, Al try putting a small mirror on the wall in front of Willow when you milk her. Just curious what her reaction would be. Great video.
You guys have really transformed your property over the past year. Congratulations!
I was just thinking fhe same--how far you have come this year, Al!
The sound is so much better in the milking room now!
Mr. Lumnah,
I would recommend keeping the chickens fenced, moving New Yolk City. That way their squattage can be targeted.
Plus, predators...
Good morning Figaro :D your goats are so cute following you everywhere. They seem to really enjoy their pasture.
I believe the goats like their new play area. I like the ship all inside the milking room. I was surprised at how Willow got so upset over the foam being covered up. The horses always notice changes in my clothing. The day I went to water them, wearing my arthritis gloves...boy they backed off...so I removed the gloves, went about my chores and as I walked back by each horse, they all needed to sniff of and look at my hands. ( And yesterday I noticed a slight change in them...They are all getting fuzzy knees. Winter is coming guys.)
Anything new makes my horse spook. Someone put two mini van benches next to our barn for garbage and it's been almost a month but Scout still is spooky when passing them.
The goats seem so much happier since you had the fence put in. Love it! It cracked me up the way they were following Al. Lol
I like the idea of free-ranging the chickens since you are going to block off pasture in the future, that will work out nicely. The only problem I can foresee is that little Tanner will go absolutely bonkers as you have already trained him to chase loose chickens. He will be very confused if he is reprimanded now and he is such a cool little guy. Your modern homestead is just shaping up beautifully. Looking so good Lumnah Acres.
It's very cute to see the 'herd' running around together in the pasture.
Remember CWC Al! I am worried about them! Keep them in the fence! Critters are hungry, for you beautiful chickens! Love and hugs from Texas!
Al, as for your cutting technique. Your skill level with the cordless is top notch. When you cut the triangle shaped piece's at either side of the door, I would have done the back cut as well. Just like you did on the horizontal pieces. It would have given you a much easier time, getting a tighter fit to the ceiling board. Easier to compress a thin tip, than the full thickness of a board. This is one area where a sharp block or bench plane excels. The milking room is definitely looking good ! Can't wait to see the shop done !
That was funny to see Willow looking for some foam to nibble on.
I've free ranged for years. Always know when they are laying the eggs. They all hang out near the doors, even the roos. My problem children are the broodies they will sometimes lay in the wooded area. Love the barn.
I was wondering if you would free range them in the new pasture. It would give them a lot more opportunities for foraging and make your pasture more healthy as well.
Goats are so funny to watch when they jump n play, looks cosy in milking room, the wood must smell nice too.
Mmmmmmm......Wood! hahaa...
That milk room is looking great! You might have problems with predators if you let the chickens free range as some may not make it back to the coop before the door closes. Blessings to all.
So glad you moved the spools out together so the goats can enjoy them better!
Al you have gotten a lot done this spring and summer. A barn, Pigerator, amd wood shed. The homestead is looking real good. Now with the new shop area. I'm looking forward to seeing the interior finishing work and new small projects.
After every video, i read every comment... always.
Seems the majority strongly would like to see the chickens free range.
However i do agree that goats being goats are gonna chew on your automatic chicken door cord.
Then again you could use your imagination and still have the chickens free range but also make a secure access for then to get into their own fenced in area around NYC that the goats cant get to. Just a thought.
Pigs look great as well as the rest of the animals. The barn looks awesome as well. God bless and keep on doing what you do. We all appreciate you sharing your lives with us.

Gina and Olivia could really draw some beautiful murals in milking room. Even drawing labeling for storage areas
I love the ship lap. The whole thing looks fantastic!
Loved Buttercups neck roll at the end,
Thanks for the fun video it brightened my Monday!
I like your thoughts on proper pig harvesting and completely agree with every thing you say. Thank you for your videos, I enjoy them very much!
Love watching the goats. They seem so happy now.
Hi Al and Gina, the milking room looks terrific!
We have about 75-100 birds and we keep them penned up like you do, but we let them out later in the afternoon to peck and forage. We feel its safer for them (we have to worry a lot about owls, hawks and other large birds) because they are only out for a few hours as opposed to all day. At night, they put themselves away and we just go out and close up the doors before full dark.
As and added precaution, we keep a small .22 handy incase there is an attack.
We keep geese, ducks, Guinea fowl (very noisy)and a few different breeds of chickens.
Your perfectionism is so refreshing to watch. I love love love this channel. Btw how are you feeling?
Milking room is coming together very nicely
Have a wonderful day 🌻🌻🌻
Yes, its beautiful Al! You do such a good job!
Looking forward to the framing of the window. The milk room looks really nice!
Fantastic milk room !!!!
I have an opinion on the chooks being free or fenced 🙄 but it's not a popular thing .... I say do what's best for you and your farm 😁
We raised 4 hogs over the last 4 months
1st dressed 225
The last 3 between 300-320
We fed hay, pasture, milk from our 2 jerseys and guernsey cows.. picked up another 2 piglets last Saturday & hoping to dress 225 by January.. totally possible with milk, hay & hot mash.
I'm excited to see what your ladies dress
Congrats on the pigs.
Hi can I ask what does dress mean??
@@shazakaacutehugsenglish6215, Guts, head removed.
Good morning Lumnahs, Figaro, piggies, goats, doggies, and chickens... Poor Willow trying to look for some foam🤣 She's so mad at Al. The goats were having such fun with Olivia. Can't wait to see the rest of the work in the barn. I know you'll always do great work Al and Gina. Stay blessed 🤙
That cracks me up! Willow being leery of a change in her surroundings. Wonder how long until she gets comfortable again.
I agree. My father used to say "if it's worth doing it's worth doing well." Thanks for you example.
Love all your hard work!! I can watch you all day! A tip I saw somewhere else on UA-cam regarding your cracked tape measure.. If the crack isn't too deep, like maybe 1/8", use a pair of shears and cut out a shallow crescent that removes the crack and smooths the edge. You likely won't ever miss the missing markings or even a number. I had a brand new tape kink and crack on only the 2nd use. My fix has been there going on 6 years now.
I would still move chickens coop let them free range also love Blossom waiting for you and funny funny Willow it's also fun watching all of them in the pasture and watching how everyone of them learn and show Giant respect for Willow she is Boss B. THUMBS UP MY FRIENDS we are very impressed and happy subscribers Hi Gina said Olivia thumbs up my friends WOW so proud of Y'ALL
The trick on a scribe line cut is to tilt the blade say 20 degrees or so when you cut along the line the outside edge is all that will contact the mating surface. This makes it easy to fine tune the fit by sanding or planing just the very corner of the scribe cut.
If you fully free range the chucks then you will have no control over the area they scratch out and fertilise. Having them fenced in gives you that choice.
Chucks = Australian word for chickens
@@francesbruno8445 Isn't that "chooks"?
I'd keep them in the electric fencing. Same with some other comments, you still don't know what's attacked them in the past. Just because nothing has been back lately doesn't mean something won't return when there's fresh snowfall and little food in the woods to hunt. To add to that, that is a LOT of area that the chickens could wander, and they can very easily get through your gates you set up.
You only have one chance with the details look simply marvelous to me
Great wood working tips Al. PLace looks great.
It's nice to have chickens free range and eat up all of the bugs and weed seeds. We are going to get to 85 degrees today! A couple years ago I built a large run-in for our horses and started the project on September 1st. It was _VERY_ warm until the 1st of November. You just never know! I hear you on the "do it right" statement. I'm nearly to the point of putting on the rubber (flat) roof on our project, and I want to rush through and get it done -- but with flat roofs, that is not a good idea. Keep up the good work Al!
I roofed my House, I loved it. Went up there with a floor lamp and a radio. Worked long into the night. Oh I'm a Female!!
@@anitablades6033 - Kudos to you Am. Blades! 👍
Al the goats will bother the line on your new chicken door on New Yoke City.
It will probably freeze up in the winter anyway.
When you said "Most of us eat meat" I was like LOL I dont.But I still come everyday to watch,I even told my brother to start watching you because he really enjoys watching people build things.
"I just walk around, observing the subject from various angles until the picture elements arrange themselves into a composition that pleases my eye."
-- Andre Kertesz Great work, Al! As a perfectionist, where right angles are ALWAYS 90 degrees, you inspire us to do our best, too! Thank you! 👍👊❤️️
“Go be goats jump on a rock or 2”....lol that was funny
Just a thought you spoke of wishing you could have fenced in part of the rock wall for your goats, why not just move several big rocks onto their area?
The goats love the rocks so much could you move a couple of big ones inside the pasture for them? Willow is so funny, it probably smelt very different with all the pine on the walls now
The pros of keeping the chickens in the enclosure would be that you are able to focus their scratching/fertilizing/bug eating in controlled areas to help improve the soil, not to mention keep the goats from snacking on the chicken tractor and automatic door. If you do free range them, I heard they stay within a set distance from their coop, so you will still need to move the coop periodically to adjust their "territory". At least you will not need to rearrange the fencing each time! If a chicken gets outside the main fenced area, though, they may get confused as to how to get back in and wander the fence line.
Great job on the milking room! I free range my chickens. And I live in a area that has no shortage of predators. In fact, a neighbor down the road lost 10 chickens. This is my first year raising chickens.
Continued: I don’t clip their wings and I have a rooster that is very attentive. So, so far I haven’t had any problems (🤞)! Keep up the great work!
Id keep the chooks in the electric. You dont know whats attacking still and You dont need anyone else going how CWC went.
That's what I was thinking, CWC proved that was Not a Good Idea!!! If you do let them free range, anyone want to take odds. Ha
He isn't going to leave them out all night ...they will come to no harm so let them free range in the pasture. I think a more important project is to find a more suitable coup for the other flock. The need some shelter now it's getting colder
My folks had twenty-two hens and some roosters plus a turkey that coyotes took right out of the yard, not fifty feet from the house.
@@simonfreer7950 that coop did well for the 7 1/2 months of winter they had last year. You also need to remember that things take chickens even in broad daylight. While in the electric fence they are contained close to protection from overhead predators also. With the mobile coop they can all get under if there is a hawk about. Out freerangin in that full acre paddock... they will be too far from that over head attack protection
@@rosiec1974 The other flock were sheltered in the greenhouse all winter last year not in a chicken tractor.... they would not have survived if they had been. If a hawk was going to take one of Moose`s girls if would have done it already give them the range of the pasture. Andy and his girls did just fine free roaming
Keep them confined you will have the control over the area they work for you
Milking room looks super-cool! That's beat you, Willow! 😀
"An amazing life and just one bad day." made me laugh out loud.
Thanks Al ... I wouldn't be too concerned about gaps in your wood work ... eventually the eye doesn't recognize your concern ... and because of changes in temperature and humidity, the wood is constantly expanding and contracting. All-in All, your buildings look great. Thanks for sharing.
So cute all the goats playing on the spools! Say, I noticed with the shiplap up Willow's nose is too close and I bet she feels boxed in. Move the milking stand back a couple inches, I bet she won't balk then. ;)
It’s a fenced pasture, and they will return to roost on their own so let them be free.....My thought is to keep the electric chicken fence around the coop and close it for night....or second thought is to rotate NYC more ofter..once a week...
I must agree, when working, especially for yourself the time frame gets to be very flexible in most cases. It's far more important that you are happy with the work than anyone else. Being a perfectionist it's taken me a long time to through out time lines.
Are you planning to put any outlets in your milking room? I know now that the walls are done and insulated it makes it more difficult. Keep up the great work !
We know it sad but you gave the pigs a good life, but that is what they are for, they had good life till the end. I love the good ideal for dinners it helps me a lot of times thank you both.
Al, I heal nicks like paper cuts very fast. I just hold paper towel, or cotton swab with alcohol for a few minutes. In a day, or two, it will have healed over. Old Grandma remedy. Bless you, the family, and all the critters.
Or maybe Hydrogen Peroxide? or even cayenne pepper would cauterize it...& nothing wrong with a bandaid for 2-3 days...while you work.
A goat family that plays together stays together.
Wish I lived close enough to come make some trim with my new play toy, a router table. May I suggest flame finished pine for trim boards? Hit it lightly with a torch and wipe with a wet cloth.
The baby goats are surely getting big. They are almost the size of the adults.
Con: Sleeping poorly means waking up earlier than plannned. Pro: Getting to see the Lumnah menagerie hijinks when it is fresh and hot from the oven. Guuuuuuuuud mornin', Lumnah Acres!
I suffer from the same malady, Brian, but relish the first cup of coffee watching Lumnah Acres. 😍
Looks like it's time to clean out the chicken laying boxes with new woodchips or hay. Going to be missing the pigs, will you replace them before winter sets in? Have a great day.
Release the tiny dinosaurs!
Al, you had me worried when you reached over the still running table saw blade to catch your board. Please don't do that! I had a friend who lost a thumb just quick as can be, and he was an experienced carpenter. No board is worth losing a thumb!
Thomas Stordahl-Gregory ~ I gasped when that happened. My younger (guitar-playing) brother almost lost two fingers when he was a teenager, putting a chock of wood in a still-running saw to stop it so no one got hurt. It threw the wood across the room and the ends of two fingers went right into the blade. He was EXTREMELY lucky it only touched the ends, but he had a lot of healing to do.
I love those Goats..I was in Greece last summer camping in lovely Russian Bay surrounded by Pines and Old Ruins..one Morning I dreamt of Goats..I looked outside my tent and was surrounded by 20 goats and two sheep dogs that made their rounds there every day all by themselves..walking maybe a kilometer along the road to different places for food. evey day ...In Poros Island, the Greek farmers dont worry about the fate of their smart goats,
Good mauhnin Lumnah Acres! Sorry Al, All I know about chickens is zip! You know them and your area better than any of us. I know you will do what’s right for you!🤷♀️ the goats are loving all that space aren’t they! Glad you brought the spools down for them! Take care!
I think it would be better to keep the chicken fenced in and safer, i also think the goats would love some of the rocks brought into the paddock so the could jump and have fun on them to. Another great video thanks for sharing Al
When I had my buff Orpington chickens and it was winter I would give them good warm water and I was getting eggs clear through the winter. Plus I would mix warm water in the feed and give to them, it keeps the chickens warm inside them
Al greetings. I was wondering if solar power was in your future? Thanks for the vids...
Looking good al
Willow is so observant LOLOL what a hoot who would have thought LOLOL.
Your chickens and goats should be fine free ranging together. You shouldn't have problems with predators as they all come out mostly at night, which is when most predators decide to put on their Sunday clothes and eat your chickens and put them in their chicken graveyard - their stomachs. Also with your automatic door they can go to, plus it looks like there are lots of places to hide there. What a Beautiful spot you have there in New England the leaves are looking gorgeous a farm in the fall is truly a item of beauty. You are doing a great job on your milking barn. You are doing such a nice job - you are very smart to take your time and enjoy the processs than being a hot hurry we as your watchers enjoy it more and you are building something that your family may even enjoy for generations. - Ruthie & Clay
That's the shiniest cat. What are you feeding that sweet fellow?
I think you should try to free range them! And if it doesn’t work well you can always put the electric fence back up 😊I hunt and whenever we get something we always hang it for a few days.. it makes it more tender and easier to cut.. so I definitely agree with your choice to hang the piggies over night 🐷
Good job with the pine boards ( cancel my comment yesterday re Willow eating the foam )
Remember to run some wire for a receptacle by the milk bench area, to plug you vacuum pump into, Hide it in the workshop wall before you finish the walls in the workshop, then you wont need the extension cord. Somethin less to trip over or for the goats to chew !
Hi Al, with the big cable reels for the goats, fill them with sand or gravel and they won’t move in high winds. Just a thought. 🇬🇧👁
Milking room looks great! I would suggest you stay with the fenced in areas. More hassle but, I believe your chickens would be safer. However, you do what you think is best.
I think it is a great idea to free range the chickens. 👍
It's strange the predator hasn't been back. Usually they return after they are successful. Free Range is much easier but in your case maybe keeping them behind the electric fence is the best. GOOD LUCK‼️👍👍 Vinny 🇺🇸
I think you should keep the chickens fenced in so they stay safer!
Free Range often translates into 'Buffet.'
I used to let my chickens out on grass 2 hours before dusk. That way they stayed close to the coop and went back in when it was time. Maybe you could pull back a section of your elec. fence for the same each afternoon.
Hey Al,
Willow might have star airs, or just a bad day, Hahaha
Do your chicken all go inside before the door closes, or did you spot some left outside?
And building up a bigger rock pile would be great for the fun, even for the wear down of the hooves of the goats, I guess
The wild animals of this area of West Virginia are finding it hard to find food due to weather this summer. I would definitely keep the electric fence around the chickens. A motion sensor light at night would also make sense. I miss seeing CWC! She did it her way. RIP girl!
I hope Olivia and Gina’s Wild flowers come back next year. Y’all should have a tee-shirt with Hope on the rocks or all of the goats together on a rock. Al I think Willow didn’t eat because the newly installed wood panel didn’t give her enough head room. Take care.
Everything is looking great Al!
I think you ought to move NYC close to the gate for the winter and let them free range. Less shoveling for you later when the snow suddenly flies.
The chickens are gonna scratch the most wherever you feed them or on the freshest spot they can find. Just target them with food.
I didn’t grow up on a farm I grew up in city of Wichita but I had an aunt and uncle had a Farm and a right of passage for all of us nieces and nephews was that we had to go work the farm during the summer and then in the fall we had to help harvest meat. both chickens and hogs so we had to learn where our food came from
May I suggest that if you replace your tape measure, try the new ones that automatically lock the tape when pulled out, then press a button to release. As you say: "I like it". I got a 25 footer at Walmart for about $6, but the Dewalt branded one was about $9.
I recommend moving the milking sand 2 to 3 inches or more from the wall where the goat head is so Willow will be more cmfortable. You lost that space when the ship lap was attached to the wall
Yea, AL may be able to put the milking table facing the other door on other side of the room. So it'll still be in a similar position for Willow to hop on from the left side. I don't know, but it seems there might be more space to move the milker back a few inches, & the window is the only thing there. Where it's at now, the door is right there, & he wouldn't want to block that door from the milking room into the shop. just brain-storming about it........
I would move new yolk city next to the big fence, so you can put the electric fence around it and they'll have more space
Never noticed the wobbly milking stand, I sure notice the shim under one foot though. Milking room looks good.
Good morning Lumnah Acers time for another wonder week of videos
Al you have that shiplap looking good will you be doing that to your barn as well
Al, don’t release the chicks to the whole pasture! To much danger of predators! If need be, make their fence 50 or 100 ft larger, but keep the electrified fence up for sure!
