    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!

    I know you must have bear spray and protection with you as you explore your new land. You are very protective of your girls and yourself. Most animals will run from people, if given the chance.

    22:50 Al, you can stop the beavers from plugging the culvert by putting in a smaller pipe that juts out a ways into the upstream water, below the water level. The beavers will patch up all around the culvert but there will still be the pipe for water to go through. Source: An old-timey wilderness book by Bradford Angier (forget which one)

    If you go with selling some of the timber off of it, get a timber agent. They will make sure those who cut the property only take the right trees, don't leave a mess, and get the most dollar for your large trees. Troy at Red Tool House farm has a video on how he did it with his 200 acres and had it pay for over half of the cost that he paid for his land. Congrats on the purchase, and carry some protection from bears and other predators in that much property.

It has been FIVE years, but we cleared it, built ponds, fenced the entire property, built a house, planted pasture, built a greenhouse...we are close to being self-sufficient. It is exciting. Expensive, though. First generation farms are a huge endeavor. The first thing we learned, we needed a BIGGER tractor. Hahaha!

    Congratulations on getting this property! I'm seeing a trespassing nightmare though. I have 70 acres and can't keep poachers/trespassers off my property. I can only imagine the task expanded to 500 acres!
    Names: "Heaven's Landing", "Lumnah Acres" (why change a good thing!), "Beavers-Are-Us!😂", "Blessed Acres", "BrookLand (Brooklyn)".
    You've got several years worth of Christmas trees there for sure.
    A tip would be to build your house as close to a healthy spring as you can. My house is right next to one of our springs and friends come all the time to take some of the water. The water has been supplying a house since at least 1900 and it is pure as God made it. We get about 6 gallons a minute.
    On our property you can hear trucks engine breaking on the road but the house is about 1200' from the road and what you do hear all over the property is our stream. When we get heavy rain you can hear boulders crashing down it. It roars like a freight train.
    You might want to look into some software that can help you map out your land and plan the layout. I found this one (www.agriwebb.com/au/features/farm-mapping-software/) but there are many more.
    Blessings to all.

    I just watched a PBS Nature program called "Leave it to Beavers" and the state parks had the same issue. They put smaller culverts on the bottom and let the beaver build on top. The water can flow quietly and the beaver don't hear the flow so win-win. Hope this helps.

    I generally avoid reading the comments but scanned them this morning. As usual there is a mix of cheerful greetings from around world, well wishes, thoughtful suggestions and the smattering of know it alls, the jealous, the (f)armchair quarterbacks and assumption makers. I for one know nothing about Al, Gina and Olivia other than the 20 or so edited minutes of their lives that I watch was most mornings. I enjoy their content most mornings while I have my coffee, especially the building projects. I appreciate that they take the time to make and share their videos that allow me to "homestead" vicariously through them. Thanks.

    Beavers dam where they hear water, it's the sound of falls that attract them. There is a company that produces a "dampener" for culverts which reduce the sound so beavers aren't tempted to block them up. This new property will be endless years of free Christmas trees. Great news and so happy for you.

It was pretty cool.

    I'm going to have to find the video, but there's a short documentary on the use of brook sounds to get beavers to move to other areas. It's a cool technique, and given how beavers can help you maintain your land should they be in the right area, will be useful to you in the future.
