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!

Watching you open these then and knowing what you use now, gives me an idea of what's bright and shiny and what's useful.
Looks at mom "Here put your teet in there"
Her face was priceless.
I appreciate the hard work you do in, not only maintaining a homestead, but in doing daily content. Love your videos, thanks for the hard work.
I think you can just about tell by Olivia's ear to ear smile she really can't wait for the goats.
Olivias laugh poping the packaging was great made me smile lol!
🤣 😂 when Olivia turns to Gina and says put your fi, put your teat in here! 😊 That is one excited young lady looking forward to milking those goats!
LOL
Olivia looks more and more like her mother every day. Her personality has really been showing a lot as of late too. She always puts a smile on my face. You have a lovely family.
Chris Ditto!
Love watching your videos
I don't have my own home or farm yet but I like watching this
Good morning, good to see the progress on the goat barn! Love getting to see you and Gina doing team work!
That's like us, day after day after day of rain. The squash are starting to get mildew on their leaves. Have a Blessed Day!
Wow, you’re getting lots of rain! I’m laughing because my 8-year-old always cheers for the “pop” from packaging.
Love your videos. You make building stuff look so easy. When I try to build, it looks like a 6yr old did it lol
He's inspired me to try building things too. And I'm a 65 yo spoiled brat. Never even picked up a screwdriver before. Now I have my own cordless drill/driver, skill saw, dewalt table saw and yesterday I got a miter saw and stand!! I'm rockin!
Al you are so patient with Gina! Looking good!!
wow i miss spring/summer i watch this video again and its -37 outside right now in northeast Minnesota
Great vlog today !! 🐐🐐🐐🐐
“Put your teet in here” Olivia is hilarious. LOL!! Can’t wait too see the goats! XOXOXOXO
The barn is looking really good, love the rustic look from the wood. Also like how you cut the wood to size right at the pile. Efficiency rules! Excellent job with the screw gun Gina, you go girl!
Gaauud Mawnin Lumnah Acres! Still plenty of "lumbah in the Lumnah yard"! Great job on the goat barn, you are really creative when it comes to repurposing things on your Homestead. Showers and cool here and the 'yo-yo' weather pattern continues!? You are such a Blessed family to watch. I hope you get sunshine today for finishing the goat barn our planting the garden. God Bless
Dennis St.Germaine Ditto!
Nice job on the little barn.
Have a wonderful day today all day long morning Mr. Biggs love hearing you. Another wonderful day around the 🏡 homestead. Have a beautiful day today. Hi Gina and Olivia. ☁⛅🏡🐷🐷🐕🐓🐔🐈👍👍
great place for the Kubota
Thank you AL for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden I love to watch your video bye 👋 bye 👋 👨👩👧👸👕👓🐩🐈🐔🐓🐥🐕🐖🐐🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
I love the wood on the goat barn, it's gorgeous! Everything is lookin' good! ~~Leslie
Indeed.🇺🇸🕊🇺🇸🇺🇸
Avalon Acres Farm yes that's what I was gonna say! Love it so natural anr beautiful! Need to make some of them natural moss wall hangings one would be even more beautiful on the side of the goat barn. They would actually look good in a lot of places around your farm!
I like the look of that wood. I know it's been sittin around a bit, but the weathering on it is nice.
al, you may want to think of a keyhole feeder. With that net type of hay feeder you will loose a lot of hay. Keyhole feeders will reall keep the loss of hay way down. Have a great Memorial Day. God bless those who gave their all. God bless America. The barn is looking very nice.
I have seen and heard too many horror stories of goats hanging themselves with net feeders. Better to build one yourself Al with some scrap lumber and some 4x2 or 4x4 goat fencing.
Gina nice to see you helping out brill, Nice to see it slowly coming together. Goat coming then sheep then a cow. Keep it up love watching 90% off you.
Same wavelength - BEAT THE RAIN!!! ....I was out before 6 a.m, working with the chickens and now onto my gardens. FUN WORK - Happy Memorial Day Weekend to you, your family & your viewers. Everyone ENJOY 😉👍
Good morning Lumnahs! Your chickens are having fun exploring the wood piles left behind..... have a great Memorial Day 😃
Gotta love these genuine Modern HomeSteaders!!!
I like the goat Barn got to be comfortable there when you get done with the pastor
Looks like the goats will need to find a new home..the kubota loiks rather comfy in there.😂😂
🌻Have a beautiful day and a better tomorrow🌻
I am so excited for your goats!! I think someday I want lambs cause I'm a fiber worker and I think goats are a little to crazy for me lol! I really enjoy your guys videos thanks for sharing! I loved when you guys was opwning stuff Olivia is hillarious and we got to see her humour!
Great job Brace you’re self for goats 🐐😂😂😂😂😂👍
Who's more excited about the goats coming Olivia or you?????
I think its a toss up! :)
I'm enjoying your journey so much :) Thank You.. Murphy
Nice job ! Sausage & links have really grown this week !
awesome Family time that was cute with the unboxing.
Good morning have a blessed day...✌🏿
Everything is looking good Al !
The goat barn is looking good. I like how you have offset the skylights. I also think harvesting the rain water will be great for the goats.
Morning sir.....happy memorial day.....love the Barn idea. I have a frame like that
Blessings brother to you n the fam
It was nice of you to organise all those logs for the chookies to play and roost on 🐔🐓 The hot pink feeder and hay net look pretty. Looks like it could be more a goat boudoir rather than a goat shed. Either way there is no harm in having a little fun and colour in your life. Have a great day
Great Video!
Happy Holiday Ya'll. Hugs
Thank you Lumnah's for another exiting video. :)
Love the video.
Love the hot pink! Great job on barn side looks nice!!
Love your videos!
You may want to reconsider the hay net. Goats and hay nets typically don't mix well. You'll lose a lot of hay, but more importantly, goats are bad for getting tangled in nets like that. At best, the net will get broken, but you may also end up with an injured goat.
If your goats don't have horns, the metal cages around those square water tanks you have make great hay feeders for goats, so maybe you could use one of those and not have to buy something else!
You need a ATV pickup to get around, haul items and pull a wagon.
Looking at the structure I think you should add some diagonal bracing at the back of the shed and possibly at the front as well. It would make it more sturdy if you get another microburst.
YEAH GINA!!! Ranch dressing on your fries!!! I knew I liked you for a reason. LOL!!
I just got back from Portland at the the airport and its showers down there.. Chickens look great.. Things are looking good.... Keep up the good work...
Great video . . . the battery circular saw, is some handy . . .
This is sort of shutting the door after the goats ran out, but you should have set a two by flat on the ground when installing your siding boards. This would have kept your siding off the ground and gave you an even spacing on your siding. Then you just pick up the two by and use it in some other project. The barn does look good.
It's interesting to see what you really don't use for the goats.
Looks like Sausage and Links are running low on bedding, they like to hunker down under the straw (or hay).
The goat shed is looking good, can't wait to see the other side on and finished.
Look up PVC pipe rain gutters, you'll like it
Hey buddy, that white rooster with black tail is limping. The one we didn't named.
Also just had a thought you should partition the goat barn. Like maternity stall, for separating kids during kid sharing. You should order mineral feeders.
Thank you.
G'Morning Al...with the chickens running all over it sure looks more like a farm....fast work on the barn...maybe you could've added a bit more length to keep the kabota😊....pigs looking lovely...Sure fun to see the 'girls' excited over the 'goat accessories'...Enjoy the rain have a good day...bye✌🏼🌱🐥🐄🐐😊
I checked the link it works this is a cool thing to have NO hands LOL
I have the same dipper!!!
Morning Modern steaders. The goat shelter looks to be coming along great. I wish I could get my hands on some of that rough cut barn board. I love the traditional look of it. I had to build a coop addition this weekend and made a new roof for the goat shelter. Looks like we had pretty similar weather. I was dodging raindrops and "helpful" goats the whole time. Have you thought about getting honeybees Al?
I was curious about how you built your goat barn...
Hard to believe the difference in the Acres in 15 month!!
☮
Olivia seems to be excited about getting the goats. Hey how is the cooler in the basement working since it warmed up? Nice seeing you all together. Thanks for sharing.
When are the guys coming back to remove the stumps? i want to see what kind of equipment is used for that. The goat barn is starting to come together. awesome. its gonna be so cool.
Hopefully this week
I'm pretty sure i's too late since it's already Monday in the real world, but, what do you think of using double walled greenhouse panels to make a long window along the side. That way you have even more daylight for milking and for the goats when the weather is bad? Plus you can look in and see what's going on with the goats and they can look out.
I think he's counting on the siding boards to add strength to the structure. He'd loose that if he put in long windows. Don't underestimate the amount of light the skylights let in. I have 2 2x5' skylights in a 20x38' building and I never need lights in there unless it's dark outside.
I agree that the skylights let in lots of light, but mostly all you can see is the sky. I'm thinking that he could mount the window on the outside surface along the width, maybe placing a board top to bottom in the center to control any flexing. the front and back would have boards as well as the 2/3 below or above and below the window depending on how high the window was placed.
I'm not sure you'd ever need it in New England, but windows that could slide like the ones in the outdoor kitchen would help with cross ventilation on hot summer days too. But I'm sure you're right. Too late now anyway.
On a different note, I like your name. We have up to Hugh IV in the family.
Hearing the pigs chew made me think of the commercial where someone is noisily eating a hamburger and the voice over says don't bother me I'm eating. Then you commented about how noisy the pigs can eat at times.
The piggies are so cute and seem to have good builds so far. What breed are they again? We are looking for a good bacon/meat pig suitable for the south ( we live in South Carolina).
what is the floor of the goat barn made of? Love how creative you are.....
The floor in this barn i used sand
Those chickens in the background look like they are heading for an attack.
I love all the pink for the girls.
Good morning, Just curious if you had some of the logs saved out to make lumber for your barn?
Did you hit the gym before this video Al? Looked like you had a good pump going while cutting that lumber. Great use of a old shelter to make a new on as well :)
No bugs they have been crazy here in Bangor, Me, are you concerned about frost up heaving the siding on goat barn.
Lol Put your teet in here? I laughed so loud
Are those thin tubing rails going to be able to support all that weight, especially when you have a big snow storm?
It's no accident the Kabota fits perfect in there. With the barn I'm guessing Joel Salatin style. A fodder feed system eliminates the need for hay in the winter. Can you get wood chips on demand like justin? The lumber yard recycling is the best. Use of a temporary to permanent structure is genius. I would coat the bottoms of some treated 4x4 concrete them in at all 4 corners and the center outside. Put in a center brace concrete base you can insert a metal pole in the center for snow load in the winter. The heat from the animals should keep it clean. I see the water collection totes staged. I hope you get a sow from Mark Baker. $750.00 they are bred. 10 in a batch avg means you can presell, change 50% of your expected harvest weight, hold more harvest classes with those returning to finish the job saving up to $2.50 a pound butcher and smoking expense. Then compare the savings to real pasture and woods raised organic pork. Straus brand is exploding. They contract with pasture grazed non gmo feed animals. You have to grow at least 1 truckload. 40,000. Pounds. 25 head of red Angus mob grazed in the new and old pasture means 25 tons of fertilizer a month deposited right where you want it. Stockpile the field hay cows will get it into the beginning of winter. It would be great if you had about a 15 foot hill to access the area above the animals and drop fodder ot hay into feeding chutes. Gravity helps. I see the compost and manure bins on a slab to keep any runoff contained and your ag inspectors happy. With all the regulation on the little guys how in the world can lagoons be anywhere near water supply, lakes or rivers.? Medicated gmo feed means medicated, gmo plus glycophaste (roujdup) unsafe ponds that wreck the environment. America is voting with there purchases. Safe food is an easy choice for those that can afford it. Hemp would be the only and best crop to plant. 3x better than corn for ethanol, flowers for medicine, insulation and shiv for hempcrete to slipform insulate any building. Just add lime, minerals, water and hemp schiv after decortication mobile onsite. Buid instead of haying. The 4x4 posts inside are the connectors for the boards hung horizontally. Its waterproof, insulated, mold and bug or mouse free. It dried and cured to petrified wood. Adds strength and weight for wind resistance. Would put concrete to shame. Ceiling gets the fiber for natural insulation. The sheepmajall is born.
Ed Deetz Wow, that's alot!
Third and its only 3:15 am
What kind of framing is that? Tell us about the frame you put up for this building. Thanks
Goood Mawnin' Al! Hey, I have a special request! In your future videos whenever Olivia is in frame, could you please edit the video to play in slow motion? Olivia is growing up too fast! She looks like such a princess with her long hair and beautiful smile!:-) Oh, boy Al, you're gonna be chasing those boys away! Great stuff in the mail, looks like you are on the way to goat husbandry too! Have fun and good luck. Enjoy your holiday weekend....
Giving you the benefit of the doubt, you probably don't mean it this way, but your comment is a little creepy their dude. Not very appropriate.
Rick Breton Maybe you're just thinking the wrong way, dude!
No, it sounds very creepy.
Regardless, The comment is still disrespectful, unnecessary and inappropriate. Good luck growing your channel making comments like that.
Al, you understand, I'm a retired teacher that has dealt with people that take things in many wrong ways, this was as innocent as it is meant to be. For anyone that has watched a child grow it is truly amazing how one day all you do is blink and suddenly those little kids are all grown up!
I hope someone can answer this. What kind of frame did he use for the goats home. Was it a portable garage frame or did he put it together with pvc pipe? I think that is a great idea to enclose in.
I'm trying out my untested construction skills here but your question is mostly about shopping and I'm pretty good at that.
The frame is from a temporary portable type garage. They're made of light weight pipe and come in a box. You can buy them on line or maybe farm or big box type stores. First you have to put them together IKEA style. There's a "canvas" cover that you pull over the whole thing and secure with ties or screws. Voila! garage.
Problem is they don't weigh much and might blow over or away in a really bad storm. Also the cover wears out and gets leaky holes in it, so they don't last many years. So in this case Al attached wood to the frame, I think by just drilling a hole for the screw. If he didn't do this the frame would not be strong enough for the rest of the materials. Then presto, he just built it into a goat barn. You can see another frame like this here. permies.com/t/59017/Lumnah-Acres-Homestead
Hopefully my answer is fairly correct but if not maybe someone else will help us both out with better information.
👍 👍
Al why not use a sizable amount of the trees to make lumber for future use?
How about saving the wood chips to make the best possible soil for the Lumnah Acres veggie and fruit production???
Brian Curwick that’s what I was thinking is for them to see if they could use some of the logs from the trees that were cut down
Brian Curwick I think part of the deal with getting land cleared is that it’s paid for with the lumber they clear. Al isn’t having to pay them a bunch of money because the logging company takes the logs and sells them. Al might make a little money from it but I don’t think he’ll have the lumber
Crystal Stump
Several HomeSteaders have milled their own lumber,
It is MUCH CHEAPER than Cheaper Depot!
The Permaculture culture and basically Al’s is to return the land to a much better condition which is usually by mulching and composting but especially with wood chips.
It is also MUCH CHEAPER to obtain the wood chips from these guys than other outlets!
Brian Curwick Good point! Funny, I didn’t even consider purchasing wood chips that way! Thanks for the info 😊
Crystal Stump
There were two 48’ tractor trailers nearly full
It is cheaper for them to sell to him as they save money on transportation!
Al, were you in construction in a past life?
Mostly self taught
Those pigs are getting big
Second !
vous mettez pas de lasure sur vos planches
Hey Al from Illinois here, hey I would love to connect with you I shared and still have some of the struggles you have spoken about why you do what you do. Would love to chat sometime is that possible? Also have some goodies id like to send you from our farm
PM me on UA-cam FB or Instagram
Looks great but why screws for siding? Those exterior screws cost a fortune. Wouldn't a nail gun save you hundreds of dollars a year on your projects?
we dont have electricity down to the barn, screws are more convenient
And more permanent. Won’t flex near as much with the wind and weather. Especially with exposure to the elements!
that's not how you milk a goat!! Look it up on UA-cam Dude!!
First
