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!

**Yea it would be cool to hear about the homemade milking machine.**
Adorable first meeting with hope.
I'm a City guy, but I always enjoywatching your videos. See how other folks live, is interesting.
It's a pretty beautiful life.
It makes me Happy every time Al says good morning Crazy white chicken.Silly things make my day good!
I'm amazed how much work you do in one day.
Had to laugh at the flying goats.
Good morning! HOPE is such a beauty. I was surprised she is still able to get in the feeder. It was really nice seeing her interaction with, little p, Magie and little man. Man is little man getting big. I hope you and your family have a wonderful day. ☀️☀️ 🇨🇦
Great video as always! Thank you for making your videos as long as they are; it's better than watching a half hour TV show.
Some day Hope is going to climb in the hay feeder and not be able to get out :)
Lol
LOL I had that Exact same thought XD
How is it she even still fits!
Seeing 🌸🌷💖 HOPE 💖🌷🌸with the babies was magical
Yes!🤗🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤❤❤
Love watching the baby goats jump around. So cute.
Hey, Al, instead of gravel by the outdoor kitchen why not make it growing space for herbs? 😀
Probably wouldn't work too well just due to how the doors open up all the way and how they use it to park the tractor sometimes and offload things into the kitchen and all. Given how the doors open up all the way, they use that whole front of it for things, so only having that tiny bit that's currently cemented and having to worry all the time about not trodding on the herbs would probably get real old :)
You make everything look easy Al. Good Job brother! BTW, Instant Pot should pay you for all of us that purchased one based on watching you cook. Blessings to you and the lovely family.
Agreed, I got one. Lol
Gosh, it was wonderful to see Hope meet the little ones. She is by far, my favorite. Figaro, CWC, Tanner, Pluto, Moose, ducks, Pork and chop. I enjoy watching them all. And of course your family! Sending you all warm wishes. God bless!
Who needs a gym with all the work you’re doing!
Lots and lots of things happening on the homestead, love watching the progression of everything. The barn, goat, chickens.....Thanks Al and family for bringing us into your world!
It’s so funny how being a grandma type, I’m really rooting for you and Gina. I was so concerned about you having enough sand! Lol. Worried the weather is making it too late for your garden. I mean seriously, I don’t really know y’all
I can't believe how fast those baby goats have grown...they are beautiful and so clean. I love watching them jumping around just like Mexican jumping beans. Have a Blessed day.
I enjoy watching the chicken who is the last one out of the coop day after day. She is so laid back, doesn't want any of the hustle and bustle nonsense and often doesn't even head to where you're tossing the grain. She 's another independent spirit. Thanks for sharing the fun.
Kevin from @Weed 'em & Reap needs this milking contraption
David K. I don’t think their goats don’t like it I’m thinking I heard that
🤔🤣😂👍🏾
Lumnah Acres in the Springtime is breathtaking. All your hard work has paid off. Looks like a calendar farm now. Just beautiful. City girl loves your videos. And yes, more about the milking machine. And tell Weed em and Reap about it. Her hand milkers are going to be leaving the nest; she needs a new and easy method.
I like those milkers. Less gunk in the milk and almost impossible for the doe to kick over. YAY. Win win. And usually get more milk.
Goooood Morning all ! Looking great on the farm! Hope you work out the kinks on your little milking gadget... soon you'll be able to let your little girl do some milking over summer break.
The barn plan seems to be moving along nicely. Cant wait to see the finished product!
Enjoy spending time with your family through the videos. You bring a lot of joy to a lot of people and we really appreciate what you're doing. Best of wishes for you and your family and all that follow you. God Bless.
Just love watching those baby goats. Endless entertainment with their crazy antics. Thank you Lumnah Family! 👪🐩🐶🐖🐷🐔🐓🐤🐥🐱
Magnolia is the most beautiful goat I’ve ever seen! They’re all beautiful. Thanks for the videos, you do a great job. So excited for the new barn. Have a great day.
Can you show us the “tractor trail” behind the meat birds? I am curious how the grass regenerates behind the tractor.
Thanks. And good morning
WHAT THE HECK......No Figaro???
Nice work on the concrete and the sides.
He there
He was there at the measuring of the slab.lol checking things out.
Yep I missed him. He was there. LOL
It is fun to see the goats growing so quickly.
Great video as usual!
God bless you and your family.
You should name that chicken Indy as in Independence as that is the most independent chicken I've ever seen
Deyna Weatherly lol I got my blue Merle border collie 2 yrs ago July 3. I named him Indy for the same reason you just told Al. Love it.
I just can't hardly wait to see the barn go up Al! It is in such a beautiful spot on the homestead and you have picked a beautiful barn, thus why I can't wait to see it. All in good time, you are making great progress on getting the foundation done for it. Hope was cute with the baby goats, they will all be great companions some day soon.
Enjoying more every time I watch. Feel like i'm becoming part of the family. Not saying if I were much younger I would do it but at 74 its easy to sit here in my recliner and watch you young folks living your dreams here on RUclips. Keep it up.
Love to watch your morning chores, the antics of the animals, the progress on your barn!
Hi Al, everything is looking great for the new barn. I look forward everyday to your videos. You , your family and animals are my favorites. You work so hard and you are so sweet to your family and I love the way you talk and pet your animals. I wish you great success with your homestead. God bless .
Lydia needs one of those machines for her milking endeavours 🙂 Nifty little gadget. Love watching the morning tasks. Have a great day
Karilyn Jaquest first thing I said to myself. Lydia would rock that and maybe Tilly wouldn’t be so naughty.
It's "Liv" short for Olivia.
Tilly is also Hope’s mom.
Lydia is the queen at milking. It’s Kevin that needs any help he can get. 😄
@@Cscharmed I think it would give Tilly a run for money 🙂
I'm not a homesteader but I recommended your channel to some other homesteaders who were wanting to know how to do certain things. This channel is very organized and to me one of the best ones to watch. Your just a wonderful all around channel for anyone wanting to learn how to make things, build things, cook something, plant something or how to take care of animals. I enjoy watching everything going on with you guys so please keep up the good works. Thanks for sharing.
If you haven't already, please subscribe. We want Al to hit 100,000 subscribers.
Hope meeting with the baby goats was so adorable. Willow looking at you with the jar of milk like, "hey bring that back."
Wonder if CWC is free-range laying somewhere?
Small brown egg, either a really young hen or and old one.
Wish I had the land to do some of this. Thanks for sharing Al.
Excited to see how the barn is coming up !!!!!! Lot of hard work but executed so easily 👌🏽👌🏽
Hope: yay, I'm finally bigger than other goats! 😂❤️
I live in Ontario Oregon.
It is so amazing how to learn how to raise goats and chicken.
Hope your family is doing well.
You have great day
I was so depressed before I started watching your Video's...but , awhile back, I was almost to the end, where you always talk over while you're eating or something , and you said you had written a letter, and was reading it out loud, and at the end, you said " Thank you for everything you do ." or something like that,and you had never said that to yourself before...well...I hadn't either...but now, I do every single day !! I tell myself Thank you for being an honest and giving person ! And I feel so much better . Thank you Al...just for being such a positive, caring and inspiring human being :) God Bless !!
Enjoyed watching you milk Willow. Babies cute as usual. Can't wait for my chickens start laying. Didn't hear Moose this morning. Everything looks great! God Bless!
Actually, need the slide slaps to slope away from the barn so that any water runs off.
It's going to have a roof over them so there won't be any water on them.
@@clydeacor1911 rain doesn't always falls vertically and niether does snow. ;)
I'm sorry I haven't left a comment until now. My husband and I have been watching you guys for a while now and really enjoy your videos! I know what you are doing is a lot of work, so we appreciate your allowing us to tag along :) I talk to the animals like I'm right there..... and enjoy seeing the recipes you guys make for supper. We're from NC and yes, it's been pretty hot this past week. We had A LOT of rain during April, and now it's stopped. However, I think more rain coming in this weekend. We have a small garden, no animals, just 1 old cat :) You guys take care and blessings on you and to you :)
Here it is June, and we had a frost warning the other morning. I think this is going to be a short growing season.
Ugh. Are you in NH too?
NY state.
@@americannomad513 You have beautiful Autumns though. When I was a kid, my dad always use to take us to dude ranches (Rocking Horse, Big Vanilla) and we just loved it up there. But that was during the summer months.
So stinkin' cute the first meeting of the babies with Hope. I think they were more interested in her than she of them. Hope is bigger than someone else! So excited for you with the barn building.
I eat breakfast watching you guys. I bought a garage in a box and followed your instructional video on making it into a multi-purpose shelter. We are deciding what we will use it for first since we are just getting started building our own homestead. I believe it will be chickens. Thank you for taking the time to video when you are doing projects. I am learning a lot and one project at a time we are getting things prepared and set up. I am going to be working on a chicken tractor next with the rain watering systems. Be Blessed!
WoW How did miss Hope get into the feeding bin? I know a couple of weeks ago she could not get in there...The kids are s darling as well as Hope. I am glad to see that you are getting progress to your barn. I was so happy to see Hope in with the little ones, It sure was funny to watch them running around so fast!
Yay! Hope together with the babies!!! I’ve been looking forward to this so much! ❤️💗💕
I was worried Willow was gonna go bonkers on Hope.
Instead of gravel for the fill in of the outdoor kitchen front area, why not make mini raised beds on each side of the door for Gina & Olivia to put flowers & herbs in? It would make a pretty area for the front of the outdoor kitchen.
Hi Al. I can see why you opted to work at home. You are accomplishing your projects at a fraction of the cost, to your satisfaction. I hope you consider remaining on this homestead, to enjoy for many years. We started over and it was physically taxing on us to say the least... We are spending some of are valuable years rebuilding instead of relaxing and enjoying!
Hey Al, instead of filling in the area with gravel around the apron you just poured in front of the outdoor kitchen, why not instead plant up the areas? You could either do a little flower bed or fill it in with something for winter interest, like a compact spruce (which you could decorate with Christmas lights) and trim the area with a small sprinter boxwood hedge (they're small: 2 feet high and wide)? Or, you could put two large container pots and either fill it with annuals (food or herbaceous annuals) or something permanent but hardy for your zone.
Looking good !
Cant wait to see the Barn go up...
That was cute, Hope meeting the little ones💕
I opened video at 8.30pm Australian eastern time on June 6th . Glad to see the barn slab . Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the critter fun time. We want some steady weather up here too. Bless you all.
Glad the milking jar will be a help. The two sides of concrete will provide so much more space.
Yea it’s going to be a nice size barn once it’s all done
Great video. The milker does great. Willow doesn’t mind it at all. Enjoy the barn construction and all the animals. Love your family. God bless
Did your hands get tired pumping the bulb? Will you have an old fashioned barn raising when it comes to putting it up? Looking forward to see what your plans are.
I used a milker just like that for a couple of years, but over time the constant suction without pulsating can do damage to the teat and udder. I saved and bought a Caprilite milking machine and it’s so worth the money.
This is definitely a concern. One of my does actually lost half her udder, no proof it was for sure from using this milker but the vet sure thought that was the reason. Please be careful.
That hand milker looks interesting. More please.
You are a good man Al, I am so proud of you and your family.
Such a fun video! The barn is getting that much closer! You will be able to have your whole farm in your barn! It is going to be awesome! I know those muscles must be sore, and it didn't help with what you did today. They will be sore tomorrow as well. lol The goats are so entertaining! I hope that when Olivia grows up that she realizes how much work the two of you have put into the homestead, and perhaps she will carry the tradition on. :-) Great video, Al!
Nah !~ Farm girls will prefer to run and live in city when they get opportunity to.
Must have been "pick on the chickens" day--Almost squished one with the chicken tractor ("I asked you if you were ready"!!) and then one crashes into the camera trying to get to the feed--ouch, babe... The cement slab turned out really well, love that drone shot. It was fun to see Hope interact with the babies.
I saw a homeade milking machine where they bought an electrict pump ( battery) from Walmart. It was so easy. I could milk lots of goats with that thing. Yours reminds me of a blood pressure monitor.
Don't forget to add gutters in both sides of your barn to catch rain water for your animals! Maybe put a big tank, up high, so it will gravity feed to them like at New Yolk City (see I learned!). And add a bucket potty, like at your outdoor kitchen, so you don't have to run all the way back to the house when you need to "go."
That was good thinking about the front of the outdoor kitchen.
Waist not want not.

You work so hard; no wonder your arms hurt. Thanks for the sharing the great drone footage. Really enjoy seeing how it all comes together. Babies are getting big. Bless you, Gina, Olivia, and all the critters.
And all that raking he did today. There's one thing Al doesn't need: a gym membership. Heh.
Watching you build stuff is so enjoyable! You make it look so easy
Good morning Al! I can’t wait to see what your plans are for the barn layout. I know that you are going to put animal pens in the side overhangs and probably make the center part your workshop and maybe hay storage up above but I’d love to hear exactly what the plans are at this point.
Would love to see how you made the milker. That is going to be a fine barn when y’all get done!
I think "little man 🐐" is in love with Hope 💙😂 hahaha
That would be a interesting combination. But hope needs another year I think before she can have babies. Idk if Al will keep little man for that long. But who knows? Maybe he will.
i had said to my daughter yesterday, that , i bet his arms are going to be really sore tomorrow, when you said that i laughed, not at your soreness, but that i had said that, feel better, i know what sore arms really feels like. God Bless you and your wonderful family. lol
We are in Woodruff, SC. The last 2 weeks high temps have been above 95 degrees...finally back to normal...high 80’s.
You should plant flowers on either side of the kitchen OH or herbs
I keep forgetting...you might want to put a snap clip on the door latch for the kids pen. Having rotties for 30 years I learned that these latches are too easy to be lifted and escapes can happen. I used the double clips. Funny I have to do the same with the westies, they can lift the latch, but on purpose!
Thank you AL for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden .So keep it up for your new construction 👨👩👧👸👕👓🐩🐔🐓🐥🐈🐕🐖🐐🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
Yep, it's been in the mid to high 90s here in NC, but I just got my first pepper harvest yesterday morning which is a plus.
Your quotes inspire me to make a difference in someones day EVERY DAY. Thank you So Much for inspiring us to be better people
good day to you Al, Gina & Olivia !! thanks for sharing another awesome update and adventures on & off the homestead !! 👨🌾🎥👍✝
Good Mornin from Pennsylvania and Al & Gina it's been cold here like that too crazy weather! Homestead is looking great all the animals are getting so big love that Hope was finally in with the little ones just love watching your videos❤
I am so impressed with your building skills!
Sounds like Moose has a replacement. Those black copper marans are really pretty roosters. Mine is about three months old, he’s got some really nice colors in his feathers. So far he’s nice, we’ll see when he matures if he still is. Thanks for sharing. Take care, see ya :)
It hasn't been anywhere near the 90s in the Northwest corner of NC in the High Country. We had 2 days in the last 2 weeks that bumped the 80 mark but otherwise it has been in the 60/70s. We have had 6.5" of rain in the last two days. Rivers exploding and bridges under water. Not supposed to stop raining till Tuesday. I love that milking machine! I'd love to know how you made it! Blessings to all!
Oh i love the baby goats. Hope did really well with them. They are growing so fast. Im so glad i found your channel. I really enjoying watching and watching each of the animals grow and how fun they can be.
The property look beautiful! Ferns, flowering trees and leaves and green grass. I know your excited.
Thank you so much! The milker is so interesting please show more as you go.
Good morning 🌞
You guys done awesome 👍 job pouring that Concrete on yesterday looking much better u done a beautiful job with that tracker 👍 she not giving u all her milk. Hope done got so big. I don't be knowing who's who no more. Enjoy your day
I have never seen such a milking machine. Our ladies are milked by a Lely Milk Robot. Take good care of the teats and try to see how fast the sucking goes by putting your finger in the cup and milking for a moment. Then you know what it feels like and whether it hurts. And if the babies do not drink anymore, it is wise to dip the teats. These are just tips I don't know any better. I am a farmer's daughter and married to a farmer and I studied agriculture. But I still learn so much from you about the Goats and how you farm . I love it.
The Milker, well, cleaning the hoses won’t be fun... I’m excited for you to get the barn up! The tiny egg was adorable. It’s cold here too and rainy. God bless!
Good Morning Al The barn is going to be a great addition to the farm. Boy Hope sure showed her stuff in with the babies lol she was queen. Oh yeah grest milker...have a great day Al..
That milking machine looks to be an arm saver. 😀 plus you get more milk. Love all your goats. Too cute. Work smarter not harder.
You really work smart! Good Morning. ♥️☺️🕊🙏🌞
As my husband told me when I was moving mulch, think of it as peas on a plate, don't chase the pea off the edge of the plate, come from the other side and pull the peas into the middle of the plate. He was telling me to raise the bucket and go behind the pile backing up the tractor and pulling it forward. Then you can get a full scoop with pushing the pile backward when it slides down the back side. LOL
You are one of the most cheerful people in the morning that I know & have almost four hours of work DONE ✅ before I even open my eyes...east/west coast time difference...& even then, I’m not THAT happy until my first coffee ☕️!!!
You & your lovely 😊 family are so uplifting!’
Question: Don’t you need ‘spacers’ in the concrete, like sidewalks, to compensate for the contraction/expansion during cold/hot wx????
It's nice to see Pluto running and jumping around again. She must have been tired of the cold winter. You're only raising 25+ chickens this year, or will you raise another batch in a few months? Will that be enough for a whole year?
they have mini dinosaur sized pigs too !
I love your channel and I watched Hope being born and I’m happy to c her grow up ❤️❤️
The meat bird tractor. Try putting a long branch or board on top of the bottom horizontal boards, across the back just in front of the vertical boards. This would make a "sweeper" elevated enough to push the meat birds forward as you drag the tractor without catching them underneath.
Moose is quite today,don't rush on the outdoor kitchen gravel,might have some extra concrete. Rain here an cold too in Northern Maine, people holding off garden planting.
I have the Mahindra 28 and it is so enjoyable to use it to lift, push, etc.. Therapy!!
couple flower beds would look good in front of the outdoor kitchen. Love them goats also.
we ran these as well but just above your jar add in a tee and run another hose so you can do both teets at once.
Would love to see a video on how to build that new milker. What a great way to get clean milk!
Love your channel. We watch every day.
Best day ever! Hope comes to play!
