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!

Like others, I like Lumnah acres. Historically in years to come, every one in the community will always know that the first family that homesteaded there were the Lumnahs, and refere to it as so.
They are definitely NOT the first to settle the current Lumnah Acres. There was actually a home already on the property which had burned and there are several neighbors adjacent. As for the new property, Al said it was a wood lot originally.
Much like Al's friend, Morgan Gold. The locals still know Gold Shaw Farm as the old Shaw place.
The Lumnah 500 Acres Homestead would be a cool name.
Al, at Beaver Creek Homestead, "i didn't bring enough 2x4's." LOL Al, you are human after all! I was beginning to think you were superman and never made any mistakes. Gina is a blessed woman to have you and you are a blessed man to have her. Olivia is the biggest blessing of all!
I am a Winnie The Pooh fan. "The 500 Acre Wood"
Hello The Pooh fan
Pooh Acres?
The name Lumnah Acres is still a perfect name for the new property. If you are going to build a rental cabin somewhere, I would name that section Lumnah Retreat or Lumnah Refuge. Maybe Olivia could give names to some areas like the pond or a meadow or certain wooded areas or different roads you will make over time, depending on your plans for the property. So much happening in your future! Smart man.
for those beavers id do this: open up the dam put in a long pipe so that if they plug it up again the water will still flow i seen people do that before and that seems to work
This is something that from knowing nothing about beavers and a huge fan of permaculture sounds the most ecologically successful most humane and helps keep things under control
Super idea!!!
That's a great idea!
Yes because they cannot hear the rushing water sound, that is the main thing that triggers them to build dams
I know you have heard this a million times but you bring me so much peace each afternoon as I watch your progress. Thanks
With it being so cold there, what about putting a small heater in the outhouse? I think you could get completly warmed up in there. A small table and chair for Olivia to home school or to eat lunch. I think that would be perfectly alright for that since you will have a composting toilet. If you put up shelves you could curtain around the toilet. You could even have a dry sink. Probably need rat traps. LOL
I love watching you first thing in the morning. Never a dull moment. I was thinking this morning that Gina has so much to do and still she helps with all the builds. She is getting to be such a carpenter. She gets the award of being the chief bottle-washer, cook, farmer, and carpenter also wife and mother.
I was wondering what beaver pelts go for these days.
PEACEFUL ACRES seems appropriate because you and Gina both felt peaceful in the first video, when coming to the new property. God bless and keep safe and healthy all who enter in these acres.
Yep. Winter is coming. Everything is looking great. You guys really make my day better. Have a great day.
Would love to see the gam cam photos
Can’t see them with the glare from sun
Thanks enjoy watching your videos
Beautiful family
I liked the part where the site supervisor (Olivia) turned up to inspect the work. Puts one leg up @21:34 and exchanged a few moral boosting pleasantries with the workers. When she was satisfied with the progress made she then retreated to the comfort of her office 😁. She's a good #BossLady 👍
She popped💥 out of there with the magic of editing. Missed it the first time.
You may think about buying a shipping container use it for dry storage to lock all your stuff up i.e. generators extra lumber tools. And then sell it when you’ve got your first storage building up. It will save you a lot of headaches.
He could keep the Shipping container for storage even after he builds a house and barns on the property. just add some insulation and electricity and lighting fixtures to help keep it from getting too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer and the lights so he can see where things are at in there. lol
Or could use the shipping container to build a house off of or a barn off of.
How about "The Woodlands" later it could be Lumnah Woodlands Homestead. The build is going well and when you put the level of the bottom of the fire pit I thought for sure it would be way off instead of level. The camera angle makes it look like it is going downhill. Have a Blessed day. BTW Gina, you have the Lasagna down to a science...exactly enough to fill that dish and not a drop more. Looked delicious as always.
Lumnah Adventure Land is the name I suggest for The Property. I think it captures the infinite possibilities the new property opens up for you guys.
I put ceramic eggs in my nesting boxes. They lay better and always in the boxes. You might want to try it. 😍
Hi all...Just so exciting as this unfolds....Thanks guys for taking us along...
The Annex, until the day you hang a sign over the gate.
Then surprise us all
This is the best idea yet...
Lumnah Acres is such a good name and you & Gina have built it into a brand, you don't want to dilute it or confuse potential followers. Perhaps name the new property Lumnah Acres North-East-South-West ( whichever direction it is from LA). Later if/when you sell LA the new buyers will change the name to make it theirs, so then the new property becomes Lumnah Acres. David Chamberlain, down thread suggested The Annex...that's really good too, and will dovetail nicely into LA later. I worked in marketing for years and K.I.S.S. always applies, cos the public generally has the attention span of a newt.😁
Call it Ashdown from Ashdown Forest in England where the 500 Acre Wood is that inspired the Hundred Acre Wood from Winnie the pooh and friends story.
Al, You build everything like furniture. Just a little extra time sure makes a difference.
Lumnah Acres says it "all". You can go buy another 500 acres & it will still be Lumnah Acres. No matter what, you can't get out of it! Your Lumnah. hehe. A Rose by any other name would smell as sweet. If you purchase an additional 100 acres, it's still Lumnah Acres. Why? Your Al Lumnah. Have a nice day folks! Love you guys a ton!
This makes a lot of sense
Lumnah Acres sounds great. I hope he uses it.
The Forestry department has a pdf that you might find interesting... "USDA How to Keep Beavers From Plugging Culverts"
Does he have a license to trap beavers, I see it cost $3600 to trap beavers in New Hampshire
Trapping for nuisance control is not trapping to sell pelts. They need to have ag/forestry division help with plans anyway.
TY for that info!
Al, put a paint mark on the rock. Measure up from the bottom and give us a number to the mark
Good idea!
@@bota7763 Yes a mark on the rock:
This is an ancient process from Egypt.
How about LumnahLand? (Your own Homesteaders version of DIsneyLand: Homesteaders fun for everyone!). You should have some names for different sections of the property as well as roads/trails so that the family/friends will know where you are - 500 acres is a LOT of space to get lost in. Your Outhouse area can be Poo Corners, or the Honey Pot Spot. You can have Tanner's Trail, No Beaver's Brook, Gina's Grove, 'Livia's Landing, Figaro's forest. References for the areas you use most, or have specific purpose for.
Thats a good idea! But need a name for all of it too. And agree it sure would be helpful to find someone lost if you know which area they were heading too!
Good Moornin ,Adventuresome Lumnahs From ...🇯🇲
Al....take Olivia's Bus shelter up to the property! It will get lots of use for sitting to have your picnics
I suggested that 3 times now.....lol. They don't listen to any suggestions.
Good morning from East Morton on the edge of Ilkeley Moor in Yorkshire Dales, England.
Over here a property that size on the moors would be known as an estate.
The definition in the dictionary is "an extensive area of land in the country, usually with a large house, owned by one person or family. Suits your situation to a tee.
Therefore 'Lumnah Estate'.
Got a nice ring to it don't you think?
As hard as they work on it, it should be an estate!
"Top Gun Ranch" in loving memory of Goose and Maverick who would have loved to moved to the new property.
That’s perfect!
GINOLI Farm, Woods, Estate, Beaver Refuge?,
what ever, but to honor the ladies which have
dedicated their monthly, weekly, daily time to
assist Al in creating his 'hopefully', beautiful world.
Maybe with an accent over the O to insure proper
pronunciation. Not like a fob on a watch, rather
an O as in HOPE.
Yer looking great Al. Keep on, Keeping on with
the advice, the work, the blessings and being
blessed. Certainly we would all be astonished
to know the time involved taking these videos,
the equipment, editing etc. Shine on & thank you.
Great work!!!
I like Beaver Creek but I would add retreat. “Beaver Creek Retreat”
Al and Gina love watching you two build together not just in your lives but also on the homesteads. Olivia's chickens are definitely out laying new yolk city. Have a blessed day and I look forward to the next video.
You probably will never see this, but “Wilderness Acres” just came to my mind❣️
Is that a movie? Or another homestead?
@@karenminckler4198 -Not a movie that I know of...I meant, they probably would never see my comment. That name “Wilderness Acres” came to my mind for their new property.
Love it!
@@debbieorr5772 I like that for their new property. It says it all with all the acreage they have.
Add Lumnah Wilderness
AL YOUR LIVING IN A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY WITH ALL THOSE LOVELY GREEN TREES
Al, why did you not stagger the floor sheets for extra strength especially knowing that it is going to be towed?
i would bet it had to do with the shortage of the 2x4's, because he started to but had to move because of the joists. just my thoughts.
Gina staggered the joints on the lasagna at least😂
@@IU-Uber - He still can. That's the beauty of building with screws.
@@benthere8051 agree
I was wondering that, too.
The hens aren't laying because they're having to walk through "the valley of the Shadow of Death" to get to their pen now.... all the Chicken cones for harvesting hanging there as you walked by, lol 😂😬😂😉
hahahahha-that's funny :-) :-)
Good morning. I would call it heritage acres. You plan to do a lot of things on the property that is part of our country’s heritage.
You could name it Lunmah Acres Family Homestead. On the outhouse you can also add a shower in the future. Also when you get ready to build the greenhouse at the new property, do a geothermal heating system on it and you can grow anything all year round.
I was a thinking 🤔 " Serenity Acres " because when Y'all are walking around on it you seem to find an abundance of it except for maybe the Beavers Lol but Beavers are tasty 😋. I love following you along with your beautiful dreams. Hard work pays off and brings one peace of mind at the end of the day.
Much peace and love from northeast Texas.
The outhouse will be nice when you need it. And a good size one. I like the idea of a composting toilet. I saw on another homesteading program they use their poo compost for their garden veggies and more. Looks like a good idea. Thanks for taking us on your homesteading journey. God bless! 💜
The farm for now until Mr Figaro comes on the scene, then Figaro acres
Please let your baby girl get more involved! You two know so much and she stands around watching you two and it’s obvious that she is eager to learn and do! Be a teacher, both of you and teach her those things that you know and she will always seek you out! You’ll love it!
Gooooooooood mernin'!
Goooooood morning
@@LumnahAcres Grouse Landing, Beaver Brook, Brookfield, but I'm just trying to be clever. I recommend naming it after something related to local native tribes.
@@LumnahAcres Hope Springs!
I'm pretty sure it should be called "Lumnah Acres" - not sure how I came up with that though..
🤣🤣🤣
Lumnah Acres part 2
I thought the exact same thing lol
@@haroldmarsh716 Lumnah Acres 500 ?
In British English, a bog is both a swampy area, and a slang term for toilet, so perhaps Lumnah's Bog may suit!
Or OutHouse in the OutBack! :-)
Hahaha! That's cute
I still think moving the " Bus stop " to the property would make a lot of sense.
That is a really nifty idea. The goats could come and have the goat stop to hang around with even. The acreage could be called the goat stop.
Al, you have a hard workin' woman there. Don't take her for granted.
Since your first build started with a fire pit you could call it Fireside. Or The Landing, Lumnah Landing, since you just kind of landed there. I'm pretty sure you've got more than just one Beaver left in that particular pond.
Great video,
Jimmy
Good morning everyone 👋🏻 LUMNAHS GOAL is good because G for Gina, O for Olivia, A for Al and L for Lumnah 😊💞
I was going to say Pluto’s plantation, but I like your better.
How bout “ The Goal”
@@daviddeabay7579
Thank you David 👋🏻
@@diamondwfarm2238
That sounds good 👋🏻
In that case, how 'bout,
"Lumnah A GO GO"
Just kidding.
Since properties stay in the family, how about Livvy’s Landing.
love that idea , Olivia will eventally inherit this land
As soon as they got/intro'd this property I thought: It's for her daughter and her family and.......forever (however it is chosen to be used by each).
I so agree
love it.
That is a great name!
You need to get what is called a "corn rake" to clear away the beaver constructions. This would make a much better tool than the garden rake.
Or some C-4
An excavator would do the trick nicely!
Drag line and the tractor
@@pippaseaspirit4415 the brush is too thick and the ground is too marshy right now. It’d get stuck.
Name for the new property: Lumnah's Beaver Dam! To remember the beavers had it first. Wish you all the best with the new property you have a lot of work ahead of you. God bless your family!
Your first investment should be a sawmill!
Why did the Walton’s pop in to my head? Lol
How about "Beaver Falls" every time a beaver falls, you create a small waterfall by cutting through their dam.
Do you ever wonder if you're training the beavers to not be there, or if the beavers are training you to build the dam higher by throwing the sticks on top? For my own situation, occasionally I'll cut up an apple for the chickens to keep them quiet in our neighborhood. I wonder if they may actually be training me to bring them an apple!!!
I'm learning a ton from you guys and others like you. Thank you. :-)
🤣
This is going to probably sound a little too obvious and on the nose but considering all the effort you've put into your Branding Al I have to say the correct choice for the new land name is "LUMNAH ACREAGE."
An "acreage" is defined as "an area of land, typically when used for agricultural purposes." It can mean one acre but it almost always means a large farm. And it sounds distinct from acres even though it somewhat means the same thing though acres lacks that " traditionally for farm use" understanding since it is more predominantly used as a unit of measurement. Like when you announced you bought the land you said "we bought over 500 acres" even though saying "we bought an (X square meter of X square mile) acreage" would have been just as accurate.
And lastly we would all know what you meant any time you said "we need to head up to the acreage to work on the outhouse" as you usually refer to where you currently live as "the homestead." And when you're anywhere else and say "gotta get back to Lumnah Acres" or "gotta get back to the homestead" we would still know what you meant.
Personally I think with all your work to create the brand Lumnah Acres you should just call the new property "the acreage" until you build a house and move into it and sell your current homestead because at that point you would no longer need to make a distinction between the two and you could easily just refer to the new property as "the homestead" and continue building the Lumnah Acres brand the entire time with no transition. Building a brand is hard and Lumnah Acres is a good and recognizable one. And I can't imagine you changing the channel name. So I'd stick with it and just give the new property the nickname of the acreage.
Cheers!
This is the best one ive seen yet
'The Property' is a great name. Understated with a pretense of finery.
Yup... there's an establishment in the Boston region that is so exclusive it's just called "THE Club". 😉
@@faithrada Yep...just say it, We're going to The Property...and a chorus of angelic voices sing....ahhhhhhhhhh....
Remember if u put used motor oil on and wood in contact with the ground it’ll make it last twice as long it’s a bit late on your pull around potty 🚽! And it looks really well built it’s a great shelter in case and lunch break room a place to get out on the wind ! I’d make one of wall hanging tiny wood stoves the warm it up inside ! And too keep coffee or warm up a soup or stew !
You could be teaching Olivia a lot if you let her help you build the out house. Add a cute porch with a roof, we did and it looks so nice.
Didn't you see her with the DeWalt screwing planks together?
@@brenda324 Yeah, she did two whole screws.
Got a lot done. Glad you spotted that beaver. Thanks for the update.
You should consider “Beaver Creek” as a name for the property. Good progress so far. God bless you.
Gooooood Afternoon , Al , Gina & Olivia ,
I see Gina becoming more experienced. With so much future opportunity , I can see Gina building a project all on her own.
new property name: the NLA (new lumnah acres)
make a big gateway entrance drive thru thing and have that burned into a piece of wood. maybe make the merch graphic logo part of it too.
I'm so happy for you with your new beautiful land,what a privilege..The trees are breathtaking.Best to you and your family.Sir you are such a go getter, your girls must be so proud of you.God is good God is great...
Dinner looks delicious, it’s making me so hungry. Do you guys not like broccoli stems? I think they’re the best part. I much prefer to eat the stems then the head. They’re really delicious. Broccoli is one of my favourite vegetables and it’s so awesome if you make a cheese sauce put steamed broccoli in an ovenproof dish, pour over the cheese sauce, add a handful of shredded cheese, sprinkle some paprika and put in the oven to brown. You will never want to eat it any other way. You can add cauliflower to the pan as well. It’s so delicious.
Al: A blue sky thought from the old guy. To the side of the fire pit a 'U' shape shelter open to the fire. 6- 6'x6' fence panels ( 2x4 frame and boards ). 2-8' 4x4's one between the legs of the 'U' panels to support a 12' 4x4 for the ridge of a tarp roof. A 12' 2x6 beam across the top of the open end of the 'U' shelter. 2- 12' 1x2's to be screwed to the 2x6 beam and the top of the 2- 6x6 rear panels. The tarp roof could be 6 mil plastic on tight sash cord rafters 1' OC. 1x4 sub facia could support the gable end of the plastic roof secured with 1x2 strips screwed to the 1x4's. The plastic roof would have a 4/12 pitch or with 10' posts an 8/12 pitch for snow load.
All components can be repurposed as animal shelters, mini greenhouse, screening, fencing etc. or broken down and the materials reused.

Lumnah Projects,
good idea to build a storage/workshop out there next.
Every time Al says "we're heading up to the projects" half the new audience will think he's a slumlord that owns a housing project. LOL 😹
@@RemedialRob I said that cause of all the future "projects" he is going to be doing there.
Al, we love you and your family, have watched you for years, and one of the things that has continued to warm our hearts is how you don't hide your faith in God. We think a name for the new property should give glory to our Heavenly Father. He provided it.
If the water flowing pressure is good in dam could produce hydro power.
I can't imagine why 500+ acres, besides an investment, and what are the future plans for the Original Homestead, The thought of you selling the smaller homestead is heartbreaking after watching so much love and hard work go into it. So many questions. Aside from that, the Broccoli looked terrific! The whole meal did. Thank you for sharing!
500 acres for agriculture is not that much, especially when some is not usable and large parts are kept in forest, you can be self sufficient off far less but if you want it to be actual job where you make money then you need a LOT of land, I know I grew up in agriculture on 2500 owned acres and another 2500 or so leased.
Wonder what the “big” secret is about where the land is located? My question is how a poor homesteader gets financing to buy 500+ acres. No matter what State you’re from you are looking at 1-2 million dollars. Now if you have a solution I would sure like to know.

@@zetuskid not true, in 30 seconds i found 163 listings of 500-750 acres for $500k or less with the cheapest being $63k for 640 acres

Castor lane Acres ,Castor is Latin for beaver
Yeah
Cool, someone didn't like beaver acres. They have been in America from the beginning. Still here today. Give them some respect, they are very intelligent creatures.
"Castor creek" it's catchy
Castor means beaver in Spanish too
But the Beavers are neither, Latin, nor Spanish!
I suggest you have a back trap door for removing the bucket, in your potty. It would be much easier to do that way, and your fire pit doesn't need to be dead level, so rain flows away. Love the new place! You can have running water, with a ram pump really easily. so many possibilities! Lumnah Too Acres! or just The 500!
Let’s call it the “DAM” property
lol
Too funny! lol

Yum !!! That lasagne looked "Scrumptious" !!!
Lumnah's Newfoundland.
A good way to have the beaver move on is to break a hole in the dam, go deep enough then put a 4 inch drain pipe. Make sure the inlet is as far as possible from the dam so they won’t know how to plug it. They will plug the top at the dam but the water level will stay down.
Goodmorning,dinner looks yummy ,still wondering if sawmilling is a later possible compost with plenty of dust for oiuthouse and animal bedding,as always Lunmah Farms,thays my 2 cents worth God Bless
you could do with a small cabin up on the new place with a wood burner , and then if you get too cold you could retreat into it for a hot drink and warm up before getting back to work xx Im very excited to see how your new place evolves .
Olivia needs a few tools..🔨 great to see her helping out.
Olivia is helping A LOT already doing so many other chores.......just give her time to figure out "building" :-) :-) I think that by spring she could have her own tool box :-)
Love watching your videos there is always something to do and your doing it by yourselves and Gina supper always looks great
Morning Al
How about Lumnah woods or Gina's ridge, or Olivia park. Just a few
Morning All
Your daughter will inhert the property so my suggestion is let Olivia name the property.
Like all just a suggestion.

Have Olivia draw section and scenery maps and sketches to document the progress and changes.Measure with the odometer, or a surveyors wheel, distances. Photograph change of seasons.
''the property'' is what we called the 20 acres that was our family's camping, hiking, picnicking get away and later, when sold, was the basis for my Mom's financial security into her 90s. lt is now a housing tract - that's CA for you.
That's so sad.

Love to see meal time...family time. Great head of broccoli from your garden..wonderful.
I think you should really tear down the dam because when you just open up a little even tho it is less work for you in a week would pay off to just broke it completely because this way it is easy for the beavers to fix it ...

You should consider draining the pond to slope the sides and level the bottom to suit your needs.

You might be able to increase your egg production by putting a couple of those LED battery powered nite lights in the hen house. Turn them on at dusk and off in the morning to save battery life. My Grandparents kept chickens and had an egg sales route each weekend. They left the lights on all night claiming that it made for greater production.
Hurts me to read the comments about Olivia needing to do more work on camera. Criticism about her really should be off limits, and I wouldn’t think that needs to be addressed with adults.
She is 12, homeschooling, has her projects and hobbies etc. She has enough pressure just by growing up in a viral/virtual world and strangers shouldn’t be judging what she does or supposedly doesn’t do.
To protect her tender self image and esteem her Al and Gina could easily edit her out of all videos. I feel defensive of her when I read these unnecessary comments. It also makes me sad for the person remarking that they don’t see the harm that their words can do.
Just be kind .
Honestly never read any comments like that
@@deanfirnatine7814 over the last week especially I’ve seen more and more comments about how she needs to help more on the projects and with chores the animals. So just because you aren’t seeing them doesn’t mean they’re not there. My comment is a direct result of another comment criticizing Olivia for doing nothing.
I don't see any criticism I see observations based on folk's past history. Most of us who grew up on farms knew that we had to pull our own weight. Even with me in the city, my dad did not let us sit and do nothing we had to stay busy. So we stayed busy by staying out of his eyesight. :-)
@@kaisenji I agree w/ you for the most part I was raised the same way always told "idle hands are the devils workshop!" but kids need playtime too.
