    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!

    Amazing! I’m happy for you! FIVE years ago, my husband and I had that same dream: to buy a large piece of land and turn it into a farm. 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!

    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.

    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.

Especially love the fact that you stayed here in the North East, I am a native New Englander from the Berkshire’s and I love that you deal with the indigenous nature that I am accustomed to- I learn a lot from your channel. Praise God for all of this.

    When you said “next big project” - you weren’t fibbing. I gather that this land is fairly close to you and ponder its shape. Maybe a hand drawn map with a few dimensions. Your could add in the road, ponds, pasture sites and potential house sites. We would love to know this and if you updated it as time went on, you would have documented your journey .

      If they keep 90% land as forest and log the old trees and plant new ones , its manageable. But the plans of pasture , cows, goats , maple sugar just Al and Gina cannot manage it as the scale of operation will be lot bigger.
      Its better to rent out the land or do JV deal . That way you can use it more productively and have extra
      hands and eyes to help you out if needed.

    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.

    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.

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.
