So glad to see you made the path. My Mom scaped her shin to the bone slipping on the ice on rock steps thru rock wall. It was a week before she could get to the doctor. We lived in the country in Tennessee and we had 8 inches of week snow with another 1-1/2 freezing rain on top of it. It took that long for ice to melt so we could get her out to doctor. Thank God some of neighbors had moonshine to sterilize with after we went thru all the rubbing alcohol we had. We were so afraid she would lose her leg. I know its not the same today with life flight and such, but still don't want to see you injured! God Bless!
I've been watching your videos now everyday for a year and I just have to say what a breath of fresh air it is. I love your family and the work you do is tremendous
I didn't tally the !! BUILD A PASS THROUGH THE WALL !! comments, but so glad you heard us! Awesome job, very artistic. Just think, all those huge rocks were dug out of your fields, back in the day. Father Daughter bacon-making team - so sweet! Have you done a video on basic geology of your area, soil type, soil ph?
I haven't been watching for very long but wondered if you use heirloom garden seeds for your gardens. My favorite part of gardening was finding the best producing and hardiest heirloom seeds, then harvesting the seeds in late summer and early fall. We sold our little homestead in the fall of last year are waiting to get a smaller place. The only thing we have left are all our heirloom seeds in a freezer to be able to start our adventure again. Your homestead is beautiful! Please continue to share it with all of us.
But getting a cow you get more meat & a lot more milk. But that's up to you all. You make more stuff with cow milk like butter, ice cream, cheese. You can't do that with goats milk. Great video. God bless you and your family 😊. You can use your grass seed to fix your mud problem & it will get thick enough grass to help your yard problem.
Hey Al ..Have you considered a geothermal greenhouse build ??? seems it would be perfect for your homestead... Plus you got the backhoe..Does't have to be big ..surprising how much food you can grow in a small space..
We are in the "Just start," right now. We have 1.26 acres in the suburbs of Richmond, VA, and for the first 2 years had a small garden all while dreaming of, "Well, one day when we have our homestead...." Then one day I just decided we needed to do it and stop living in the future. So we did. We now have 2x the garden size, a small permaculture orchard, and edible landscape around our entire property of blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and more, plus a flock of 20 pastured laying chickens. One day when we get our "real" homestead this will have all taught us so much. I just couldn't sit and dream indefinitely. I had to JUST START! Your advice in these last minutes today are some profound truths from my own life. Thank you for sharing.
I saw all the comments yesterday and I could just hear you saying, 'Man, I guess I need to make an opening..." Great job. I worried about you and especially Olivia last winter in the snow. Glad you listened to your viewers and yourself! It will definitely help this winter.
You will definitely thank yourself when you get older about clearing that path. Great stuff sir. It’s great to see Olivia enjoying helping you in the kitchen.
THANK YOU THANK YOU, for the new wall. Al, please do not ever doubt how your viewers feel for you & your family. You made my day today, now add a board on the goat feeder & I'll smile all day. LOL GO VOTE
Love seeing your videos most mornings. The weather has been crazy so far in NH, but keep the snow up there north of the notches, no need to share. It's nice seeing you and Gina working with Olivia teaching and sharing with her. She seems happy smart well adjusted girl. Never noticed before she writes lefty. Too bad you didnt have some rubber hose to put over the teeth of the bucket to keep from scraping the rocks up, oh well. Thank you for for sharing with us all your videos.
@@bobross3080 That idiot who made friends with America's perceived enemy of decades and helped Gorbachev usher in Democracy and the Free State Economics of America for the largest population of oppressed humans in history. That idiot who improved the economics of America so much, the unemployment dropped for Blacks, Hispanics and Asians faster than any time in history. Only to have some of his records broken by President Trump. By the way, our family did not vote for Trump in 2016. I was born in 1966 and a Democrat from age 18. I happen to be a retired science and history teacher, so I am obligated to Historical Facts, not a political ideology. Mikhail Gorbachev encouraged Russian president-elect Vladimir Putin to make some democratic reforms, so the people could be as free as they can, so they can duplicate America's wealth. There is no question to anyone who studied the history of both the USSR and America that America had more opportunity for the poor to work their way out of poverty. If they take advantage of the free education system to learn to read, write and develop skills that lead to a good-paying job. Trump's economy has given more opportunities for the poor to gain higher paying employment than at any time in American history. There is a surplus of over 1 million high paying jobs in the USA and this is one reason Trump wants immigration to be changed to Japan's and other nation's Merritt Based Immigration. I hope I am *painting* an easy to understand view of how reality is. According to the Washington Post; The *U.S.* now has a record 6.6 million job openings. The United States now has a job opening for every unemployed person in the country, a sign of just how far the nation has turned around from the recession that cost so many American's their jobs nearly a decade ago. Though we did not vote for Trump in 2016, all four of us in our Personal Socialists Home have voted and we will be voting for Trump in 2020. Pro-Border Security Pro-Law and Order Pro-American Farmers Pro-American Jobs Pro-Legal Migration Pro-2nd Amendment Pro-1st Amendment Pro-Woman work opportunity Pro-Man work opportunity Pro-Minority Personal Achievement Pro-Balanced Trade Pro-Religious Freedom Pro-Transparency and Speaking his mind Pro-Police Officers Anti-Corrupt Law Enforcement Anti-War Anti-Fake News These were the things each of us spoke of in our meeting to decide our voting. After sitting together and investigating, with the help of God, we see Trump is all these. The idiots appear to know how to fix things and restore Equality of Opportunity, which is better than Equality of Outcome. The Outcome should be based on each person's ability to achieve. That is how Nature works. So we are deplorable for voting for Trump in 2020, but at least we are not 'With Her' or her kind. BTW, Personal Socialism is nothing like National Socialism. National Socialism/Democratic Socialism is Macro Managing what should be micro Managed. We are against Government controlling the means of Production. Right now in the USA, the means of Production is done by private individuals. American Capitalism is Citizens Controlling the Means Of Production. Personal Socialism is the individuals practicing Socialism in their Personal Lives, without relying on everyone else being forced to do the same. We are four adults who put 100% of our income into one account to pay for everything for ourselves and if we have extra, it is up to us to vote to invest it or give it to the needy. We are not obligated to those we can not help. We are not hoping the government will be the answer to everyone's problems. Opportunity being used to advance one's knowledge and skills to work our their situations on a personal level is what makes for a strong foundation life, and that makes for a strong foundation of a nation. Personal Charity towards others credits us with Righteousness. It also allows the giver to stipulate when or if it will be given to people who will utilize it with Wisdom. Something government fails at over and over.
@@fla-bushcraftprepper941 I couldn't have put it more eloquently!! I'm a registered Republican (raised by two die-hard WV Democrats), but have always voted for the person, not the party. I can't stand Trump the person, but Trump the POTUS and his policies, I fully support.
Great job on the rockwalls walk way! Also the bacon process was well done for folks who have never seen how easy it can be to do themselves! You creating great memories for your daughter and she's going to remember this the rest of her life so kudos to you and your wife!
Just wanted to say that I have been watching your page almost from the beginning. I really enjoy following you and your family and all the critters on Lumnah Acres. You all are an inspiration for us to grep moving forward. We are going to raise 2 pigs this winter.
I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I just brought my newborn son home from the hospital yesterday and the first video we watched together was one of yours. He was obviously sleeping but I liked him hearing your animals and all you do. Thank you Al!
Thank you Al. Watching your family's daily adventures helps remind me that I dont have to do everything overnight to build my homestead. It helps being reminded that patience, trial and error, and a constant desire to learn and grow are essential in building your homestead and your family right. Thanks for your channel and God bless you and your family.
Thank you for all that you do Al . You are an inspiration. Until I get to do it myself, I get to do the next best thing which is watching you and your wonderful family. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for the words of encouragement at the end, Al! We're working on a quarter acre here in the Adirondack Mountains doing our best. Chickens & quail (for eggs & meat), veggies, perrenials & fruit trees. It's a start & it's all beacuse of you and a few other RUclipsrs that we started to watch. SO- thanks for doing what you're doing!
What an inspirational video watching Dad and daughter working together. Wish everyone would watch this video to see great examples of great parenting and love. God Bless from Phoenix.
Thanks you for being such a wonderful host to the farming life! Blessings be to the whole Lumnah Arces, and your family too!🍂🍁🌹🦃🌹👿🌿🍀🔥🔥🔥😇😇😇🦃🌹👿🌿🍀🍁🦃🌹👿🌿🍀🌿👿🎃
Love the ending to this video. I think y’all underestimate just how, not just informative, but encouraging your videos are. Truly a God sent family willing to share their walk to self sufficiency with others. I am always so impressed, especially because I know not everyone who comments are....shall we say nice. God Bless you and your family for what you do.
Loved the wall rebuild. It looks so nice. I found myself saying, “yup, that’s good and scootch it over a bit, yup that’s perfect,” like you could hear me! Hahahahaha 🤣You guys are awesome. Love sweet Livvie in the kitchen. She’s such a good helper. TFS. You’re an awesome family. God Bless you ~Lisa
When I lived on the old farm. Vendors came and took the rocks away. Selling rocks. Landscaping. Rock Gardens. Ornaments for the front yard. Outside Fire places. They also made gravel. It was fun to watch. I was surprised people paid big money for rocks. It is good business. So keep doing what your doing. Rock On :-)
I’m glad we were harassing you ! Lol - can’t get enough of watching the rocks being moved for an entrance now you can get your kabota through it, and a lawnmower- I love it !! Beautiful entrance! You are awesome! Love your family! ❤️
We loves ya’ll too!! The rock wall came out good and so much safer for you. I grew up in a teeny town in Mass and have fond memories of climbing over rock walls as a child. But as a much more “mature” aged adult, the pathway is so smart. Have a great day!
When I read your title.....I was hollering Noooooooooo! I thought you meant the entire wall which is one of my favorite parts of your homestead. But I didn't know you almost broke your neck earlier. And I have to agree with you, the walkway looks nice. The only thing I would have done differently, which I know would have been so much harder and taken a lot longer but I wished you would have set the rocks, moss side up. I hated seeing the beauty of the moss laid face down in the mud. Will the moss grow back on the up side now? You are my favorite homesteading video by far. God bless your hard work.
I watched the dog scrambling thru the rock wall, so knew it was harder for people! I kept thinking that was an accident waiting to happen, especially in winter! Glad you fixed it nicely!
So many rocks!! It looks really good. Olivia is a lefty, just like me!! You are a good teacher, Olivia is learning some wonderful life skills. Love watching your videos and watching all the changes.
You make my morning. Always watch your video and drink a cup of coffee first thing each morning. Sets the pace for the day. Know your hard work is appreciated.
You were successful in proving that rocks have a mind of their own regarding where they want to be. I love your family, your plan, and the content of your videos. Each new vid is a bright spot and the very best way to start the day. 😎👍👏
I just went way back and watched this video. Very iteresting to see how far you have come and it was really great watching Olivia helping with "makin' Bacon' ".
Hey Al, great idea with the new entrance, with that escavator tractor you can easy bury irrigation lines all thru your property, to manage/harness your water resources.
I absolutely love the way you involve your daughter into everything you do. It will help her grow into a great young lady. BTW I really agree with cutting the hole in the wall. It will make your life much easier as time goes by. Very good decision I think.
The walkway looks good, Al! I bet that will make it easier, and you can probably even get the Kubota through there, which would be nice. I agree with “just starting”. We aren’t where we want to be yet, but we sure are a lot further than we were when we started! My advice to those just beginning or who don’t think they can because they’re in an apartment/subdivision/etc - learn! Read, watch videos, do small projects like canning, cooking, building and even volunteering at another homestead to get some skills.
good morning to you too. thank you for clearing that wall. my nerves are at ease now. Hug! beautiful homestead. you've come a long ways. I'll get there some day. thanks for sharing your family life with us. enjoy greatly. learning something new every day. have a good day
Having a 5-acre parcel that watching your videos has made me wanted to start it back up as a farm that used to be the guys had for me had horses on the back for acres is Sun gave up on it 20 years ago now I have a John Deere 1025r with a bush hog been trying to clear back 4 acres. That's a your videos makes me want to go do it more everyday. I've been working on it for 3 years now. Hopefully next year I will get me to pigs and I will try doing that.
Oh my gosh. I'm so happy you finally made a pathway! I was always worried my girl Olivia especially (but any of you) would slip and fall one day. Great job!
I love watching these updates! That walkway was a great idea 👍 I can’t wait to see all these spots you’ve been working on in the Spring when the grass fills in all those muddy patches 😊
Thankful for the wall alteration. So much safer for your family & you. Being mindful of potential dangers when you are alone is a real thing I had to learn the hard way - on ice one night. Keep up the fabulous improvements 👍🏻💕
Yay for you Al! You and the girls climbing that wall worried me! Love watching your adventures and hard work on Lumnah Acres. Love to you, Jen and Olivia from NE Missouri!
Enjoying your videos! Thank you everyone who posted here about that dangerous rock wall and Al needing to make a way through it safely! I’ve thought about mentioning it but didn’t and now it has been done and it’s much safer! Great job everyone for encouraging Al to make a walk through! It looks great Al! ❤️👌🏼

Thats a great little helper & such a smart girl 👧& Left handed also! 😀👍
Olivia is adorable in her little harvest apron. She is an awesome helper on the farm. The bacon is gonna taste great!

Great thumbnail. lol Glad it was just for a picture. Hugs ya'll
So glad you finally did it. I was worried about the family always having to climb over those boulders. Have a dry day, peace.

It's good to have so fun keeps you happy.
Something about watching you remove the rocks that's it's soothing. Looks like fun running the excavator.
I really love it when you teach and let your daughter help youl.
When I lived on the old farm. Vendors came and took the rocks away. Selling rocks. Landscaping. Rock Gardens. Ornaments for the front yard. Outside Fire places. They also made gravel. It was fun to watch. I was surprised people paid big money for rocks. It is good business. So keep doing what your doing. Rock On :-)

Great work. Love the matching aprons! Olivia is acquiring great practical knowledge.
The wall looks great that way Olivia you are the best you are dad's reflection
Man that rock wall looks so good it looks like part of the old farm it would look good redone WORK I know
So very happy you made a safe walkway for all of you. It will be especially helpful in the snowy and icy weather.
Nice job on the rock wall - looks great!
Nice job opening up that wall. It will be a much safer walk now.

I "thought" it yesterday, and love and behold!! The path is made.
love the chicken "clearing" the way after you jijiji!!! animals are intelligent, they know were to go at the right time!!!
This will be so much better with the walkway. Can you just imagine if all that rain we are getting was SNOW!!!!!!,!!
I hope we don't get this much snow!
I watched the dog scrambling thru the rock wall, so knew it was harder for people! I kept thinking that was an accident waiting to happen, especially in winter! Glad you fixed it nicely!
So many rocks!! It looks really good. Olivia is a lefty, just like me!! You are a good teacher, Olivia is learning some wonderful life skills. Love watching your videos and watching all the changes.
So happy you did the wall! It turned out quite nice with the big boulders at the entrance to your field of dreams.
Very happy to see that opening in the rock wall have held my breath watching you walked over it many a Time.

Mr Homesteader, tear down that wall.........History has been made. YEAH !!!!!!!!
Hello from Trinidad & Tobago...job well done..easy entry to New York City.
I just went way back and watched this video. Very iteresting to see how far you have come and it was really great watching Olivia helping with "makin' Bacon' ".
Hey Al, great idea with the new entrance, with that escavator tractor you can easy bury irrigation lines all thru your property, to manage/harness your water resources.
I absolutely love the way you involve your daughter into everything you do. It will help her grow into a great young lady.
BTW I really agree with cutting the hole in the wall. It will make your life much easier as time goes by. Very good decision I think.
The goats are so pretty, and so cute when playing!
your the hardest working man on utube
Oh, what a sweet ending! We love you guys, too! Thank you for helping guide us on our journeys! 💛
Looks great, Al! We appreciate the videos you make. Your positivity is a blessing to many.
The walkway looks good, Al! I bet that will make it easier, and you can probably even get the Kubota through there, which would be nice.
I agree with “just starting”. We aren’t where we want to be yet, but we sure are a lot further than we were when we started!
My advice to those just beginning or who don’t think they can because they’re in an apartment/subdivision/etc - learn! Read, watch videos, do small projects like canning, cooking, building and even volunteering at another homestead to get some skills.
The rock wall gate is beautiful! Nice job.

Having a 5-acre parcel that watching your videos has made me wanted to start it back up as a farm that used to be the guys had for me had horses on the back for acres is Sun gave up on it 20 years ago now I have a John Deere 1025r with a bush hog been trying to clear back 4 acres. That's a your videos makes me want to go do it more everyday. I've been working on it for 3 years now. Hopefully next year I will get me to pigs and I will try doing that.
Love my 1025R
Oh my gosh. I'm so happy you finally made a pathway! I was always worried my girl Olivia especially (but any of you) would slip and fall one day. Great job!
I love watching these updates! That walkway was a great idea 👍
I can’t wait to see all these spots you’ve been working on in the Spring when the grass fills in all those muddy patches 😊
good day to you Al, Gina & Olivia !! thanks for sharing another awesome update and adventures on & off the homestead !! 👨🌾🎥👍✝
Glad that the rock wall is a true opening. And there will not be any more claiming over rocks.
You did a great job with the rocks, vert artistic. You two are so cute in the kitchen.
Wall looks awesome Al. Happy you did that. Alot safer crossings. Have a a blessed day and hope the weather clears up for you all.
I’m so glad you cleared the walkway and didn’t actually fall! lol
Time buy some mortar and build a stone barn. Man that would be so much work. Keep doing what you do. Love it.
Being both handed I am thrilled to see your daughter is a leftie, So good to see that. Thanks for sharing all you do.
I love your ending to the video. You are a great motivator!
The opening looks great....need to be safe....goats are getting big...all your hard work is paying off...keep it ip. Love your videos.
Glad you made the entrance, hopefully it will be a much safer pathway.
Thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden, AL keep it up bye 👋 bye 👋 👨👩👧👸👕👓🐩🐈🐔🐓🐥🐖🐐🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
Thankful for the wall alteration. So much safer for your family & you. Being mindful of potential dangers when you are alone is a real thing I had to learn the hard way - on ice one night. Keep up the fabulous improvements 👍🏻💕
Love your rock wall, reminds me of home. Farmers used them as land markers.
Yay for you Al! You and the girls climbing that wall worried me! Love watching your adventures and hard work on Lumnah Acres. Love to you, Jen and Olivia from NE Missouri!
The new path looks pretty good.
We love you too!
good idea the walkway through the wall with the amount of rain your having it will certainly be a lot safer for you all
This is one of my favorite vlogs. I have watched a bunch.
Enjoying your videos! Thank you everyone who posted here about that dangerous rock wall and Al needing to make a way through it safely! I’ve thought about mentioning it but didn’t and now it has been done and it’s much safer! Great job everyone for encouraging Al to make a walk through! It looks great Al! ❤️👌🏼
Great encouraging ending Al. I’ve Started!!! :)
You have come a long way since I first found you years ago! The farm is looking great!
Hey, one step after another.... and things get done!!! Great work and your new path looks great! Thanks for sharing!!!
