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!

I have no idea why a 5 year old video showed up in my feed. I watched it anyway. Thanks Al.
It is so good to go back and watch these old videos when they pop up.
Same!
Thom; click on Lumnah Acres above then see Library and you can view all, I wish they were numbered, ( RUclips should watermark, all producers video thumbnails, by request ) for not missing Library !
Yea, they went from scrimping and making do to buying whatever they want. Figueroa 😢!
As a recently retired Dentist, I congratulate you on being able to pursue your homestead, RUclips and personal interests. I'm happy to know a regular supply of videos will be coming... because I've started all four of my granddaughters (2,3,4,5) watching. They love the animals, your interesting and funny commentary, and seeing Gina and Olivia interact. May God's abundant blessings continue to abound to you and your family!! ps: was grateful for my day job, but enjoy my grandkids, daily projects and free time now.
Congratulations Al! I know you will enjoy being home and working on the dreams your family has instead of other peoples dreams.
Congratulation on becoming a farmer. Took me and my wife 12 years to be able to say we're full time farmers. A few bit of advice. Do your research on what your local market will bear. People thinks that eggs are a natural income, but if you have 8 other farms supplying eggs it doesn't make sense to expand your egg production. Talk to the restaurants near you, don't just rely on farmer markets or customer list.
For us, our money generators is eggs, tomatoes, garlic, walnut and honey. Our eggs alone paid for 60% of our expenses. We grow and can San Marzano Plum tomatoes. We have dedicate each summer 2 acres on their production. Those two crops paid for everything. The rest is just gravy.
Plant your fruit and nut trees now, wish I would have done that 12 years ago. But the advise I had wished someone would have told us when we started this farm (beside planting fruit/nuts trees) is that you can't do it on your own, get some help. Someone who can come one day a week to help around the farm. Train t hem to a point where they can manage the farm if you have to get away whether for a emergency or a vacation.
Or change to ducks?
I agree about the eggs. In our area, there are massive organic (and non organic) chicken farms as well as Amish farms and a lot of hobby farms. Eggs are so cheap that selling eggs is not an option. You really need to find a niche crop for your specific area like you said.
That's all good farm/business advice but I think he was referring to the YT income replacing enough regular income with the farm cost reduction (and slight farm income) taken into account. So there are a few more factors here. Haven't watched the whole thing yet...but that's my guess. 132K subs now 1.5 years later...youtube works in mysterious ways. Still no pond though...excavator job #1
Got to love New England weather.. can have all 4 seasons in a day.Awesome you will be able to do the homestead fulltime. 🤪
🌻have a wonderful day🌻
Congrats Al so nice to hear that you are going full time farming and RUclips. Really enjoy your channel.
Congrats to you and your family. You are so smart to do this so young. I am waiting till I retire to start my homestead. 3 months and counting......
Thanks, it sounds like you will be starting in no time!
Congratulations on the new decision and direction for your family! Best of luck in that, and I think that you will do well!
Wow! Five years ago. I only began watching a few years ago. It is awesome to see your growth!!
Congratulations. Best of luck on your new endeavor. Enjoy more time with family and the farm.
Good morning Al. Good to hear that you were able to give your notice and stay on the farmstead. I can see that you are a talented carpenter, who could pick up work if need be. Our neighbor will be helping us build a small bunny barn at some point and other odd carpentry jobs. Our new house isn't quite finished...We only got a half inch of rain in central NH and need more. Being relaxed and zoned into your home projects is a good thing. Zen & the Art of Modern Homesteading.
Lol, its going to take me a bit to figure out the zen part but I am looking forward to it!
You will, once you can settle into a complete routine. You are setting up to have a good flow to your chores.
The hobbles on the milk stand look like they are working well!! Yay!!
Good morning, Al. You had me worried with that title there, lol.
You're doing a wonderful job, and i look forward to watching your daily vlogs. Love to the family and animals. xx Mojo xx
Congrats Al! Sarah and I both work full time on our homestead and it is an awesome life and a great way to raise your family. I remember when we quit our jobs and decided to be full time homesteaders, it was scary and exciting. I have never regretted it one single day! Congrats again. God Bless! - Kevin
Thanks, how long ago did you start homesteading full time?
We've been homesteading full time for 2 years. For 5 years prior to that, we homesteaded in the Phoenix area while still working full-time. Email us anytime if you have any specific questions. We'd love to connect with you. Congrats again!
My two favorite Homesteads, you both have been a big inspiration to our family and our homestead.
+Brad Wainwright Thank you so much!
You will be able to get so much done being at home. I'm the one who is at home and looks after the farm. My husband is a truck driver and we really only have Saturday to work on big projects with him. I'm very fortunate to be able to stay at home and do this because otherwise I don't think we could manage to keep up with all the work and full time jobs, especially in the summer.
Congrats Al! You have worked hard this past year, accomplished A LOT, and we have enjoyed you allowing us to come along😁. Thanks!
If you touch the tentacles that arent attached it takes a sec but they move. They move pretty quickly, cucumbers make really good examples tp children because they move and respond quicker than a lot of plants. They make a good reminder that plants are alive.
I never knew that. Thanks
That’s great your able to stay on the farm I’m looking forward to see how your farm will grow I think I’ve been following your channel since you had about thousand viewers I’ve enjoyed all your videos every day. I always like your videos and watch the whole commercial
At least you guy get some cool nights as a break from the heat we won't have cool nights for another 2 months, we will start to cool off the second week in September as a general rule in the North East Georgia Blue Ridge.
That is so awesome! Such an amazing achievement and a goal we also strive towards 👍🏼 Thanks for sharing your lives and tips with us all 🌻
I agree :)
Congratulations on your decision!! Praying for you all and so happy for you!!!🐔🐷🐈🐕
That rocks, Al! Thanks for putting in the work and proving that building a business through RUclips can work for us homesteaders! And a well made video, by the way.
Such wonderful news that you're going to be a full time homesteader! I'm glad you'll have more opportunity to develop that magnificent new field, and can hardly wait to see what you decide to do with it.
I look forward to continue watching your excellent videos
I am watching your older videos, as I never saw the begin of your adventure into being on a farm. You certainly have done a lot since this video to the most recent one of the barn and wood shed. I am so pleased for you, Gina, and olivia and all the animals. I am enjoying your adventure. Enjoy your day Lumnah acres.
Way to go, Al. It’s impressive feat to grow that quickly. You’re really inspiring.
Only came across your channel a few days ago and I absolutely love it. Keep up the good work.
From Australia ✌
Al congrats on the job...that is so awesome!! Quick tip for your new manure fork, we used to weave a bit of hardware cloth onto ours so it would catch the tiny goat pellets. Can't wait to see what projects you come up with for your new free time!! 👍
I love the fact that you can finally do this full time! Rember, you can aways fall back on your carpentry/constrction skills for side jobs when you need the extra scratch.... It's still a big step but I know you will be happier for doing this! God bless you and your family 😀
I know this is late but I just watched this video and I wanted to congratulate you on being able to focus on the farm and the family full time!! That’s huge that’s awesome and most importantly in my mind that’s FREEDOM!!! I’m super stoked for you man enjoy what you have worked so hard for!!
You having more time along with all the cleared land makes me excited to see all the future projects.
You are an inspiration of hard work=living life like you want
This is the first video I have seen with the goats so small, they are adorable! I know now why y'all fell in love with them! I cracked up when Willow ran back in from the rain, such a little Diva! Olivia is so tiny in this film, it's amazing how fast they grow up. You are a step ahead of the rest of us, you and Gina will be able to compile years of her growth to show your grandchildren some day!
Congrats on being able to give your notice!
We have a few cats outside that follow us around the house, barn, and shops but won't follow us too far into the back fields.... congratulations on being able to pursue your dream and full time farm. Hopefully we will be there in a few years too.
I wish you every success in your new life direction Al.
Congrats on being able to farm full time. Hope it works out for you long term.
My cats follow me around as well. In the evenings we have a bit of a parade as 2 dogs, 2 cats and 2 goats join me on me evening walk.
we need to get our goats following us
Lumnah Acres They will before you know it. Mine love cookies and apples and carrots and horse treats. I generally wear an uncool fanny pack when I am working outside so I can keep my phone near and not set it down and forget it. Got in the habit of keeping some dog, goat and horse treats in one of the pockets. Now they all come running when I go out but they may get a treat or just a scratch and rub. Everyonebut the horse free ranges but the goats never go far out of the yard. If one of the dogs bark the run back into their yard until the dogs Kay back down giving them the all clear.
Well done you three. You're going to have to work hard to make up your income, but with your determination, you'll do it.
Congrats on the next chapter in farm life! What great news that your hard work has paid off and you can farm/RUclips full time.
Congratulations on giving your notice, for a minute I thought you were leaving us. Hopefully Gina can goin you on the farm. I love watching your family and farm grow. Take care
you guys always lift me up so positive cheers
Thats awesome...congratulations on becoming a fulltime RUclipsr..I really hope it all works out for you and the family, we really enjoy everything you all do.
Thanks Dutch!
That's great, congratulations, love your channel, my favorite! Good morning to all, have an awedom wk end!
Hot in the UK too. 30°C and torrential rain 2 days ago. Loving the heatwave though!
Congratulations on your decision to go full time farming. What a great feeling of freedom. So many folks just dream of what you have done.. God bless you and your beautiful family.
CONGRATULATIONS! I can hardly wait to see what happens at Lumnah Acres now that you will have more time for projects. You are "living the dream"! Thanks for taking us along with you.
Congratulations!!! Always enjoy your videos from New Ham Shire.
So cool. Congratulations, I'm happy for you and your family. Looking forward to seeing more great videos of your homesteading journey.
I have been watching yawl for a while and love the channel. first time seeing this video, and you live up to your wishes. thanks for your inspiration. I hope you take the time to watch the older videos. cool as a viewer to see. keep up the good work!!
Congrats on your achievement of going full time at the homestead!!! What a huge success
Congrats... I hope you get happiness out of your new circumstances.
This just (April2023) popped up on my feed, wow you guys have achieved such a lot in five years.
Congratulations! I'm very happy for you.
Well Al, looks like it't time for a bigger tractor so you can really FARM that extra acreage. Hint, hint, GO GREEN!
Can't wait to see what you do with the new field.
You are living the dream..so excited for your family...and thank goodness it is cooler..now back to my bread making..enjoy the day..
Congratulations!!! That is good news. I always look forward to and truly enjoy your videos! I am a single woman in my 50's work full time and started my homestead a little over a year ago. With some chickens (also building off grid systems) later I will also get goats.. and maybe even rabbits. And yes, I'm doing it all solo woohoo! And boy, oh boy it is a lot of work!.(and requires some patience since projects takes longer to complete with only one person). BUT.. I LOVE IT!!!. Your videos are very inspiring to me. Looking forward to watching more of your future progress out there in New HAM Shire! - Aloha from Hawaii!
Thanks, It is a very rewarding life style
did i just hear that young lady say she wa almost done her laundry? wow that's a awesome job of raising a great kid right there. Good job parents a lot of people could use your life skills to improve there kids upbringing as well. Great job and congrats on the big news your family works there tails off for it .

Hard work always pays off, glad you’ll be able to stop working, farm looks great and organized.

The goats will love their ball.
Al I am so HAPPY for You and The Lumnah Acres Crew, both the 2 and 4 legged members!!!!!!
Keep up the good work and keep them all happy and not hungry!
Congratulations - following you from Denmark - Europe.
That’s awesome Al! So glad your teaching goals. Yeah, what is with this weather lol I was near frozen last night. Even thought about running the heat 😳.
it sure is crazy how fast the weather changed
I'm so glad you are not quitting You Tube. We start our day with you and a cup of coffee. We are so glad you all can be on your farm more and share it all with us. Sausage and Links are getting so big 🐖🐖👍❤
Al I am so happy for you and the family and I look forward to all that you create with all your “Free time”... The pigs are getting so big and the goats look great!!! 💜🐐🐐🐐
just a suggestion: I would consider having the dozer dig the pond while it is there. you could always drain it later to make improvements. great videos. Congratulations on your achievements!
I love watching your videos and I LOVE LIVING IN New Hampshire. I've lived here all my life and will never move. Thank you for representing NH farms.
Wow! Super cool! Happy for you and your family! Now you can get a lot more projects done. It's funny because I can almost feel the moisture here just by watching your video even though I'm in the desert. Love it.
I just saw your channel for the first time so I subscribed. I'm envious of all the rain your getting. I am in central Texas and its been so dry down here nothing is growing and it's starting to drive the feed prices up. See you on the next video.
So happy for you. I was worried you were going to stop doing RUclips. I love watching you all everyday. So glad it is all working out.
Congrats, what a great accomplishment to be free from working for someone else. No doubt the channel will continue to grow. Keep up the good work.

Congrats on the changes! I'm jealous of the rain you got....we got almost nothing down in Wakefield! Just a sprinkle.
Good Morning Lumnah acres! Super stoked for you, CONGRATS, I am sure you will love being a farmer full time, can’t wait to see what you do with the new pasture and cleared land. Great channel, great videos, excellent content. Thank you! John from AZ 😎👍🌵
I have a couple of jobs, one is working with the general public in a professional setting....Then almost a year ago, I was hired by a DAIRY FARMER to help manage their herd. First time dairy farming, which is a “dream come true” for me - I’ll admit, I got about 3-hrs of sleep before milking chores, I was dragging a little when I came home, until I watched your video....I am so EXCITED for your family. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Al, our family can’t wait to watch the transformation of your family’s homestead 👍👍
Thanks, I bet you will learn a ton at the dairy farm!
Good for you being able to do farming full time! You'll be living the dream. Best wishes on your new adventure.

Awesome! I am glad the chicken tractor is working well for you
Congratulations, Al. You deserve this you have put a lot of work into your RUclips Channel and you can tell. You have also put a lot of work into the property and the different animals that you are raising. How it works out that Gina can come home next year as well.

That's so great that your going to go full time on Lumnah Acres, I would like to be one of the first to congratulate you on your success at building your empire and wish you continued success in all your amazin' endeavors. As always it will be great fun and totally enjoyable to learn from the projects you take on. As for me seeing you do what I would love to be doing will be very rewarding.

Thanks, no way I could sign off of YT!
Congrats on going full time content creator! That’s a huge accomplishment.
Willow's reaction was TOO funny!! LOL Shocked to see the kids staying out in the rain. I guess they hadn't read that chapter in "How To Be A Good Goat" manual yet. 😜
Lol, I hope they dont read that chapter!
Proof that all kids love water. LOL
Watching this a year later... it’s cool to see how much bigger the babies are now!!!
You are well organized and everything you built looks great and well designed.
Fun to watch! Good for you to go full time at the farm!
