- I've been cutting down some trees on the homestead getting the area ready for the site work so we can start the next project on the Farm. It was quite the day but it could have been so much worse other than having to deal with the rain we had to work in.

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!

Happy Independence Day! Hope everyone has a nice weekend. Heres the link to Joel Salatin's new Book CO authored w/ Dr. Sina McCullough amzn.to/3iuqDdX I learned a few new thing s from this one.
Happy 4th Lumnah's .. We Love You!
I'm having more trouble being excited about Independence Day this year.
I'm already half way through the book. The first half makes you very angry, the second half gives you hope and lots of ideas.
Happy Independence Day! Thank you! Love your vids! Entertaining and informative 🙂 would you please share the link for the soy free soy sauce? I'm intrigued. Thanks 💕
@@tdhawk167 Was hoping to find that link too. I cant have soy.
How about, "coop de ville" for the chick shaw, or the " yolklahoma express". Best wishes from Manchester 🇬🇧
Clever!?
Yolklahoma Express is amazing ! Good job Jonathan...
@@jeremiah1528 - Coop de ville and Yolklahome Express are really good. Chick shaw is used a LOT.
@@annwithaplan9766 . God bless YOU Ann...
Brilliant!
Finally, a video on TH-cam of a homeowner pulling a tree the correct way. Tied off before cutting, small face cut, shallow back cut(no bar binding), massive hinge and a pull vehicle outside the drop zone, Great job.
Just a suggestion - someone taught me that cooking your rice in advance and putting it in the fridge dries it out a bit and makes for a better fried rice and avoids the rice getting a bit gluggy.
Yes ! You are 100 % Correct ! Almost all Asian Restaurants that serve Fried Rice dishes all make it with leftover rice that was kept in a fridge overnight.
Yes using cold rice is the BEST!
That’s how I do my rice but have since switched to brown rice because I got tired of being hungry 30 minutes later since switching to the brown rice I have not felt hungry after eating.
On another note did you know that reheated paster is healthier for you as well I pre-cook mine the day before that I want to use it if you suffer diabetes they have have found that it helps to lower the sugars in the blood if your not sure look into it on the internet but for my husband who suffers from diabetes he has found that it has helped him in the past it use to work against him so he would not eat it now he loves eating pasta again 😹😹
We get those crazy sun showers here in the mountains all the time. In Northwest North Carolina, in the Southern Appalachian mountains is, we are in a temperate rain forest. We get more annual rainfall than the Pacific Northwest. I'm not sure what your project is but whatever it is, you will build it with pride and perfection. I've learned so much from watching you build things. I hope you are having a happy 4th! Blessings to all.
Name the new mobile coop “The Cluck Wagon”. Have you considered putting the broody hen and the little chick in the half of the brooder coop where Rusty and his girls were? Have a wonderful Independence Day!
RIP Rusty is no longer
@@danchicoine40 Why, what happened to him?
@@kyfarm Something got him and one of his ladies.
@@kyfarm I think he came to the rescue of his ladies and lost his life. I had a drake like that, a fox got too close and he was the hero. I found the three hens huddled in a corner. I named the drake "Mouth" cause he was the first one to get his quack on.
watch on replay. it was a red/brown chicken who got the slug! she grabbed it and ran off top right screen. :)
Al and the rest of the chickens missed. Very funny. Love replay.
I like the Cluck wagon express lol
Cluck Wagon. I second the name for nomination.
6:25 Replace traditional lasagna noodles with zucchini sliced very thing (lengthwise) and instead of ground beef or pork you can use ground chicken. It is so tasty and healthy too. We sauté the zucchini "noodles" in a pan first to soften them a bit before we assemble the lasagna.
Should call them “The Pasture Posse”. The TPP crew!!
Suggestion for the coop , """" Lumnah-Bago """"" as in Winnebago motor homes , obviously because its the the chickens little house on wheels that travels around and camps periodically ...just a thought
Not to mention that pulling it around could cause a nice case of lumbago. LOL
It's so enjoyable to watch y'alls videos.
It's almost like visiting with y'all, helping on the farm.
Visiting my aunt's farm in Texas was such a peaceful time, feeding the chickens, collecting the eggs, feeding the hogs, milking the cow.
They worked hard planting crops, harvesting, and growing their favorite vegetables, cantaloupe and watermelons...
I know the difference between good, organically grown food and the typical food available in grocery stores today. And I am fortunate to be able to get a good variety of organic food.
Thank you for showing people the Old School, natural way of farming...
Everyone benefits!
Im glad you found out about living traditions channel. Inside of their greenhouse Nice.
Got the trees down safely that is great. Have a great fourth guys and thanks for sharing your lives with us. Dancing carrots, that hit my funny bone this morning. God Bless.
Happy Independence Day to the Lumnah family!
The whole time you were cutting down the apple trees I was thinking to myself, Al must be saying, I’m no tree feller, just a feller who needs to remove a few trees!
Good job on the removal, you had the notches in the best position, even with the side ways pull on the rope they fell where you wanted them....
Hi Al,
The next project is building a snow melt pit. Dig a pit, two tractor blades wide by 10 feet deep. Some snow will melt due to natural geothermal heating. The kicker is you will heat the pit with solar heated water from evacuated tubes. PEX tubing will run from the evacuated tubes, an IBC holding tank (also buried in the ground for freeze protection), and the PEX tubing in the pit. When pit operations are not needed PEX heating lines will run to the green house for seasonal heating. Cheers,
Bill
I've got the perfect name Al.
The Porta Poultry. Haha
Blessings.
Hi Al, thanks for sharing your journey. Your vlog is how I start each day. What about calling the new chicken coop The Pullet?
Kevin and Sarah at Living Traditions Homestead are GREAT people and definitely worth a follow.
I hope that you all have a good 4 of July. Loves and hugs from the 61 little old lady in New Mexico USA. May God bless you and your family
Al ,you could call the mobile chicken coup ," Chickago" or "Chick-a-go" .
Chickago goes well with New Yoke City! I like it!
@@janetleeharrison Thanks , i thought it a good choice , as i think that Al mentioned that he grew up in Chicago .
I suggest the name for the small chicken coop as "MINI-COOPER" or "CHICKEN LITTLE-TOWN"....(for Littleton)
love to hear you and your family of your beginning to homesteader life and the move where you are now
Happy Independence Day to you all. Love watching all you do. It is nice to watch a homestead that is here in NH. :)
Good morning Lumnahs... when will you harvest the turkeys and how much cheese had Gina made the other day? It’s interesting that when you want to do special projects that the rain begins to pours. It happens to me too, but a plan B comes in handy. Your throwing reminds me of the last time you cut the trees. It’s always good to see you discuss what you’re reading... great discussion and I’m looking forward to hearing more. Have a blessed Independence Weekend everyone and stay safe🤙
Oh I think you missed it turkeys getting harvested with this new batch of cornish cross.
simple and perfect
from portugal admiration and respect
I am so happy for you guys. I think you are doing an awesome job in your life. I am living my dreams through you guys. I had always wanted to live in the country and have a farm. But I never did, I am 65 so it is too late for that. I do have a garden and once I retire I am going to get a few egg layers. Good luck and keep us entertained.
Love your site. You are such humble family. You have accomplished so much and truly self sufficient
HOW ABOUT THE COOP D'VILLE .
Happy Independence Day my friends. I liked a previous name "Meals on Wheels". I also think it might be a pond, but I don't think it's near a water source? God Bless you and your family.
Thank you for talking about your battle with anxiety (not in this video; I've been reading up and watching older stuff). Listening to you talk soothes my own jangled nerves. I am very grateful that I can turn your videos on and it's like listening to a podcast, but with pictures. Sometimes when I can't sleep, I put them on autoplay and not only do I feel like I'm dozing off to a friendly voice, I often end up having wonderful dreams that I'm farming.
Happy July 4th Beautiful Peeps! Amazing Weather here down at the Connecticut seashore. So much progress on the farm. The garden growing in your greenhouse is awesome.
Good morning!
I'm here in Ouro Fino MG, Brazil!
Hi! We enjoy watching your channel a lot. We have a small homestead as well and face many of the same challenges. We've noticed over the course of watching your videos that the audio level of the voice over when you are all at the dining table is usually lower than for the rest of the video. On this particular video, this is even more so. It would be great if you could figure out how to make that audio level a bit more consistent. Also, a tip we've used to get a rope up into tree is to use a weight on a string then pull the rope up using the string. A small weight on a string is easier to throw. For really large trees, we tape the string to an arrow and use a bow. Good luck and thanks for the great content!
16:21 The goats aren't stupid. When the tree came down not only did they run away at the first crack, they ran 180 degrees from the fall line.
That colour top really suits Gina! Lovely. Your tree exploits took me back to when we pulled down poplars by hand just with a block and tackle to build a glass greenhouse.
The pigs and goats said "I'm outta here" when you were cutting down the trees 😂😂😂
I thought that was hilarious too!!
@@jazminayala1384 that was funny especially when the pigs collided right at the end
"The Cackle Shack" , "Chick O Lay" or "Eggo Cart" are my suggestions. Hope's going to make the most adorable babies. Cant wait! Happy 4th you guys. As a huge fan of both your channel and Off Grid with Doug & Stacy, I also recommend the books "Natural Health Remedies & Immune System Makeover" by Janet Maccaro. Not that Im not a fan of modern medicine because I am but if we can avoid having to go because of simple remedies that we can use at home then Im all for it.
I enjoy your videos greatly!!! I stumbled upon Weed ‘em and Reap and they led me to you! One of the (many) aspects I especially enjoy is that I spent my summers in VT on my aunt & uncle’s farm and I know you’re right next door in NH. I also know how hard farming is and I think that farmers are the unsung heroes of the world!! All the best to you and your family and all them critters!!!!!
Good morning! Just started watching you a week ago and am enjoying it. Love how every goat has a name....Happy fourth of July to you from the little village of Grassie ( a little four way stop...you blink you miss us)
Mobile chicken coop name suggestion:
🐣 “The Silver Hatch Back” 🐣
Perfect!!
Hi Al! I use my slingshot to get big rope or my sawing cable over high branches: tie masonry cord around a tennis ball, loosen cord long enough and coil it on the ground or table. Slingshot the ball up. Tie the big rope, or whatever, to the other end of the masonry cord. Then find the tennis ball and pull til the rope is where you need it. Untie the ball and cord. Fun!
Something NOT to use: a padlock. My son used one to weigh the end of the rope and on the way down it cracked him in the knee. Love the sling shot idea!!
Another good way is to use a bow and arrow. Tie the string to the arrow and use it to haul the rope.
The sell a sand bag for throwing it over a limb. Used one before, worked great.
Happy 4th!!!!
What a difference a few trees cut down can make!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your journey and God bless.
Happy 4th lumnahs, hope your weekend is relaxing. And relaxing as much as one can have.
Portable chicken coop name....how about "chicks ahoy" ?
suggestion for the moveable chicken coop: Coop'nhagen (you know... Copenhagen (capital city of Denmark, Europe) but with "coop") ;)
Or Coop'n'wagon lol
Brilliant strategy using rope, hinges, etc. Excellent grammar. 👏🏻
I worked as a ski patroller and ski lift mechanic for almost two decades, the best thing I found for a cheap lead line for lift evacs is a hockey puck with a hole drilled in it and a light cord. Also, avoid throwing lead lines underhanded, it's much more difficult to get an accurate toss.
I think a good name for the new chicken hut should be '"The Eggpedition"
I think you are fixing up the pasture and getting ready for a milking cow
They're a herd animal like goats you shouldn't only have 1
@@mikekelly2482 The goats can be the herd.
I really enjoy your channel. I have learned a great deal from you all. Here is a quick type to get your rope to the top of the trees. Get a large flat washer, some fishing line, and a sling shot. Tie the fishing line to the washer. Then, use the sling shot to shoot the washer and fishing line through the top of the tree. Then, tie the large rope to the fishing line and pull the large rope through the top of the tree.
Always appreciate your insights Al... keep sharing your wisdom!
i think the new chicken wagon should be called egg sitter (Exeter ) for thos of you who dont know this is a town in newhampshire.
Wicked Maineah Elizabeth Yes, I like it! Great idea! Its got my vote.
Movable Chicken Coop: "Cluck Hut" ;)
This made me laugh!! Thanks! 😂😂😂
Al everyone has stood on the rope. Happy 4th to you and your family.
Al I have to say you are such a positive hard working young man and I have enjoyed your journey with you and your family. Everyone has had a share on the homestead.
Hensylvania.
Egg drop coop. Lol
Happy 4th of July. Great job with the tree clearing. I always enjoy your videos. 👍💖
I hope your next project is a root cellar cuz you're going to need one! Enjoy your rain it's a great blessing, love from southern California! Celebrate the joy of Independent living together.
How about Meals On Wheels.
Call the coop "Roost 66"
That's a great one.
@@MKCarol-ms7lg Thank you
Happy 4th of July Lumnahs Al you did a fantastic job on those trees! The homesteads growth over the years has been awesome to watch 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💞👍🏻
Looks really nice and open there. Looking every so fine.
Cluckingham palace, as in Buckingham palace, as it seems to be a popular one here in the uk
I second!
Me too!
@@suecave7139 Me too! I like that.
If Hope is pregnant, maybe Faith and Charity for some names for the little ones ??
If you want to learn about growing and preserving pretty much anything, Living Traditions Homestead is the place to go. One of my favorite channels
Good mauhnin Lumnah Acres! There are a lot of great names for the chicken coop. Love the dancing carrot Gina! Happy Independence Day Lumnahs and all viewers! Everyone have a great weekend and stay safe!💥🇺🇸💥
Braggs makes Liquid Aminos which people.use as an alternative to soy sauce and it had no soy in it.
Coconut Aminos is also a good alternative.
is there a problem with soy sauce?
Call it the “Eggmobile”
Happy 4th of July to the Sweet Lumnah Family. I love you guys and your channel. God loves you all. May God continue to bless you all.
Looking good at the barn and I think it was a good job of showing how to do it safely. God bless you all and have a great 4th of July
The Peep Mobile
My guess for the new project is a cow barn earlier you was talkin about getting a cow and she will need a home
it is the only thing i can think of unless its a new male goat barn which i doubt
You guys have AWESOME videos...Always LOVE watching them!!!
Good morning Al , Gina and Olivia ! So excited to know what it will be! I am still leaning toward horses (espcially for Olivia). Have a fabulous day!
just one thing, put the snow at the lowest spot and if possible darined out in the forest. saves a lot of hazzle in spring
I like Yolks Wagon! :-)
Good work on the tree removal. Looking forward to your new project. As usual, it will be very interesting, ...always is. ...Happy Fourth to you, Gina, and Livvy..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗
Thanks for tip about Joel’s new book just stopped viewing to order not out in England till 20 August. Back now for the rest of the vid. 👍
Mornin’. No rain in southwest ontario. Lots of heat and humidity though.
sounds like us but we are getting the rain too!
I love this wonderful heat we are getting in Grey County
There's nothing good about 40C without any break from the humidity! , southern ont here as well.
Call it “The Egg Plant” or “The Chick Inn”
Love the Chick Inn. So funny!!
Great job Al cutting down those wonky trees. Have a Happy 4th and a Blessed day.
Looking forward to the new project I have no idea what it could be but what ever it is I’m sure you’ll do well.
How about " The Yolklahoma Express" for the Chick Shaw or the " Chickadee RV"? By the way my father loves his Figaro tee shirt and was happy to see Al wearing the same today! Maybe KFC shuttle?
Yolklahoma eggspress!
I like KFC Shuttle 🤣
Maybe a pond? I followed hope from Arizona - it was neat but sad watching her leave us. I live 1 city away from weed em and reap. I enjoy your family videos.
Norma JeanNotbaker that would be extra ordinarily wow !good thought expensive though
I love that at 16:20 the animal know to RUN but then the pigs think it’s a game. So cute!
You throw that rope like I would, Al! It didn’t take you nearly as many tries as it would for me though! Way to go! We hope you’re having a good 4th of July! We look forward to seeing your new episodes all the time. Our favorite channel.
'The Chuck Wagon' ... or'The Chook Wagon' after all its where the food comes from!
Or the Cluck Wagon?
Happy Independence Day! How about “YOLKLAHOMA” 🇺🇸
Have a Nice Holiday weekend you guys
Good job on the hinge work on the trees. Most new people to tree felling don't realize the importance of the hinge when you are cutting down a tree. It is absolutely the most important part for tree placement and safety. Have a great Fourth of July.
How about Coopenhagen :)
Hey, Al ... as for the 🐓- flock name: How about ´ YOLKSHIRE ´ - from the word Yorkshire - 😋
My father was an amateur radio operator and was always putting antennas in trees while camping. He would use a slingshot with a large nut. he tied fishing line to the nut and pulled the antenna up with that. Much easier than trying to throw the rope.
What you need is a place to store things. You store things in the outdoor kitchen, in the carport attached to the wood shed, in the side of the barn where you have the single stall, in the bottom floor of the house. That would be my guess.
AL I say Name it:
Ole Yolks Wagon or
Yolks Wagon!
i nominate: "Al's Moving Castle"
I am getting 25 meat birds, 8 egg layers, and 4 turkeys on the 23rd this month. Cannot wait
Every time I see carrots I think about carrot salad, shredded with a hand grate, with raisins and mayo, one of my fav as a child
