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!

Mr. Lumnah can’t believe you are up on that ladder with all that snow on your boots and next to something that’s boiling? You are one brave man. Awesome video

10 gal of sap = 1 quart of syrup +/-. The sugar content of the sap is always changing from run to run and can decline if the sap is stored for a few days. Lower sugar sap = longer time boiling = darker syrup. All syrup is the same sweetness (same % sugar) reguardless of color grade. The darker the syrup the stronger the maple flavor. The light syrup is better for making maple sugar where you may not want a lot of maple flavor. We take a lot of orders for our maple syrup and we find by far the Extra Dark is the most in demand.

Grade A Fancy is what ya got there !! Very nice.

[onewhitestone]

last year Wifey and I were driving through Vermont and went to a sugar shack just off Rt 22. The grades of syrup were light and dark. Asked him what was the difference, he said that the lighter syrup was from the early part of the season when the sap was flowing fast. As the season winds down the sap slows and that is were you get the dark syrup. The dark has a stronger maple flavor than the light. Your doing great.

Very nice video. I'm so glad to see that YOU DO sit down a d relax once and a while and that it was cough on camera so we can see the Resting Al! You still have more energy than a classroom full of 6th graders after lunch and before gym class!

Love the lone star it really sets off the outdoor kitchen, very well done guys.

[jimclaire]

Awesome video. I love the star, you know Texas is the lone Star State, the only country ever to join the union. The star is a great addition to your outdoor kitchen. With ten gallons of sap you should get about a pint, or maybe a little more, of maple syrup. Your syrup is clean, not much scum, and your product is great. Just my guess of course. I can almost taste the pancakes laced with the syrup. I think the ratio is about 40 to one. God bless America.

Star looks nice on the kitchen. Great looking syrup. YUMMY. Too bad Olivia you missed licking the pot. :-) You can keep the short bottles for yourself and give or sell the  full ones. It's early in the season and you should get a lot more this year. Maples are just budding out here in IA.

Hello I see that you have two big propane tanks at the house. What I would do is have another one delivered for out door kitchen it would be cheaper in Long Run .it will cut cost in half it did for me

I started watching your channel when surfing and found your barn build and decided to watch all these old videos. Really great content! I just had to post on this one, because I laughed out loud when you said you would have a nunchuck flying around. I know you meant a throwing star, it just struck me as funny. Hahaahha, thanks for that!

[dianecharles]

Funny, I was saying a little higher on the star the exact time your wife said it! 😂

[Leslie_AvalonAcresFarm]

I'm glad you decided to keep the ice, I was wondering, "WHY????" when you were tossing it out! That's some gorgeous syrup, I can almost smell it from here! (that's me hallucinating, or wishful thinking, LOL!) I love the star, it looks great! ~~Leslie

[americannomad]
