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!

You scared me today because you're always so reliable! I was there right at three (Pacific time)and when three turned into four... 😳.... In today's world, 😷well, I guess it just had me worried! I was soooooo relieved. Do let us know if you ever need anything, you have lots of folks who love you, not just me, the worrier! 😂 Please tell Gina that she made my Swedish grandma's soup!

Wow Al, Gina, livi, Well here in Cali, I'm starting my seeds outside. I have had a garden for the last 3 years. I love growing food that we eat. I grow enough to share with family and some friends. We have an orange tree and wow an over abundance of oranges and now we have the tree blooming. Well back to my garden. I'm growing cucumbers, straight neck squash, zucchini, carrots, onions(long green and red round) celery, tomatoes all kinds including heirloom, I know there is more I just can't remember them all. I cant believe yall got that much snow just overnight. Yall have a blessed day. I love your videos. Keep them coming. Love from California.

"Riding along" while Al plows is one of my favorite winter activities.

I am rewatching this in September 2020. I can't believe all the projects that your family has completed from March until now. I think the two of you have have completed three major building projects plus started your green house garden. WOW.

We have been sharing our bounty of eggs with our friends, family, and neighbors because you haven't been able to find eggs around here for 2 weeks. So we were planning on expanding our garden this year anyway but the expansion just expanded! So we can grow enough to share even more with the people we love. God bless! Can't wait to see your new project! 🤗

Olivia you did so awesome creating a cupcake & snow bear! I never would have thought of it.

[@maryclairekalamafoni9524]

In Minnesota our family cross country skied every winter and we had to wax our skis every time we went out with varying types of wax suited to the nature of the snow. For instance,what you had there today was klister snow, a very wet, heavy snow. The lighter the snow, the harder the wax. The hard wax came in shallow tins like shoe polish but klister was in a tube like toothpaste! Great for snowball fights, too! I had two brothers, there were no snow cupcakes in my life!

[@paulrice1918]

Here in central PA we got just enough snow to tell it snowed. Spring snows around here used to be called names. No not those names but heavy snows like yours would be called sapling benders an inch or two were called onion snows. We have not got a plowable snow here all winter. I did not see a snow man anywhere but then again kids don't go out and play much any more. Gina so glad to see you are much more comfortable in front of the camera you do so well.

[@PatrickPoet]

What great parents you are to raise a kid with such a powerful imagination. Lots of parents accidentally squash that. Good on you.

[@spikemullikin]

Friendly comment; it's been a few years since I plowed some serious snow, but you're making real hard work of that. Always taught, first clear the road (so drive into the >); once you have cleared to where you need to go, you then go back and use your blade angles to move the snow to the side, you should never be fighting the snow, it can cause serious damage to your truck chassis.

[@trhimes57]

I can remember a time even in Pennsylvania that you did not plant gardens until the end of May. Even then you had to watch for frost. Now everyone wants to push it earlier every year.

[@slowly_radish8374]

Every time I see you pouring that beautiful stock I start thinking "Grandmom's chicken & dumplings". She made thick egg noodles without leavening & left them floury to thicken the stock. You inspired me to try to replicate her homemade goodness. Thanks we're enjoying the journey!

Definitely growing a bigger garden this year. I added more berry bushes, grapes, and 2 more 4x8 beds.

[@philipmorehouse1069]

Where I came from winter never gave up fully until May. Yes, it can be tricky and plays dirty until the end, but better weather will come and then you can enjoy three months of summer before winter comes again. Gotta love you pioneer spirit, makes me grateful for moving a little bit south of northern NYS. Love you show, and have it set up to remind me every time you release another episode.

Good morning Lumnah's, that snow was a nice slap you in your face for thinking its spring! That's what happens in the North. Looks so pretty tho. In Southern Michigan, we've got no snow or ice and I hope it stays that way!! I live with my daughter and her family and, so far, we have a little piece of yard tilled up to put in a small garden. It will be our first in many years. Just a few tomato's, peppers, green beans. We will have to see what we can fit in. We have alot of deer around here tho so not sure what we will get. Enjoy watching you push snow, and the chicks look good. Have a great day.

[@twinhavenhomestead4520]

We got 8 inches down here in Mason, too! Most is gone already, 60* today. Thank goodness for the new greenhouse hubby built me this year, all my plants are loving it.

[@KevinCoop1]

Al, a few information points. In NEC, cords are not allowed to be run through walls, floors, ceilings, windows or doors. Includes extension cords. Also, cords used outdoor should be sunlight resistant. Most are for indoor use. When using the Kubota, slightly tilt bucket up, and push the handle all the way forward to position for float function. If you want more control of bucket while pushing, slow the engine down. Much easier to control. Respectfully, Kevin.

[@keithrayeski6417]

And a heavy wet snow at that...which means....high water content melts very fast this time of year!! I’m thankful we had such a mild winter...

I knew winter might come to you again but was hoping it wouldn’t... Gina I bet your so thankful you drive to work any more. Sending love from central Texas.

All the tough stuff will be done when you are older and you will just be able to enjoy and live off the land. Thanks for letting me watch.

We call your truck Hoss and Big Boss. I could watch you plow for hours :). Still sorry about the snow. My birthday is in late April, and every other year it snows on that day.

[@wayneleamon3186]

You should get you some conduit big enough to rub the drop cord going to the broader house. That will keep you from running over the drop cord with the mule, truck and tractor. I ordered my chicks this morning, 15 Buff Orphingtons. We're so excited. It's been a little over a year since our 2 chickens was killed. They were free range but these will have a cool with a rub to live in. Tell Olivia to enjoy her snow, this may be the last one for the year.

[@williamcottam3719]

Hi, love watching these videos even though I am not a homesteader just watched you doing our snow ploughing and I think it might be a good idea to use what we would call jockey wheels on the plough instead of those height-adjustable feet they seem to dig into the surface. I used to work for a local authority and in the winter I used to do ploughing and gritting on our roads_highways as you would call them all our snow ploughs had wheels on the blades.

You use clean snow, milk, sugar and a little vanilla flavoring, mix it to an ice cream consistency. It is delicious and if you want you can use sweetened condensed milk in place of the sugar. You can also put some chocolate syrup on it. You should try it! Whenever we know it is gonna snow we set out a bowl to catch snow.

[@jeanwoodall1523]

It's usually the same way here in West Virginia. We've had a few seventy degree days and then a couple of fifty degree ones. We're in the South Western side and in a valley so we just get the cooler temperatures. We have the usual mud and algae, not snow. Our Spring weather usually teases us until May. I love the cooler temperatures though since there are less pests then. We won't be able to garden here since we live on rented land and have restrictions on what we can have outside. I'm hoping we move to our own property but some work needs to be completed before we can live there.

I am in Memphis and it has been in the 70-80 range a lot while we are on self quarantine. Seems longer than has been.

People can walk or run without being close together physically. It has been an even more precious gift now.
