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!

Boy I wish I had such a beautiful carpenter assistant who can milk and cook too. Thank you Gina for becoming so much a part of the production.

[@kflan3342]

I was just thinking about all of the things that have moved from the basement: brooder, grow station, tools, feed. Who besides me would love to see a basement tour!

[@sylviabutler4809]

Gina did do a corner station and a clean up, but maybe the rest is on the "Honey Do" list for Al :)

[@jameswieser483]

Gina has become a master carpenter along with all her other skills. Olivia did great picking all those colorful collars for the goats. It’s very easy to see how much she loves the little black kid. It’s in her arms most of the time she’s with her. I love watching your videos, keep them coming.

Gina, apricot preserves or cherry preserves are fantastic on pork. You can make a glaze sauce and brush it on toward the end of cooking, then have some at the table for additional dipping sauce. If you require a recipe there are plenty on line.

[@sylviabutler4809]

Happy Anniversary to you two love birds-not sure what your day is, but ours will be 55 years on the 19th June. We had a small holding and raised Polled Herefords, Sheep, 54 laying hens and planted a raspberry field and had a home made green house. However we are just watching your videos now and getting so much joy from seeing how you have grown your homestead. So three so deserve all the success you have achieved, due to your excellent work ethic. You are a pleasure to watch and make our day. Blessings over you and all the stock, which we know also now by name!

Need little id/dog tags will all your goats names on them. Nailed on a wall....So one day when Olivia comes home she can show her children how many goats she helped raise over the years

[@Ronibearable]

OR, she can show her kids youtube videos of them.

[@Bunefoo401]

jay west ... what a great idea

[@marinigrey4913]

That is such a cool idea... To keep a naming plate or picture frame type of board to put all the goat tags on. Maybe even a small circle picture with each goat.. And even make it like a family tree so you can see which goat had what babies...

[@MARY-pd1xt]

Gina, OXO brand has a "Good Grips Green Little Salad Dressing Shaker". You can measure the ingredients in there shake it up and then store it in the refrigerator because the pour spout closes. I have it and love it. They have them on Amazon.

Planted our garden late, but already getting and canning string beans. Have also pickled some of the beans too. Many yellow squash have been harvested and my wife made some really delicious yellow squash bread. Similar to zuchini, but with a flavor all it's own. Meat birds are on their way and will follow your limited feeding tip. May God continue to bless you and your family. Who knew homesteading could be so therapeutic.

[@TheDevinhanson]

If you spritz your measuring spoon with oil, the honey will slide right off of it.

[@sandyseas8355]

Devin GR8 idea; I'm on it. tyfs

[@vmorganbogart]

I was gonna say the same thing but you beat me to it. Lol. Here’s another tip for measuring shortening. Put water in a measuring cup & start adding the shortening, making sure it stays below the top of the water. Say you have your water up the the 2 Cup line & you need 1/2 C of shortening. Add shortening until the water level gets to 2 1/2 C. Pour off the water and, voila, there’s your 1/2 C of shortening. It’s just water displacement. Sure beats trying to dig it out of a measuring cup.

[@thenameofYeshua]

I was going to say the same thing! Or if you're measuring both oil and honey, just use your spoon or cup to measure your oil first and then your honey and your honey will slide right out of the measuring spoon/cup.

I finally caught up on your videos! As my life would have it, soon after the world goes into lockdown, I end up more busy than I've ever been in a new job I had for 2 weeks before the lockdown. I must have been close to 8 hours behind watching. My days were so long I couldn't stay awake after work for more than 10 minutes once the hot soak in the sauna did it's magic. It was nice always having another video to watch regardless of what day it was. I'll kind of miss that.

Here's my salad dressing recipe... I open the cap on whatever was on sale!! Sorry I'm not much of a cook, and my wife is just as bad. 😀😀😀😀

[@DrValerie800]

Al! You give the pigs apples and grains together, you'll give them auto-intoxication! That combination creates fermentation of alcohol in the gut. Too much gas means they won't eat as much until all that clears out. BTW; you can make a heck of a lot of apple cider vinegar with just the good parts of those rotted apples.

[@lilliegibson5561]

Try oil, balsamic vinegar, honey and strawberries or raspberries. It's a light refreshing change.

I am pulling my radishes tonight. Our beans are up and beautiful if we can keep the deer out of them, we might actually get to eat some of them. Tomatoes should be coming in soon. We were about a month late getting the garden out down here in Southeast Tennessee. The weather would not cooperate. Our last frost is suppose to be April 15th but it was like May 15th. My neighbor lost all of his tomato plants.

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

One of my concerns with this style coop is what will prevent a raccoon from crawling under, grabbing a chicken leg and chewing it off? I know Justin uses the electric netting, but I also know that they have frequently forgotten to turn it on. Also, do you plan on only using it during your warmer months? Justin has a much warmer climate then you do. An open air coop is great for a warmer climate, but I wonder if it would offer enough protection in a colder climate like yours.

[@ginawhisnant9966]

Al has an electric fence around his chickens too. The chick-shaw can be pulled into the greenhouse in really bad weather if need be. They can always bank hay up the sides and cover the floor for extra insulation.

[@natehb]

The great thing about the electric fence, is once the predator gets educated that it is electric. The predator will not try again. Greg Judy says don't shoot predators, cause then you have to train a new one. Justin says his coop is good to -20. Below that you need wind blocks, but still allow for circulation, to prevent frost bite.

[@jasonskerbitz298]

Not only that (what the other 2 repliers have said), but I don't believe he (Al) plans to use it all year anyway.... just to be able to move them out on pasture more easily. Once Nov. (or first snowfall) hits, I'm bettin' they'll go back into the coop where they currently live.... just a guess on my part though.... not privy to Al's actual plan(s).... lol. ;-)

I watch a YTube channel called 'Friesian Horses' and they asked for a choice of names for their latest foal.... The names were Nelly, Marije and Olivia. I applied for Olivia and told about your little girl and how good she was helping out with the goats and chicken on your homestead . So fingers crossed, We may have an 'Olivia' Friesian foal living in Friesland .

[@70acres]

Love the collars. I went with neon colors on mine. Happy Anniversary! I'm not a fan of all wire bottoms. You're going to end up with a lot of amputee chickens and they don't do well. Also, that chickshaw is very heavy and on uneven ground it will take quite a bit of strength to maneuver that around. I also see our local 600 pound black bear ripping it to shreds and tossing it all over the pasture. That pork roast looked delicious! Blessings to all.

By chance I'm having roast pork tonight, with greens grown in my windowsill garden. I hope Buttercup is okay, good luck with the wee hunt. The chickens are starting to get into that compost pile. Looking forward to seeing Rusty and his gang out on pasture full time. Given the surprise chick is smaller than the meat bird chicks, and with the leg feathers, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it is a bantam type. Will be interesting to see as it grows.
