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 like to respect people's time." Your respect and caring for people and for your animals is one of the main reasons I subscribe to your channel.

[@maryseifert4750]

Al, you are an amazingly HARD worker !! Watching you put up the scaffolding by yourself 🤭...my goodness 🤪 This greenhouse would have been done sometime ago had it not been for all the glitches in the weather. I truely enjoy watching you and Gina working together. What a blessing you are to each other. 🙂 Having Olivia home during this time must be a sweet blessing too. She is a delight for us followers of your channel. She is a beautiful soul from the inside out. 🥰 She is growing up right before our eyes 👀👀 !!! But then, that's how it's supposed to be , right? Wouldn't want it any other way 😊 God bless you all and keep you safe and strong in His tender care. Lots of love and prayers from Oregon 🙏💕👍👍 Was excited to see Tanner this morning...glad he's healed up from his injury. I still can't seem to get my " guesser" working accurately....haven't got the egg count right for along time...😂

[@gardeningdianne]

It's getting closer to the end. I like your attention to detail, having everything ready so your friends are not waiting for you is great. Well done! I hope the tornado decided to take a detour and allowed you time to cover your greenhouse.

[@judyedwards7239]

Al you work so methodically and organized it is lovely to watch. Hope weather is good and no tornado came your way. It is so nice watching Gina and Olivia with the goat Mama's and babies. Sooo happy to hear you mention Pluto as I was getting worried something had happened to her as I hadn't seen her in a long while. Made my day!

[@bearrivermama6414]

Your greenhouse is going to be a huge blessing! I would loooove to have one but I will just have to enjoy watching your joy! 😁 not so hard.😊

[@romanaghost]

Dear Family Lumnah, I just wanted to tell you how much joy you gave my mother and I watching your beautiful family and wonderful life. She passed away this week. My brother and I are receiving great comfort from you and will continue to do so until the end of my days. Thank you for sharing the gift of your family with us. God Bless you and keep you. Much love, Louise and Phil.

[@screddot7074]

No matter what the weather, you have the best helpers.

[@agnestakacs2059]

Praying you guys don't get no tornado! Stay safe :)

[@moda78z]

I really hope that the weather calms down so that you and your friends can do the work on the greenhouse 🤞 See you Thursday! 😃🤚

[@hell0103]

Al, I throw all my egg shells around my apple trees. HUGE boost of nutrients while they decompose.

[@shwetamujumdar699]

Olivia is having the best lockdown life with all the beautiful baby animals on farm!!!

[@workingfolk]

About 10 years ago, a tornado somehow spared my small hoop house when I lived across the border from you in Maine. The commercial grower down the road in South Paris wasn't so lucky and lost all 17 of their commercial greenhouses.

[@1957mumsy]

Looks like Al was deep in thought when eating his meal I could see the cogs turning .. such an active human doing his best for his family .. nice to see in these dark times keep up the good work

[@janetwithers7427]

The baby goats are so cute. The greenhouse is a big project. Gosh, I didn't think you got tornadoes in your area. Strange weather. Stay safe.💞🐐🐔

[@shannonstephens4245]

We had a tornado watch last night till 9pm here in KY!! We are good though, BE SAFE GUYS!!!

[@spencerbass7142]

What a nice way to start your day, your family, animals and clean air.

[@Lani911]

Good morning Lumnahs... you’re right about the journey and how you want your high tunnel. The weather hasn’t been favorable in your neck of the woods, but your time management is excellent and I commend you and Gina for instilling good values in Olivia. The way things are going in the world, it’s good to have a plan B and C as you work on the homestead. Those rogue chickens sure are pumping out a lot of eggs. True blessings. Even with the crazy weather, we have to be vigilant. I was working in my yard and it started to rain. Hawaii has been having lovely breezes and sunshine ( though it threw a monkey wrench in my plans to till my yard.) It’s ok... it’s a journey. Have a blessed and safe day everyone 🤙

[@heatheroester6817]

Oh no not another tornado warning!This weather is so so crazy this year.I do love hearing the rain on the metal roof!Crossing my fingers for your greenhouse🤗Supper looks great Gina❣

[@faithrada]

Ohh YUM.. gonna do that for dinner. These guys are constantly inspiring us. 🥦🥔🥕🥣

[@deborahcrutchfield5022]

Stay Safe we are having a lot of rain and have had several tornado warning already this year with several Thunderstorms. Can’t wait for you to finish the green house. To see what vegetables you choose and pretty flowers also. Vegetable and flowers go good together and help keep some bugs away that will eat your vegetables

[@TheMindfulHomestead]

Props for working past a fear of heights. I was watching you set up the staging and when you climbed up on the second level, thought “Nope, couldn’t do it.” The store was pretty bad down here, but we were able to get stuff battened down quickly and pulled the cover off the mobile greenhouse, so nothing got shredded. 👍

[@sarahaugustine4185]

The weather has been abnormal here in NE Texas as well this year. Stay safe Al and only do what you can do when it is safe to do it.

[@mariannefifield3826]

I am so looking forward to seeing your smiles the first time you are working in the (completed) greenhouse and the weather is nasty outside.

[@donnachurch1242]

I can't wait to see the green house completely finished and i can only imagine how you all are anticipating the finished product😉

[@LOTRLewis]

Tornado! In New Hampshire? Crazy times! That greenhouse is HUGE! But why not go big. You'll find ways to fill it. I can't wait to see how you use all that vertical space! The three of you make such a great work force! When you think of all the things going on behind the scenes; the laundry, cooking, cleaning, editing, schooling, homestead chores and building, it's very impressive! But, Al, you look like you could use a little rest about now! Take care all.

[@45Colleen1]

Can’t wait to see what you guys are going to grow. Love what you are growing in the garden boxes.

[@70acres]

I'm not thrilled with heights either. Remember, I lost a dear friend who fell off a scaffold. We are having bad weather too. An inch of rain over night with another 4 - 8" of rain by Thursday. I hope your weather calmed down! Tornadoes don't like mountains, we might have an occasional microburst but tornadoes and hurricanes die down when they hit the mountains. Blessings to all.

[@virginiareid5336]

Another wonderful video. The time you take to show us all the animals when you feed is always appreciated by me. Your projects show the dedication you all have for the homestead. Take Care. God Bless

[@jetman258]

Putting a couple raised beds in the greenhouse, would be nice. First because they store heat for free, and if you put them hip high. It is alot easier harvesting.

[@vickilee2185]

Good luck with the weather !!! Hope everything goes smoothly.

[@bhavens9149]

I think with where you live this Green house is a huge step towards being able to grow enough food and variety to live comfortably! I think this is a great addition to the homestead, wish I could afford one sooner rather than later. eggs, I saute onions and in summer tomato with some avo oil and garlic salt , then pour the mixed eggs (with a splash of milk) over that and scramble them in the pan. in winter sometimes green onion. will also sometimes put in herbs for different seasoning, just ot change it up.

[@dottiehildebrand3123]

Hope no tornado c ones close. Hope you have all the people to get the plastic up on the greenhouse. Gina dinner looks great. God bless stay safe♥️🇺🇸🌹

[@edman6111]

I can't wait to see if you heat it in the winter or some hoop houses inside in the winter? Mine greenhouse is only a 8 x 12 only use it in the spring. I'll be upsizing soon though.. You guys inspire me!! thanks Ed

[@brentprosser5563]

Al, you are one goofy, cheesy yankee....and IIIIIIIIIII like it! I appreciate that you are so genuine in your videos. I’m 4 years away from my homestead and you’ve given me some great ideas and, more importantly, probably saved me from some mistakes. Thanks to you and your family for bringing us along.

[@kathleenperdue9753]

Can't wait to see the greenhouse finished, I know your ready to be done too & get growing! We're waiting for wind to settle down too so we can get our plastic on too. God bless you and your family 💞🙏👼💖

[@WendyK656]

It sure will be nice when you get that green house done; and be able to use it. I am just happy that you have a nice area soon to grow in.

[@rodonnacarson7864]

Our weather has been crazy here too. We had a frost earlier this month which is a little unusual for this time of year. Killed my parents' tomato plants so now we all have to start over. Can't wait to see your greenhouse finished. God Bless!

[@FensterfarmGreenhouse]

Just a suggestion for when you replace the plastic. Try using a good sharp pair of scissors. Its really easy to cut too deep or to far into the channel with a utility knife. I have done that myself. Later on that cut will manifest itself into a problem on the other side of the wire channel. Love what you all are doing here! Chuck

[@joebuckley9940]

Thank you again for sharing your lives with us, it is an inspiration every episode. Beautiful family life!

[@LivingtheNorthernLife]

Good morning Lumnah's! Can't wait to see what's in store for today!

[@margaretbedwell58]

I just can't believe the luck you are having with this roof plastic. I hope this time will be a winner for you. Have a Blessed day and stay safe.

[@jackjacke4654]

lol!!! died laughing when you tossed the feed on top of that chicken.

[@roshnipatel8774]

Me too . 🤫😂🙀 poor chicken

[@wendyc.5769]

So did I!! Poor chicken 🐓

[@genesnyder2985]

Peter Johnson what’s the name of your channel so I can see the right way to do things

[@moejaime2654]

@Peter Johnson The chickens look healthy and they are laying eggs don't see what the issue is ? either way once the field gets green he always moves the chicken coop around so they have a lot to forage for .

[@cathiwim]

Peter Johnson when the weather cooperates, they are moving NYC to a grassy part of the pasture

[@gruntqueen]

Love the sound of rain on the barn roof. I have the same in my house because I used spray foam insulation, which offers almost no sound-proofing.

[@sarahjane9008]

Awww man you guys cant catch a break with this weather!!!!!

[@josephpedone2004]

Good morning Lumnah family ☕️ A true friend not only knows your story, they helped you write your story... have a blessed day

[@lorismitherman5685]

Y’all could put a citrus tree in a large pot and have fresh lemon limes oranges in that massive greenhouse

[@lauriesmith7793]

Greenhouse can not wait to see all sides up ..I need baby goat time. Ms Olivia is so lucky.

[@elizabethmacdonald4605]

Good mauhnin Lumnah Acres! I was with you Al, my egg count was 16 also! Those roasted veggies looked yummy. Love them. Excited for the greenhouse to be covered! Take care Lumnah family!

[@paracop35]

Prayers for safety tonight - God’s protection on your property, animals and your family.

[@effdpaul1815]

I add parsley every time to my eggs. I also add an asian red chili paste to them. A little extra water added helps to make them fluffier. I occasionally add chopped red, yellow and green bell peppers to make the eggs a complete meal.

[@matra149]

In the pan I put a pinch of salt and some freshly ground pepper. White granulated sugar is added to the plate, but that is only for scrambled eggs.

[@daniellesduckheadhomestead3127]

Looks like a delicious dinner. Excited to see the green house completed. Maybe it would be cool to see you all growing some watermelons in it. But they my take up a lot of room. I hope you all have a great day. Thanks for sharing. Take care, see ya :)

[@francesbolen257]

I can't wait to see all the plants filling the green house!

[@thomascallaghan5988]

Great video,can’t wait till your growing eggplant and tomatoes in the greenhouse, thank you for your precious time kindest regards tam 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

[@timyowell4278]

Any plans for building the decks for the house this year?

[@russelldavidson7145]

Living in Alabama, Tornado Watches and Warnings are a way of life for us. We finally got around to installing a shelter on our carport and we have used it 3 times already this year during warnings. We have been spared each time, but having it is peace of mind.

[@Benelli-ex7oq]

Starting to look really good can't wait until the top is on take care stay safe ciao

[@patrickvandervalk3318]

Another variant of Tina. Whisk the eggs, salt and paprika powder and some sparkling mineral water, whisk the eggs again. In a pan, let out a little fat back bacon, the eggs and a little chives on top. Delicious!

[@estellaknox4488]

Good morning lumnah Acres i didn't know you suppose to cut the overhang plastic off, that new to me now i know when i put my little greenhouse up

[@80sarah1999]

Woot woot I got 14!!! On a side note I just realized that the shirt Gina is wearing the Sun set is outlined as a pig!!! Awesome!!

[@dakotawinds9291]

for scrambled eggs we add diced ham, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and add shredded cheddar cheese once cooked and on the plate than zap it in microwave for about 20 seconds just to get the cheese melting. Sometimes we add diced tomato or sliced black olives if we have any left over from taco's or enchiladas the night before.

[@danielleharris4724]

Looking forward to the green house being finished so all of the planting can start.

[@maryblaylock6545]

I was in botany club in high school. I love greenhouses! I like to walk in and smell that green smell and moist earth. The warmth! I have a little one that is collapsible. I take it down in the summer as it gets much too hot. Blessings on you and your family and friends, your homestead and livestock.🌱🤠🐱🕊🙏🖖☀️🌜🌠

[@larrybeabes6551]

Parsley in the eggs is delicious! Love the greenhouse. you inspired me to get one. It is not as elaborate as yours but I will be adding some additional embellishments to extend the growing season even further.Larry

[@Wavydavy24904]

You all inspire me to get more things done,love the videos..

[@spircklem685]

Suggestion for greenhouse: start thinking about how you are going to water your plants. Options are hand watering, sprinklers, or drip lines. Either way you are going to run a hose or water line out there. High tunnels are extremely productive but you don't benefit from natural rainfall. Probably most effective would be zone drip lines because different plants need different amount of water, but the other options could work as well.

[@patrickvandervalk3318]

We whisk the eggs with salt and paprika. Add a little milk and flour, whisk again and in a pan with oil just as you do. Greetings from Saxony, Germany from Tina and Patrick.

[@babs2522]

I'm looking forward to the plastic going over the greenhouse and seeing what you grow. Maybe you could grow some Grapes, I know of someone here in Scotland that grows them, love and blessings from Scotland :) :) P.s hubby and I sit and watch you at the same time and we guess how many eggs you get lol :)

[@moejaime2654]

Please be safe with that crazy weather !

[@wamblipaytah1600]

I add milk or water, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and poultry seasoning to my scrambled eggs. It nice to see Orange yolks instead of the pale yellows we get at the grocery store 😀😀

[@sroberts605]

Ooooh, sprouts in the morning - risky, lol. I totally get the greenhouse where you live - have one really secure one that's ok in storms. You can always add caterpiller ones for better weather times of year. The weather's so unpredictable these days that greenhouses are more valuable, though also more difficult - the one I set up this winter got to fly quite a way after a sudden violent storm here in southern England, before it was "extra" tethered. Yikes. Admiring your persistence and skills with this rather major build.

[@sandispringfelch1317]

“Don’t want to leave any ‘shop pots.’” My f-i-l was from Lowell. You can take the boy out of Massachusetts, but... 🤣

I love cheese then top it with Salsa..

[@michaelcox1071]

[@angelapalmieri3883]

That's called being "" considerate "" of others time Al ...I love how organized you are and how you pay attention to detail..that's very important..one dosen't realize the importance of that P.S. again...very green over your greenhouses....so jealous 🥰

[@jayrocke6067]

My wife makes basil olive oil from our fresh basil each year. (Stores great in the fridge). We start eggs off with the basil olive oil, in addition to salt, pepper, garlic powder, chopped peppers and onions...

[@debbienarkansas1926]

Tornado "Watch":: Weather conditions are favorable.."make a plan"..... A Tornado "Warning" means a Tornado that is on the Ground..Seek shelter immediately.. I live in Arkansas... Both are Different.. We have had Quite a few Tornados hit this year Sad to Say..Four Tornados on the Ground last week.. Prayers for your safety.. I miss Pluto..And yes! Scared of heights! Watching you work the plastic, there were points I had to close my eyes. om goodness! and of course, dinner=Looked soo good, so I will close now that I am hungry..LOL!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@dollyc4314]

Sounds like you'e getting our usual Colorado weather there in NH; while we're enjoying a 88° today. Hope the tornado passed you by and things work out for you and your friends to get the plastic up on the greenhouse. Nice of them to help out. BTW - I guessed 14 today - and two for Rusty's girls yeah me! lol Sometimes Gina, we do our eggs with diced potatoes, onions and mild chili peppers. Then wrap them into a flour tortilla with a little cheese and for breakfast burritos. Leftovers? Wrap in aluminum foil and put them in fridge for another day or for quick snacks. Easy to reheat in toaster oven. A little salsa or green chili on the side goes great.

[@josephbrown-ut9ty]

JudithB Finally moving plants out of my little greenhouse and into box beds in the gardens. I still need to build more and get bulk compost ordered. I am putting hoops over 3 4x8' beds with row cover on them to keep the bugs out of the greens and squash too. We had 6 tornados in south Arkansas last weekend, and lot of rain and wind here in central. Suppose to be dry all week, so of course its going to rain tomorrow. Good for transplanting plants but hard to do other things!!!

[@joanneganon7157]

You and Gina did a Fantastic job building the green house🙌💥! 17. We had that last week. U must be far behind. The wind whipped and the rain poured but no word of touch down. I hope it doesn't get charged! JO JO IN VT 💕😄

[@noelliasteers4765]

It's September 28, 2021 and I still guess how many eggs are in NYC. I love watching you guys. I started watching when you got Hope but then I went back 3 years to see how you started out with the goats. I love the cooking part too. Gina, Al, and Olivia you are all amazing people. Al I love the way you teach Gina and Olivia. Gos bless

[@LarryTait1]

This weather has been weird, up here in Nova Scotia, too. When it’s rainy and cold I don’t want to work outside, either. I’m with the pigs and want to stay inside.

[@tangowhisky14]

Hope you don’t encounter any tornado damage tonight. Great video as always, thank you.

[@sjc62759]

Besides the chickens escaping the mesh fencing, it appears they also squeeze out the latch side of that gate. Is that the only escape route? Perhaps a 2x4 would block the gap in that gate. Really enjoying the greenhouse build and all the other Lumnah Acres activities from my recliner. 👍😁

[@rickster9993]

Pulling plastic brings back memories. We waited one time for three months before we caught a day the wind wasn't blowing to hard. You can pull plastic with a small breeze. Irregardless, if a gust of wind comes up and gets under the plastic and turns it into a para-sail don't try to hold it down, let go. Make sure everybody helping to pull plastic understands that.

[@DrValerie800]

You might want to make a root cellar/severe storm bunker next on your list of projects! Besides, you might need a root cellar to store all those crops you'll be growing!

That is a large Greenhouse!! Must consider stacking some of the growth, such as aquaculture for the some of the more challenging earthen greens. In Indiana, it works great to have high aqua and low ground based and with all that height, this may be something you may consider. Love your show and your family, God Bless!!

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

Gina, all I could think of when I saw that huge onion, was what a perfect bloomin' onion that would have made! Weather sure has been crazy everywhere! Hope all is well?

[@karenedge7039]

I don’t like tornado anything...watch’s, warnings, it doesn’t matter which one I don’t like them. I live in tornado alley and every spring tornado’s is a common occurrence around here. Ugh.. The greenhouse is going to be so beneficial for your family. I can’t wait for the next video to see how that plastic is going to go up. I built a small hoop house after watching your video on it and I did fine until...yep, the plastic. I used so much plastic just trying to get it right. So I’m anxious to see this go up in a much larger fashion. Good luck Lumnahs!! It looks so nice !

[@stevesmith1894]

In Northern Arizona we have the usual spring wind. Otherwise our weather keeps switching between Summer and Spring.
