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!

Al, just a tip to help keep your greenhouse warmer in winter.... You can place black painted 1 gallon water jugs throughout the greenhouse. The water will absorb the warmth from the sun's rays and slowly release it at night.

You say the ducks added some noise to the homestead, have you ever thought of getting a goose or two, ( no males ) as guard geese and as pets for "homestead background music". I know they are messy and loud if you have a flock, but one or two I think would be fun, especially if you get them very young and they imprint on you and you are their humans! I know The Bronx Zoo has a goose that interacts with the staff and greets the visitors, and follows a staff member as she does her chores! Look it up. I forgot his name. Eggplant looks delicious, rollatini is also good ! Happy fall gardening and God Bless. (I think the ducks moved on to the next phase of their life, whatever that is!)

We lightly flour with rice flour and potato starch then fry the eggplant most often. But we also like it roasted, we put it in our spaghetti sauce, we dehydrate then and use them as thinkener. Its a very versatile fruit. And since it has a buttery taste its works better in some soups as a thickener, rather than squash, for a gluten free option.

Your videos are so entertaining. It's well worth our time to help you out when requested. Time to solve the missing fowl mystery. Maybe some geese as a replacement. We get attached to the animals and miss them also. Their antics bring smiles. I've replaced my regular tv with YT. Funnier than regular tv by far and it's an honest humor. The animal's inborn traits offer an innocence I need more than the world can give me now. For me it's easy to be cynical if I don't watch a higher quality of entertainment. So what I'm saying is some humans have forgotten how we're suppose to behave. Thanks so much for your kindness and gentleness without getting wimpy. We love you. Blessings

I think it's sad Maverick and Goose haven't been seen. It's important to recongise that Al is one man and can only do so much. He have everything set up to protect them and feed them. Yes he could confined them somewhere but then they couldn't be ducks, so what's the point? Farm life is raw and a bit crazy. Although there is immense freedom, gratitude, and fun involved there is also realities of life like death that you come very familiar with living on a farm. Sometimes things are what they are and you can only do as much as you can. The good thing is those two ducks had a far greater life on Lumnah Acres compared to anywhere else.

I worked in a restaurant in Milford NH. We would peel the eggplant (the skin gets rubbery), slice them on the slicer for an even cut, dredge them in flour, egg wash and bread crumbs. We would fry them until they turn brown, let the oil drain off and layer the eggplant with marinara and mozzarella cheese in a casserole dish. Simple and delicious.
