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!

Happy birthday, Olivia! Enjoy!

😃😃😃😃

[@dianehill5675]

You cannot please everyone Al. Your videos are great to watch on a daily basis. Love watching you collect the eggs each day. The canoeing today for Olivias birthday was fun. There will always be a few who put you down, let it wash over you, nearly all of your followers love your videos. X

[@simplyblessedacres6650]

Happy birthday Olivia! You have grown so much! I remember watching you wanting to help cook and you could barely see over the counter! You and your parents are the best on "the tube" blessings to all of you!

[@nancycowan6109]

We live in the middle of a big city, and we have to shop and buy organic from grocery stores. It’s expensive to choose and eat healthy foods. I really enjoy watching your family grow and harvest your own clean delicious food. Pork, chicken, veggies and those beautiful eggs! Oh my! Happy birthday, Olivia. 🎂❤️ (Oh yeah, my favorite birthday cake when I was young was angel food cake with chocolate pudding and whipped cream.)

[@ancimargarita2763]

And I wanted to say that all you post is interesting, all you do as a family, working, having fun, cooking, what ever is interesting, is heart warming, and I wanted to thank you for allowing us to be somehow part of this everyday adventure, and please, remember that what ever you post, there will be hundreds of us who absolutely love it. So do what YOU like and want, because WE will love it for sure.

[@donaldmiller8629]

Gooooooood Evening Al , Gina & Olivia , Happy Birthday Olivia ! Gee , you're getting older by the minute. lol Good job on the cake . ( with Mom's guidance ) Your cake looked perfect. Al , I would not worry about showing the butchering of animals for food. Some may be watching your channel for entertainment and they live in lala land where all meat magically shows up in the supermarket all wrapped in plastic. However , there are also many of us that tune in to see what you are up to and to learn from you. For example , your $30.00 chicken tractor. Such a good idea that I made one. And then I improved upon it. Mine now has two stories on one half and contains nesting boxes , roosts and an automatic rain fueled watering system. All because of you. I also used a one gallon garden sprayer to spray it with wood deck waterproofing with transparent teak stain. The chicken tractor just may be the prettiest structure on my homestead. Sometimes when a pond like that is full of undersized fish , it is because it is overpopulated. Meaning that there is not enough food available to allow them to grow larger. I know that it was more sportsman like to put them back in the pond. But you may not have been doing them or their brothers any favors. It did get Ling's attention ! What's he doing ? She asked. Why does he not take them home and eat them ? They were small but eight more would have been a meal for the three of you.

[@sashcraft51]

Just loved this whole slice-of-life vlog. The lake, the animals, mommy dau baking, and Al’s very pleasant narratives. Happy happy day, Livy.

So lucky to be able to see a Bald Eagle in action! Magnificent birds of prey! So beautiful paddling into the clouds on the water! Happy Birthday Olivia!

[@perryfox6060]

I'd love a "homestead tour" where you show us the whole property, either with drone footage or a map or something. I often find that I'm confused on where everything is located in relation to the other parts of the property, and there are random sheds and buildings all over that I find myself wondering about.

[@elainehickman4200]

Happy birthday Olivia. Thank you Lumnahs for sharing your day with us. Content varied and entertaining. Keep us guessing with lots of projects. Showing realities of homesteading life, failures and successes. Keep up the great work. Hope you enjoyed your time on that beautiful lake. It was gorgeous😊

[@karlgriggs8887]

When I was young I watched "Green Acres" when it was on tv. So watching "Lumnah Acres" just seems right. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your lives. Most of us have follow for long enough that when you do things not related to the farm, we feel like we too are on an excursions, small trip, vacation, time out, just a break from the day. I for one live in Arizona, the scenery is nothing as you have where you live, it's fun thank you...!

[@estaisadore6188]

Well said

Happy Birthday Olivia🎂. Enjoyed watching you make the angel food cake. My mother used to make angel food cake from scratch and she never used a mixer. All by hand and it always turned out great. Learn all you can from your parents.

I think a lot of us tune in to see the every day life and happy positive nature you have so you do you! Share what you feel comfortable sharing and dont over think things. :) We are just happy to see you guys progress and thrive.

Happy birthday to you Olivia, I trust that you had a great day. Thank you for helping your Mom and Dad on the farm. God bless you and your parents! 🎂🎉🎊💖👏👍💯

[@Mark_Nadams]

Happy Birthday Olivia. Hope you had lots of fun kayaking at your favorite pond. That angel food cake looked delicious. Al, those black spots on the perch are parasites. They come during the heat of the summer so the best time for perch fishing is winter or early spring when it is still cold and the parasites are not on the fish. If you want to catch any trout in that pond you need to find the deep spots. Trout like cool water and will stick to where the thermocline is and below. Any quick drop-offs are good spots. Often trout will be right at the edge of the thermocline so they can forage on the bugs and small fish that like warmer shallow waters and still stay in their comfy cool water.

[@juliacaticchio]

I’d love to see a day in the life type of video. From morning to night of all the animal chores and different daily tasks on the farm

[@judyedwards7239]

Al, in Florida we call those fish speckled perch. They make a good breakfast fish with eggs, grits and biscuits. Looked like a beautiful day to be out on the lake and kayaking and fishing. Livie great job baking..Happy Birthday Livie.

Good to see I'm not the only bee sting wimp, AL. As we went through our yard in Hampton Roads, VA after Isaisas hit, tore our cable wires and siding off the house, downed tons of pecan tree ll imbs, we picked up a tarp to use to cover the exposed part of the house and we're swarmed with bees. Between my husband, myself and one of our beagles, we suffered 7 bee stings. Ouch. I feel your pain. Literally. We used aloe from our plants. I enjoy whatever you want to show us. Love to see all your progress, and especially love the goats.

Happy birthday Olivia! and yeah, i also wouldn't mind seeing the harvest, especially of the turkeys. and more on the progress of harvesting in the greenhouse.

Once you're done with the meat birds this year, I'm looking forward to seeing what the total cost and total value (if you had purchased them) works out to be. I'd like to see a video of how that gets broken down, how you plan out your purchases, etc. Based on what you've harvested so far, I think I projected almost 600 pounds of poultry this year, Amazing!

[@silverfox9303]

Cost is a factor sure, but here we have chickens reared without being pumped full of hormones when growing, then water to add weight at processing, chickens of that quality would and should be much higher value than your average supermarket offerings.

🐠🦈🐟The black spots are parasite larvae . They are flat worm larvae.They can be on the skin, fins, and flesh depending on how bad the infestation is. We will eat fish with them. I personally don't eat them if I see it in the flesh. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Olivia!!🎉🛍🎂

[@camilledanielson2660]

Trout will go deep if the water is warm. They also like their bait to sit off the bottom. I bet if you got a bobber, and let the hook and worm sit about 2 feet below it, you will catch some trout, or even bigger perch. I have the best luck using power bait, and letting it sit, with a tiny jerk of the line once in a while. Trick is that warm water means they are deeper. They also like fuzzy or furry lures if trolling. You could troll on the kayak pretty easily. I could watch fishing all day long, and then some. 😊

[@robhakeman5873]

If you have weight on your line my dads saying was when you let your line out it goes a foot a second and you try to keep your bait about a foot off the bottom. My dad has a 2 acre pond off his patio in Ohio and we would go out to Ohio and fish lake Erie for walleye and perch.

I have an old vintage four legged bathtub. Several years ago I filled it with junk. Chunks of cement big rocks plastic jugs that kind of thing. And then I put soil on the top. Well over the last few years I’ve been out of commission. And not been able to do anything with it. So needless to say it had gotten some weeds in it. The other day I was pulling them out I was going to plant some kale in it. Boy I’ll tell you what. Did I get a surprise. Bees up my shorts. I don’t think I’ve ran that quickly in years. Now mind you I’m in my 60s and last year thank goodness I had both of my hip joints replaced. That being said. I can run pretty darn quick now. So picture this I’m running across my garden my sons behind me swatting the bees 🐝 from me. No I’m not done with the story. I’m running bees are Buzzin up my shorts. We have a privacy fence where we used to have a pool. Needless to say I headed for that and dropped my shorts right outside. With bees in them. My son had to go get me a towel so I can make it in the house to treat the almost 10 stings I got. This was a few days ago and they are still driving me crazy. End of story. I thought this would be good for a laugh . Also true story.

[@MKCarol-ms7lg]

Made me laugh but it does sound painful. Wishing you rapid recovery.

[@coffeetish]

If they are that aggressive you should have them removed. The danger to your family can be extreme. If you are in the southwest the bees are being taken over by Africanized bees are they are deadly. Be careful and you can find people on KZbin who do removals that will be happy to talk to you about them.

[@ann2155]

The bees were aggressive because I tore up their hive. Had I not been pulling weeds from the area where they created their home they wouldn’t of bothered me. When I pulled up a section of the weeds and soil everything came with... exposing the hive. That’s the only reason they were aggravated. I went back a couple hours later placed the weed and soil back in place and they’ve been fine ever sense. I live in the Northeast. These bees are called miner bees. They live in the ground. And I have messed up their world. That’s why they were angry.
