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!

every video you say, good morning modern steaders....lol...I am not a modern steader,I am an old lady in a high rise but I love your channel. i watch every video while you hammer away making things and take care of the goats and chickens. now I get to watch your baby goat grow.

You calling her "mini Willow" makes me think you should name the new little one Twiggy.

[@donnanorgrove194]

Love this name

[@matthewgroff433]

Lol like The super model Twiggy from the 60’s

Sorry but what happened to the two babies?

[@cherylemaybury9967]

We grow tomatoes all year round here in Queensland Australia. I love fresh green beans, snow peas, and bell peppers or as we say capsicums. I also grow Queensland blue pumpkins because we love cream of pumpkin soup. Of course, we have to have strawberries and passion fruits too.

Why do people always Park their Carry Vehicle a distance from their Load? Parking closer aways makes Loading easier.

I thought the same thing. But it's Al doing the work-not me. My wisdom filled years have taught me to be very selective about sharing that wisdom with care and love.

[@tdhawk167]

Don't forget to touch her belly and legs, hooves and tail too! So it will be much easier for us vets, or you guys, to maintain her feet and to treat her, if she ever needs vet care to those areas of her body, Livy. ☺️❤️

Willow’s baby is growing fast!! Loved seeing her venture outside!! In lower southeast we have finished planting our garden in our high tunnel house. Will harvest first squash late this week. Waiting on favorite of early green peas which hopefully will be ready late this week. You will love your high tunnel!!

Good morning Lumnahs. I love the loving interactions between Gina and Olivia

[@jackd.ripper7613]

Let me guess: A stump grinder and a chipper.

I think a basket lifts to put up the green house

[@brendamontanye9877]

I think stump grinder :). edited to add: oh, yup, now I see those branch piles so I think a chipper too :)

[@lindajohnson4204]

I thought of a portable sawmill, since he said the logs he was gathering to prepare for the equipment would benefit the homestead better in another way. Something like a "Woodmizer"?

[@nancylitton390]

Thank you for sharing your journey . The baby goat is so sweet, she's a Honey. Question... When will you be getting your Bees? Looking forward to see what you're up to tomarrow.... Thanks again. Take care and be safe.

[@straubdavid9]

Good mornin New Yolk City .... why are you using that applewood to heat the house? Don't you want that for your smoker? Seems like that would be a much better use for it ... you can use any old wood to heat the house. Those apple trees have stood on that farm for a long time, and if I had to cut them down, I would use them for the best use possible. Okay .... off my soapbox now ~8^) Willow and the baby goat are lovin the attention. Can't wait to see them on some kind of pasture. Do you still have your trail cams up? Have a very nice week AL, Gina & Olivia ... take care.

[@jacl4953]

bonjour , you should start a channel for the cooking , i see you like your ice cream from Québec :-) . merci

[@madampolo]

Here in Texas, all our beef is grass fed. We have 12 cows on our place right now eating nothing but grass. Our county has 16,000 people and 65,000 cows. These are the cows that go to our supermarkets, so there is no need to buy more expensive beef touted to be grass fed from some far off producer. Your place keeps getting nicer and nicer. Willows baby looks just like her. Good job!

[@DuyanFarms]

Hi Lumnah Family. We are here in South Korea and we've already got chilies, okra, long beans, lemon grass, garlic, green onions zucchini and a few other things in the ground. We still have some cold nights but things are starting to sprout pretty well. Cheers and God Bless. ~Mike and Ester~

[@MKCarol-ms7lg]

I guessed the number of eggs right today!!! I have so much fun at the daily guessing game. That new baby sure is cute. I love watching "the girls" interacting with her. Are you chipping wood tomorrow?

[@jimmywhite7856]

Man you need to slit that apple wood and keep it for smoking meat! Gooood bacon!!!

[@ginacota9724]

Al you have that perfect overhang off the outdoor kitchen to stack your applewood right near the smoker :-)

[@tales_of_the_crypto1583]

Amazing how great minds think alike I thought the same thing also!

[@OTGNewbie]

I hope he is saving that Apple Wood for the smoker. I don't think he is, sadly......

[@andhisband]

Had me questioning my memory: didn't they build a smoker? Wouldn't the apple wood be for that?

[@alezajohnson1908]

I'm wondering that too. Why doesn't he use the applewood for smoking hams, hocks and bacon?

[@suecave7139]

He has already said several times that he’s saving a lot of the Apple wood for the smoker

[@HarborHon1]

Well, Al, you sure do get a great workout just piling up wood. Know you're tired by the end of the day, but it's a good tired knowing you're providing for your family. The goat baby is adorable. I loved watching her jumping around. God Bless you all.

I've been watching your channel for a about 3 months & you're living my ( 25 yr.old's) dream. 47 years later @ 72, not in the cards for me. I sure do like watching your family live my dream, though. By the way, if you want to send some of the larger pieces of Apple wood south to Florida, I could make some pretty things for you. Just saying. Jim

[@stanleykeith6969]

Apple wood is good for your smoker. You need to tell you tube that there are too many trump adds on your channel. Did they give you that grill to try out ? Nice grill.

I live down in the sea coast area of NH and already planted some lettuce and spinach in my raised bed garden. Just waiting for the end of May to plant the rest.

Good mauhnin Lumnah Acres! Getting excited to see the greenhouse go up! Momma and baby are too cute! I am curious to see what you have in mind for all those branches/ long logs you put aside. Fencing or posts maybe?🤷‍♀️ Take care Lumnahs, and everyone stay safe and be smart!

[@genevievegreene1595]

Hi Lumnahs. I planted my garden late February up to the first week of March but it is struggling because of the drought. I just fenced it in because a neighbour dog was watering my bayleaf. Today I must dig it up soak the roots and plant it somewhere else since it doesn't seem to be getting any better. I have okra and squash and watermelon, sweet and hot peppers and tomatoes, a few herbs and fruit trees. I am mostly looking forward to the watermelon. How was dessert?

[@yvindascanius6061]

How about a partition fence from the end of the hay feeder to the outer fence. Then the birthing stall can have its own secluded area, where the new mama goat can go out if she feels like it. If a wide gate is included in the design, it can be opened up to the rest of the fenced area when there are no goats with young-uns.

[@SidBelcher]

In regards to Willow, when do you milk her vs letting the kid nurse? Just wondering if you can explain how milking works when they kid. Thanks!

[@dollyc4314]

Since Willow only kidded one doeling, she does have extra milk. The Lumnah's could be milking her and freezing the milk if not using in coffee or recipes, to use in farmers cheese. I know that they were milking Willow from her pregnancy when she had Little P, Maggie n Lil' Man. They stopped sometime after they knew she had freshened. As their herd grows they'll probably be milking to save for goat milk soap, lotions, etc if they want to.

[@tonygrimes13]

Crooked Creek Homestead - Lumnah Acres have said in previous replies that they will start to milk Willow 2 weeks after birth.

[@juliehiestand8180]

Violet is a great name for the baby 🐐

why don't you make some roll up flaps for the firewood shed, you know for the doorways? you can use some vinyl and pvc for them.

After seeing your baby chicks here in Illinois the farm centers put a limit of buying six per family due to people buying them up and selling out. Great video.

[@TC-dw6wg]

It seems people are panic buying Chicks as they want to become Homesteaders all of a sudden because of Pandemic. Same thing happening here in N.E. Pa. Everyone now wants to start raising their own food and their building shelters for the chicks out of the TP they hoarded! Don't get me wrong as some are genuine in their desires, but I'll bet too many will quit before they even get started and will have chickens running around in neighborhoods.

[@philjungels7617]

Looking forward to growing corn first time prepping the ground for it little concern. That's a lot of wood on your four-wheeler it dropped a lot I noticed a friend of mine uses his for firewood getting out of the woods and he had suspension problems I don't remember what type it was but just a heads up.

[@cfonvip5151]

I respect your work and your integrity ! But do not promote "farm food", they may work for you locals but online they are unreliable misleaders and pricey. Par example, they charge $10.00 (fee) on an item tagged of $50.00 "That's being called USURY which is illegal, non counting Shipping charges if you buy less of 10 Lbs. worth of meat (THAT IF YOU'RE LUCKY) could be good.

[@trippingonrocks1165]

That little saw is niffty and wouldn't take so long to sharpen. If you cuts aren't straight and get stuck you need to file flat your chain bar, a lip builds up under the chain and nothing a flat file can't fix. I think the goats just loved the smell of fresh cut wood, that was funny how close they came while you cut. Your oven bbq is cool, we use manuka shavings. Can you smoke meat in your oven? I enjoyed this video alot, I'm scared of animals but the lovely moment with your wife and daughter and baby goat nearly made me want one hehe nearly. Thank you all very much. 💜👍🏼

[@northernliving2387]

Good Morning Al, Gina and Olivia . Happy belated Easter. Thanks for another vlog. I'm thinking about it. But our Governor has in lock down. I can't go to the store and buy seeds or chickens.

[@matthewgroff433]

Every Spring I look forward to planting: Tomatoes, Sweet Bell Peppers, and Zucchini. I try to get at least 1 new variety of peppers and tomatoes each year if I can. I usually plant Beefsteak Tomatoes, Green Bell Peepers, and Red Bell Peppers. This year we started Pepper seeds mom had saved from peppers we bought at the grocery store; Green Bell Pepper, Red Bell Pepper, Yellow Bell Pepper, and Orange Bell Pepper. I'm not sure if any of the pepper seeds we saved were from the new pepper variety we tried last year, Szegedi a sweet Hungarian Pepper that starts off pale white to orange then red when mature. We had a few that made it to full maturity and were delicious! Mom started the pepper seeds at the beginning of March, a Little too early. Most of them Germinated. So we Now have about 62 pepper starts/plants! Then we planted 24 tomato seeds, 12 Beefsteak and 12 Brandywine towards the end of March. Well 14 Beefsteak and 10 Brandywine germinated. LOL Looks like we are going to have a TON of Peppers and TON of Tomatoes!! LMAO

[@jaynedavis3388]

It looks like Caleb has a bloody head, I hope he’s ok. I’m wondering if Buttercup will be herd boss because of pregnancy hormones. Everyone except Hope is Willo’s daughter so of course they listen to her. I hope it’s Hope too, she’s the reason I came to this channel but I stayed for the people. I even stopped resenting any clips with tools instead of animals 😂. Watching Al drive the mule 6 feet I had a revelation: Farmers are the hardest working, lazy looking people. Driving a few feet to load more heavy branches to the pile directly affects how long you can go without being exhausted & how long the job takes & how much energy you have for all the other jobs you have to do in a day. I’m glad you guys didn’t have to do it all without technology anymore. If you like machines & computers, consider farming because imo they’re always on the razor’s edge of tech, seeing what they can do faster, easier, better etc. it’s honestly so impressive. I’m glad I’m beginning to learn what hard work goes into my plate of dinner outside my mother’s kitchen

[@6996katmom]

Carrots, radishes, chard, kale, beets, and onions are all growing nicely (all but onions are under a small hoop house). Garlic plants are about 5 inches tall and loving the cooler weather here in Sycamore, Illinois. This week the nights are going to be in the 20s but with day temps in the 40s and longer daylight everything should be fine. This year I plan to train summer squash and zucchini to grow up a pole that will allow more room for more veggies.

We are using raised beds to grow tomatoes, squash, cabbage, onions, spinach, lettuce, asparagus, cucumbers, peppers, peas and we'll be growing beans out in the ground along with a lot of other things.

Put in the garden this weekend. Tomatoes tomatoes and more tomatoes! Also some squash and cucumbers. He planted a cantaloupe but we've never had any luck with them. We prayed over the garden and will let Jesus take the wheel!

[@Mellmick26]

I used it help grow tomatoes at a long term continuing care facility... we would put the tomato seeds in a bowl cover them with slightly warm water and leave them for a couple minutes.. any that were floating would not sprout we would start the seeds in seed trays with plastic dome lid and heated sprouting pad table that had a thin layer of sand/dirt over the pads and a temperature control.... we would keep the soil moist . When the sprouts were around 1” we removed the lid . When they’re stems were 2-3mm thick we would put them in small green pots... when they developed a stronger stem we would transplants them into larger pots and pant a chive in each pot to keep away the aphids.🇨🇦✌️❣️🖐🐣
