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!

Camera we installed in the Birthing Stall amzn.to/39MvRvX *affiliate link

[@hocuspocus4871]

Were you able to catch Willow giving birth last Sunday on the camera?

[@northernliving2387]

Nice and great idea.

[@bettablue2660]

I think you need a triangular piece above the door to keep bobcats, foxes, desperate coyote out.

[@bettablue2660]

Jake Pickett ...I agree one hundred percent. Coyotes are very hungry up there right now, along with every other predator. Most people don’t know how high coyotes can jump straight up. Crazy high!

[@bettablue2660]

Jake Pickett ...they actually can jump up tp 13+. I’m an animal rehab volunteer and have learned lots about our wildlife. It’s the end of winter and these guys are desperate. I hop all stays well for them.

[@rebeccajones4624]

I love how Ginas “Momma Bear” kicks in when Willow goes into Labor 💕 making Willow comfortable and she goes right into Midwife mode🌻

[@MitzaCreek]

We installed cameras a few weeks ago and everyone is always watching! We’ve had 2 lambs give birth so far and one had complications that we probably wouldn’t have caught in time had we not had the camera.

[@keithrayeski6417]

Well, I’m not in lock down...so let’s get them babies birthed so the greenhouse built can commence!!😁 I’ve got to say Al, having you able to make the channel a full time operation and the whole family now focusing on this, is as big a blessing for us as it is for you! You work harder doing all this than most folks do working outside the home...so we appreciate you taking us along, inspiring and teaching while you learn stuff yourself. You all have done a phenomenal job!!! Tip of the hat 🎩! Now let’s get the job done Willow!!😁 And the pigs 🐖!! Let’s not forget the pigs 🐷!! Stay safe and healthy! Our prayers for you all!

[@onemorchatykathy]

Hoping Willow has an easy delivery and that all her babies are healthy.

[@margaretbedwell58]

I love the new camera..that is great that it shows through your phone. Glad you put up the fencing (although I worry about the top wedge) Can't believe the snow this morning and by afternoon it was gone. I hope Willow has an easy birth time....looking forward to seeing the baby goats. Have a Blessed day.

[@virginiareid5336]

What a wonderful camera Gina found. I loved Willow's voice! The protection you put in is so very attractive. Your building ideas and projects always are fantastic. God Bless Take Care. Stay Safe. A little prayer for Willow and the new babies.🙏

[@dgmills5351]

Best Wishes for Willow to have a good delivery and a couple healthy babies! 🐐🐐🐐

[@melindalewingellis1923]

Seriously Al you build anything beautifully. I used to watch Norm Abramson build things but Al you are by far my all time favorite. Gina if you read this, you married well , good for you and your precious family. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey.

[@70acres]

Little P can fly! We use the Wyze cameras around our farm. I'm stalking my donkey right now! I hope things go smoothly with Willow, Will we have to wait until Thursday for the baby video? Maybe a special Wednesday edition? Blessings to all.

[@southalabamafishingchannel2352]

I'm watching , for the first time, from my computer monitor. My wife and I have been watching, together, on our 75 in living room TV. I have never been able to read or leave comments until now. We enjoy following your progress as you grow you homestead. Keep up the good work.

[@southalabamafishingchannel2352]

We have been following you guys for about two years now. I found your channel because I was looking for a video on, How to build a chicken tractor. I watched your $30 chicken tractor video and that was it. My wife said to me , " wow, that guy is very organized, you should pay attention and learn something!" been watching every since. But no amount of watching is going to make me as organized as Al Lumnah! Al is somewhat of a perfectionist and I'm a "that'll do" guy. LOL!!!!

[@southalabamafishingchannel2352]

Told my wife, " I'm going to build a new Chicken coop" she said, " maybe you should hire someone with some skills, like Al, we know how your chicken coop is going to turn out!" I said " yep, your right!" So, if I could get Al to come down to South Alabama, to build me a chicken coop!

[@straubdavid9]

Good afternoon New Ham Shire .... hope Willow is doing well. Little P is showing you what a goat can do when they want to ... she's always been a jumper as you well know. Best of luck with all your farm goings on ... btw ... I would plug that hole above the door in the birthing stall .... bobcats can get through just about anything they can squeeze their head through. Take care AL, Gina & Olivia.

[@robinwilliams2374]

SORRY YOU GUYS GOT SNOW AGAIN IT'S BEEN QUITE WARM HERE IN KNOXVILLE I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WILLOW'S BABIES I JUST LOVE YOU GUYS YOU ARE MY #1 FAMILY JUST CAN'T SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR SHARING A PART OF YOUR DAY THANK YOU

[@kathysemrau2301]

Aaaaahh it's baby time for Willow. I"Hope" she has a easy labor, and healthy little goats. Bee keeping and a green house or hoop house is such a step forward. I think you'll have a very productive summer. Good luck with all the farming, and all the family members working together towards a better future. Have a great day. 🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙🍄💙

[@grandn8646]

I see you found your good bolt cutters :)

[@Creative-Chaos]

I really enjoy your channel. The reason is because you speak so nicely to your animals. I like watching the things you and your wife build. Thank you for a well done channel.

[@robertlafollette8931]

Looking forward to see Willow's new family. God Bless and stay safe.

[@sherriek3476]

I just love your family!! You bring peace and relaxation in a time of alot of chaos... very nice to see family's together 🥰GINA IS AWSOME KEEP LOVING THEM GOATS GIRL THATS SO CUTE !!!

[@chrisanderson9856]

Al you may want to consider putting something above the door into the birthing stall. I've seen a coyote climb thru a hole the size of a volleyball. I would just hang it by the rafter.

[@glyndevonport7802]

I would also temporarily place those chain link panels (the ones stood against the boys house) over the windows and the main door.

[@michelegramz8243]

Thank you for opening your home. It really heals my loneliness your family is a blessing and you are angels for me.

[@helloworld-steffie]

Good morning Al and Family Just won't to say congratulations willow and i hope you all have a safe blessed day

[@josephpedone2004]

Nice job with the goat panels and sweet potatoes are my favorite... pass the butter please 😊 have a blessed day Lumnah family

[@libbyandtroyrush921]

I was happy to see that we weren't the only ones waking up to snow in April 😃 Only difference is we are in California. Thanks for being an inspiration to all of just starting out on the homesteading journey!

[@pathfindergeorgia1117]

Gooood morning Al. I must say you Sir have great skills. Love you great work.

[@AhuvasarfatiSiberians]

so cute how the two Willows yours and DaNelles from Weed n Reap are both in labor the same day, good luck cant wait to see what she has

[@valerialamberti9037]

Nobody ever said: you are not very bright today! You are hilarious Al! Those pet talk with the chickens are so funny!

[@tangowhisky14]

Al, for piece of mind, I would put up caging over the door to prevent critters getting to the kids. Better safe than sorry.

[@nancylitton390]

Anticipation!!!! It making me crazy..... Lol!!! We won't know until Thursday! Very thing knows something is "going-down",and we are all waiting... LOVE THE DOOR!!!! It is sweet looking.And would be cute inside house too! Thank you for sharing your journey and stay safe. Many blessing on you and your family.

[@maryseifert4750]

We're all hanging out here on baby watch. I'll keep my phone close in case you decide to throw us a special announcement 🤗 How many chickens do you raise a year to feed a family of 3? Really like the look of the birthing stall. You always do such nice work. Olivia, you are a beautiful and gentle young lady.🤗 I enjoy watching you with your chicks and how caring you are with your goaties 😁 God bless you all 🙏💕

[@BroqueCowgirlHomestead]

Glad yall fixed that, it had me worried, but I would block that space above the door too, a bobcat can easily get up through there. I have had bobcat issues, they are stealthy. Hope Willow delivers with no issues.

[@DossFarm]

Man! ❄️ y’all haven’t caught a break yet! Stay warm guys!

[@sheilahauser7564]

Do you guys do such a good sweet job of taking care of your animals. Thank you for taking us along on the ride

[@sydneymcconnaughhay5947]

I'm so excited , you all are going to be so busy with all the babies on the homestead, have a feeling the piggies are coming soon.Be safe and God Bless your family.

[@gillianmiller8301]

Oh no, now we have to wait an extra day to see the babies as tomorrow is a non upload day 😩 unless your kind to us Al and give us a special upload, I mean, we’re all sitting at home in lockdown with nothing to do.......go ahead and make our day, PLEEEEASE 🤗

NOOOOoooooooo!!! Thanks for telling me that... I would have waited all day looking forward to it an ben disappointed ...

So exciting! So the builder! Can be build it!? Yes he can 👍! Keeping all of you in my prayers💕

Looks like your Willow will have her babies before Weed em and Week's Willow. Yea for babies!!

[@juanllasera16]

HAHAHA they copied names

[@TwoRiversFarm707]

Weed em and Reap’s just had 3 babies!

[@jeffthorpe8667]

You have a scrap piece of fence already cut for above the door. you just need to trim the length.

[@chrissy82019]

Al, have you seen Doris's babies on Weedem and Reap. She has 2 that look like Hope lol. Can't wait to see Willow's babies.

[@TheUserid82]

With them jumping out the open top doors would it be worth it to make replacement doors for the summer months using the same fencing you used for securing the birthing stall? A nice screen door for the goats to let air in and keep them from getting out.

[@rebeccahaughn8677]

It is so funny how you give animals human emotions and wants. Thanks for sharing.

[@sharibushnell190]

Exciting exciting times on the homestead new life coming in all directions!! And little P is a trip i love her and Hope a dope . goats are just crazy funny animals ! Well as i wish tomorrow was Thursday but its Not see you them . have a blessed day . Cant wait to see the new kids!

[@salonisalvi3484]

You really are amazing with the way you make exactly the right woodwork that’s needed ‼️‼️‼️

[@user-cq2ud3ow5o]

Hope has grown soo much!

[@edwinleach7401]

Love watching your videos. What in the world do you do with all the goats? They are fun to watch.

[@nanigoose]

I believe that a coyote could easily get through that opening above the door. You have the skills to make a wedge for that area. Then you can rest easy knowing that the stall is critter proof.

[@jimh4167]

Or maybe bobcat

[@jazminebohanan1317]

Agreed. Coyotes can jump well over 6' no problem. A bobcat could easily get in there too.

[@jeannecooke4862]

Beautiful completion in the birthing stall, wall and door! Looking forward to seeing your new "kid crew"!

[@jerrygibs8120]

Wow, a day of breakouts, what with the chickens in the lane, goats on the lane, and hopefully Willow babies breaking out too lol! Love to the fam, human and fluffy!*!

So excited about Willow will have her babies I hope everything goes well ❤️

Hey Al, how about naming the new pigs sweet-and-sour. you know for sweet-and-sour pork. Lol

Kjh great idea! 😂👍

Both the willow goats had babies yesterday! It was willow day!

[@hofferfamilyhomesteadindia7365]

you always do such a good job at everything you do. I am really looking for you to come and fix up my barn and help me get my homestead laid out appropriately. Very nice birthing stall.

[@JeffK1962]

Love the camera idea. Great move. You can check on her pretty easily.

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Love the stalls, those doors are beautiful! great way to put the metals panels in!! Gina supper looks wonderful! GOD BLESS Y'ALL!

[@JeremiahsLot]

I can't believe Willow is having her babies! Yeah Baby Goats!!! Just concerned (I'm sure you've thought of it already) but are the babies going to be too cold? Hopefully your weather will get warm & stay warm for so many reasons on your farm! Blessings for Lumnah Acres!

[@ginacota9724]

Great job with the birthing stall! Now they will be safe and we will be able to see everything with that camera :-) just a thought… I know it’s not a priority but maybe the chickens will stop getting out if you’re able to move New Yolk City to a new pasture area

[@joanneganon7157]

Good luck Sweet Willow! JO JO IN VT 💕😄

[@amrez2]

Hey Al! That left over piece of metal fence would be great in the boys feeder. ❤

[@maryjanepeters293]

Pretty amazing jump Little P 😯😊

Awww,, give her a radio! At least she won’t be feeling alone

[@elizabethmacdonald4605]

Good mauhnin Lumnah Acres! Oh no, please figure out how you can close in over that door. Too scary! Chicken looks good Gina! Love sweet potatoes! So excited for new babies! Stay safe everyone.

[@tweetybird4969]

I am always worried about your animals getting cold. Its really cold there! Can not wait to see her new babies!! ❤

[@karmamagers537]

Those chickens can get out of the pasture they can be eaten by a preditor. Just like CWC. Can you afford to lose more? I am glad you protected Willow while she is in labor. I hope she has an easy delivery. Can't wait to see her sweet babies!

[@fjwjr]

It’s funny watching the weather in your videos. I’m less than an hour south west of you and it’s like you’re we’re in different hemispheres.....

[@diannasills217]

I’m so excited. Can’t wait to see the babies!!!!

[@ourmidwestlife]

Love the farm cam Gina! Al, you guys need to move to Missouri ! We haven’t seen snow in three months and everything is becoming green and springlike!

[@lindahiebert5130]

Love the way you and your wife build things looks really good...

[@toedancer1148]

Once they get this size I set the water on a 2in thick wood scrap. This raises the water and it will be somewhat cleaner. I stopped hanging it as they used it as a swing!

[@figspigsandfeathers8179]

Love the camera! We use a dozen of them to monitor the coop, run, coop yard, piggery, etc. and find them to be a wonderful addition. We use Blue Iris software to connect them all together, for motion detection, recording and streaming. We have had okay results with connecting the cameras with wireless, but find they work a lot better when they are wired if they are in a location that will support the wires.

[@GoodLizardlicks]

The magical flying Lil' P, defies the laws of gravity!

[@ardenpeters4386]

Again another video of problems with solutions! And so neat and professional too. Love your entire homestead. Well except you super cold! I'm already putting seeds in for summer cause after this rain it's apt to shoot to 80's!

[@shirleymoore6902]

Awe I was so hoping to see babies at the end of the video & now we have to wait until Thursday stay safe everyone❤

[@idadho]

Al, You can use some goat fence scrap to make a screen in the cut out bucket feeder.

[@lynnlopez3274]

How did I miss this video? The baby stall even has a window. Cute! Thinking other small predators though: owls, and bobcats. Bobcats are ambush predators that frequent wildlife paths to prey on rodents to white tailed deer. Their diet includes mice, squirrels, woodchucks, moles, shrews, raccoons, foxes, domestic cats, grouse, various bird species, reptiles, porcupines and skunks.

[@tomscott3939]

build 2 more of your nice barn doors for the other end!!!

[@billonthehill9984]

I really enjoy watching the love & care ya'll give to all the animals. I wouldn't leave anything to chance when it comes to predators because when it happens, it happens fast. I think that triangular opening above the door should be enclosed too. Olivia's chicks roof opening up above should be addressed too. Great job here folks & thanks for sharing your experience in these trying times. I too believe there is light at the end of the tunnel as our president has stated, it is called " HOPE "... Bill on the Hill, Vermont... :~)

That's hilarious...."You girls are in labor every day...you pass an egg!" LOL!

[@donaldmiller8629]

Goooooooo Morning Al , Gina & Olivia , I am a little bit jealous , I am well into Spring down here in Ohio and I have not yet seen a Robin. I have spread out some materials for nest building but so far , no Robins. A light spring snow ! Not so welcome but it does make your farm appear to be so nice and clean. Oh Oh ! That tells me that the goats can go over the perimeter fence any time that they get a notion to. They may also be like , " follow the leader " , lol The male goats sure have a lot of hay spread around their paddock !

[@Ali-ct9pb]

I had a feral cat get into my patio room screened window to get the rabbit I had in there. The bunny hid under cover squealing, I ran in there and that cat ran like a lizard up and down and all around the walls and screen like something I’ve never seen. Then it made it to the window screen it came through. I’d hate to see a bobcat get in there. Winter pickings are sparse. Praying for safety.

[@peggybowe5556]

Prayers that all is going good with your family & animals. Love seeing what Gina is gonna cook. By the way, what was that you put in the oven alongside the sweet potatoes, Gina? Love your awesome life homesteading! Hate seeing it snow up there when we are having temps of 60's & 70's here in Kentucky.

[@janetwithers7427]

Oh, I hope you video the baby goat births. Exciting!!! 💖💖

[@212acres3]

SNOW!!!! NOOOOO! I built some new raised garden beds and planted some strawberries hopefully we dont get any cold. We have a goat cam as well. its a good investment.
