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!

Garden Netting we used on the Raised Bed amzn.to/2XPIP9B
It is good
Hey Al just watched a video on Living traditions homestead about soil temps. Don't worry about the air temp so much as long as the dirt temp is not to warn. Love your life style and building projects and farm animals..keep up the good work..enjoy.👋
Since your using clips to hold the netting could you just leave it on and put plastic over it when needed?
What happened to you yesterday I was looking forward
❤👍 Serbia
I really do not think you realize the extent of the good you do to all. You are an example, as a family, as a father and a mother, as a lovely daughter, as hard working people who are definetely not waiting for "God to solve my problems", but you are "here I go to do what I have to do to make all this work". You are a fun, nice loving family, it nourishes our souls and wakes the "I am going to work me too" in everyone of us. And then, the results are always so positive and nice, the advise you give Al is sound and interesting, and Gina cooking is so sweet and lovely. I am a chef, and there are so many things I could say to Gina about "do not do this or the other", but her cooking is so clean, simple, matter of fact if you can understand what I mean, so i do not and have never felt tempted to tell her anything. It comes out so nice, and you enjoy it so much... so.... there is nothing to be said but: KEEP ON ENJOY IT ALL!
Very true. Thanks.
Exactly my sentiment.. thanks
I LOVE the cooking segments at the end! Doesn't EVERYbody love watching what others are making for dinner?! Great, great stuff!
The bacon is having eggs for breakfast
LOL!!!
lol
Oh the irony... pass the toast please 🤣
Oh the irony, pass the toast please 🤣
How did you know what I had for breakfast?
Bug netting was a great idea. Not only bugs but rabbits and chipmunks also. Look at Gina killin it with that driver. Getting pretty handy with the tools.
I loved how Gina to the Camera around the farm and showed wild flowers and the ducks and just showed the Beauty in the little things in life:-) I hope she does more of that😀 ok off I go to watch this mornings video !
Same here 🌸🌿🌱🌸
Morning Lumnas suggestion on your thermometer. Place a post towards the center of the greenhouse for a more accurate ambient air temp. Being that close to the side wall will throw off an accurate reading.
I just wanted to say that I have been watching your channel for a couple years. And you are by far my favorite channel. I appreciate you allowing so many to watch your progress in homesteading. I watch every morning before work and have to say that every Wednesday, probably the first thing I think is, dang no Lumnah this morning. Thank you.
Grandma always said, "Never put soap in your cast iron pans!" When you clean them, pour a little oil in the pan, add some coarse salt( regular salt if you don't have coarse), and scrub the pan with a paper towel until all cooked bits come off, then rinse off salt, dry the pan, and leave the film of oil on the pan to store it. Your pan will never rust or stick for as long as you own it! I have a pan that is just as non stick as Teflon without the chemicals! Do this with all your cast iron utensils and they will never rust. Look up "How to season cast iron" even if they say "Pre-seasoned"! Good luck, happy gardening and God Bless!
Didn’t know this-makes sense❣️Thanks 🥰
Yes, I never use soap. My pans are indeed like teflon. I made omelets in my pan this morning. I use the metal scrubber (on amazon) for cast iron pans when needed which isn't very often then I rinse and wipe down with paper towel and oil.
My brother heard a chef on public radio talk about cast iron. Restaurants have to use soap to clean them. He said to wash them, dry, then heat them on the stove to dry them really well and put a tiny bit of oil on them while still hot and rub it in with a paper towel. Just in case you want to use soap.🙂
Every time you use them.
Nancy Edgar that is how mom taught me to care for cast iron it works
You have to be one of the best homesteading families on youtube! I love your videos. You are all so real and the things you are teaching people is incredible! Even when you make a mistake we all learn from it. Thank you for being such a positive channel!!
My wife loves her cast iron. Once you get used to how to clean and care for it, she says she's sure you'll love it. The main thing is keeping it seasoned.
Al, please share the update on the bridge over the creek and development of the land across.....
I must have missed that. What's going on? Is this something on his property?
I guess I missed it also.
@@rosejafari8917 No bridge built yet.
Would you ever consider planting concord grape vines along your fences? I grow them down in southern NH and they are very hearty in our area. They require very little maintenance and the grapes make amazing juice/jams in the fall! Thank you for continuing to share your lives with us all.
I always put my celery leaves in my soups.
Maybe you could get a couple of lambs when the grass starts growing every year. They can mow the grass for you and provide meat at the end of it!
LOL when that hen shoved Rusty and he got SO offended. Chicks are looking great! A lot of people don't understand what it's like to live somewhere with high aerial predator pressure, and since Cornish Cross birds are so very slow, how easily they can get picked off if they're not in a tractor. I'm loving the greenhouse!
Every time you show us the inside of the greenhouse, I flash on that old saying, “Be careful what you wish for, for you may just get it”. When I see that raised bed of many zucchini plants, I wonder if you’ve considered how many zucchinis that is capable of producing. Many gardeners only plant 1 seed in 1 hill and they grow enough to make everyone in the tri-state area hate the gardener. I predict you will have enough to fill a medium size dump truck. Enjoy your zucchini bread, muffins, fritters etc etc. 😎👍👏
I love using my cast iron pans. I was blessed,my Mom gave me a few old pieces(they were too heavy for her at 89-90 years old). Over the years I got more and now use them and also use them as kitchen decorations.
Thank you for sharing your journey and God bless.
Both of my grandmas gave me their cast iron skillets before they passed. Some are very old and must have belonged to their mothers before them! My M-in-L gave me a square one! I love my skillet sand use them all the time! You’re gonna love them Gina!
50 gal crock, slice your cabbage thinnly, put a layer in crock add some Kosher salt, smash the layer of cabbage till you see juice, continue till crock is full or you run out of cabbage! Put a dish or something on top of the cabbage to weight it down skim the top occasionally. That's how my dad did it!always came out delish. Check how long to leave it and how to can, can't remember all that! Been many moons ago lol
The homestead is looking really great! So many changes and progress over the years.
Figero looks like he is enjoying the sun.
Gina, I have baked bread, fruit pies on the grill. I know that you can. I didn't have a temp. on my grill I just checked on it. Hope this help you. Loves and hugs from the little old 61 lady. May God bless you and your family
The meat loaf segment reminded me of when my grandchild was young. When her mom made it in muffin tins she called them “meat cakes”.
Today was a very busy day. Y'all get so many more things done as a team. take Care. God Bless
I love the way you showed the viewer gifts ! ☮
To see the animals all running to get fed is soothing. Everyone gets fed and are happy cuz it's warm out. Rusty has calmed down a bit. I would just put an old crock in his pen. Have a good day.🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅💚💚💚🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅💚💚💚🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅💚💚💚🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅💚💚💚🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅💚💚💚🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴😻😻😻
That was a big wasp nest! Love how you "took care of it" lol :D Been meaning to ask, that road that goes past your garden bed, is that a shared road with your neighbours? Your garden beds and green house are looking amazing! Those mini meat loaves cooked in the cast iron look awesome. I'm sure it tasted good too :)
the veggies are growing so well i am excited for you its amazing how much you have done on the farm well done and cheers to you
Great idea for the mesh onto low tunnel
Ooh No!, that's Olivia's shelter. Just think of Olivia stood out in the rain waiting for the Bus
When they were building the Goat Stop I thought it was a Bus stop for olivia.
@@shawnmcpeak6184 Haha!me too. Bet Olivia would make good use of it ,in bad weather
When we did sauerkraut we did it in a crockpot, when it was ready we would get it out of the crock . No canning. Back in the old days there would be a barrel of sauerkraut at the general store and you would bring your own container to put it in.
I think you could permanently mount your bug netting under the new PVC pipes, and use the clips for the plastic over it with the clips when using it as a greenhouse, making it even more convenient
Yep we really do love Gina:)!!! Thank you Lumnah for sharing.
Great video! It kept a smile on my face the whole time! What a wonderful way to start out the day😃 can’t wait for tomorrow’s video!
What a blessing you all are to us!
Its so wonderful to see a family take such good care of their animals, your videos are a joy to watch.
Good Mawnnning Lumnah Acres! The homestead is looking great, the meatloaf looks delicious! Have a great day!!!!
Love watching you guys collect eggs, cooking, building, plowing snow but I have to draw the line at watching you mow the grass.....
I'm happy for you guys, things are coming together beautifully. Your hard work is awesome and impressive. Thank you for sharing.
Good morning, Lumnah Acres! Your family makes an amazing team. The homestead is an inspiration. Have a lovely day and thanks so much for sharing your experience.
Thanks guys - that meal looks so tasty
Looks great that dinner. Well done Gina! 😁👍
Your cast iron will last many lifetimes. I love mine. Cooking the meat loaf in the muffin pan looked delicious
I love adding celery leaves to most of my cooking liquids. Yum
We use our cast iron quite a bit. Mostly the frying pan for cooking homemade naan and our dutch oven for baking our sour dough bread. We love them. Blessings to all.
Hi. Gina sage is a perennial you can plant it in your flowerbeds. I planted some last year and it's flowering this year. It's a low mounding plant so it's perfect for flowerbeds in the front and this way it won't take space in your raised beds and you can harvest well into the fall.
I use a vintage WagnerWare Sidney 1058M cast iron skillet for cornbread.
The feral pigs live on conservation woods adjacent to Grand Palm Resorts Community, Venice, Florida. They came over with Desoto in 1700 and now are protected. Sarasota County hires a trapper to trap them when they wander out. They find their own food in the woods.
You make me wanna start all of my seeds indoors! Have to try it next season.
Love your cast iron!! That biscuit pan looks like it would make nice cornbread - nothing better than cornbread baked in cast iron!! Great job Gina!!
Gina , I am shocked! Meatloaf without ketchup is like a day without sunshine!
Good morning guys your garden is pretty everything well put together.
It was fun watching the goats "helping" you install the mineral feeder in the goat shed. LOL
I’m so happy to see u reach 200k subscribers keep on going , well deserved
Thank you for sharing the information on the PVC clips. I may try some squash next year and the bug net will keep the squash bugs away. You have a beautiful little farm and are doing such a good job of bringing the pastures back to life.
I love cast iron, Gina you did a terrific job as always 🙏🏻👏🏻💖
Gina! Your cast iron presentation was sooo good. You have overcome your stage fright and become a terrific explainer.
Thank you for pushing through your fear because you make us so comfortable watching you.
Gina-brilliant idea for using biscuit pan for meatloaf servings-I'm on it! tyfs
Good Thursday mornin Moose Crossing ..... You could turn part of that high tunnel into a sweat lodge ~8^) I built one of those little garden tunnels this year over my 4x8 raised bed. By the time I got the melons in, I didn't need any plastic (went from winter to summer). I think I'll get some shade cloth, and try that during the heat of summer/bug season. I can grow radishes in it in the fall this year, and spring (if it shows up) next year. I have those clips that you are using as well, to make everything easy/tight. Your pigs must really like those hens laying eggs all over the place. Maybe you'll find a pile of eggs with a broody hen sittin on them. Have a great day AL, Gina & Olivia.
Good mauhnin Lumnah Acres! What a beautiful day! Take care!
Love the "Weed em & reap" shirt. You two are my favorite channels
In Australia we have mineral and salt blocks licks for stock. we get our blocks from stock and station agents. may have them in your country also and they are tops without waist.
Yes, we have them in the US also. I was thinking about same thing. It would be much easier to use the blocks, wouldn’t need to refill and like you stated - no waste❣️
TYVM 🌻🦋🌻 Lumnah Acres always enjoy your videos. Both of you make everything look easy.
Good morning y’all.vegetables and herbs and potatoes are coming along very nicely.
Hello from Minnesota! Here are somethings on cast iron cookery for you to look for. The Lodge Cast Iron Cookbook (this has bread and biscuits, and muffin recipes in it & Dutch oven stuff), the Lodge Cast Iron Nation Great American Cooking From Coast to Coast, and they have a cookbook for just Dutch oven recipes too but I have been unable to find it. I have a Southern Cast Iron magazine Nov/Dec 2019 which has great holiday recipes including buttery herb rolls. Also a recipe for crabmeat & smoked sweet potato soup. Apparently the sweet potatoes need to be smoked for 2 hrs 30 min to 3 hrs. Have fun! Get messy! Make mistakes! LEARN!!!
A lovely variety of chores and tasks today. Love the meat loaf in the biscuit pan.. great idea. Indiv meat loafs. All the kids and KID doing great :-)
Wasps are pollinators too. There are options to stop them from building hives in places you don't want, without eliminating them. Even as simple as hanging a paper bag that mimics a hive. They avoid the area because they don't want to encroach on an existing nesting area.
Good Morning from Oregon, are you still going to get bees. Oh Al please tell Gina Etsy has cast iron pans some vintage if she is looking for certain items still.
we are! We have to go pick them up soon! We can't wait!
I'm going to need to get the mesh cover to put over my garden beds to prevent the bugs from eating on the veggies. This past couple of weeks have been terrible with cabbage worms eating at every green leaf in the garden beds.
Gina, vast iron pans are awesome to use. Don't let them intimidate you. I've seen a lasagna pan once at the farmers convention. I'm going to look for it next weekend because the convention is next weekend. Great idea making mini meatloaf on the grill using your biscuit pan.
Nice to see Tanner in the video have not seen much of him lately. Love all the animals at Lumnah Acres.
You two work so well together. I am really enjoying your channel. Your family works hard. Your farm is beautiful. You can tell you both enjoy what you do. Your daughter is a hard worker as well. Such a sweet and pretty little girl. I love the egg guessing game you guys play everyday.
Good job you guys. Gardens are a labor of love and worth the reward. Almost to 200.....fingers crossed!!!
Watching this TH-cam channel has become a relaxing part of my day. Ive live a stressful life working in a high stress field, lumnah acres is a good stress reliever.
Hiya, great video, as usual. The three of you should smile more, you all have wonderful smiles... Stay safe... Steve...
Gina your going to love cooking with cast iron! By the way the homestead is looking beautiful!!
Good Morning Lumnah Family. I enjoy watching your channel, because you are always giving us good hints to growing food! 😇😇😇👍👍👍
Thanks for another great vlog. During the summer I do cook outside alot.
Hey Al. Next time, consider moving the wasp nest. Wasps are a gardeners best friend. Their favorite food is the caterpillars that go after your veggies.
Looking forward to learning about cooking with cast iron, so please keep showing how you learn x
Love when you go thru the morning route. When the goats are on the milking stand, its their breaks from motherly duties and like a woman going to the beauty parla. They are brushed, washed, milked and pampered with special food. Luxury. There only one thing missing, a Petticure. LOL You make a fantastic life for your animals.
Gina, you look very comfortable using the machinery to mow the lawn. Thumbs up.
Instead of making small meatloaf in that cast iron pan, I would try making muffens. Can't believe you had 40 degrees. G-D Bless and stay safe.
wow Gina your awesome! love your show ! miss you when you don't post
Your commitment is commendable. Family faith farm and these inspiring videos. Thank you so much and God bless
For the sour crout we use a crock and layer cabbage leaves and salt. Ive seen my grandmother fill a 20 gallon crock and not only cabbage but collards as well. A Southern tradition. As they place it in the crock they pack it with a wooden dowel to allow the salt to do its thing, then they use a ceramic weight on top and cover it with cheese cloth.
what a fantastic garden, never have to buy fruit or vegetables ever, enjoy all your video's best wishes from the UK.
Dinner looked amazing!!!❤🙏
Green house is looking awesome! Plants are growing so fast. You and Gina seem like the dynamic duo! I really like the goats, so weird and confusing. Hope you get a cow soon. Like your vlogs!
Dinner looks scrumptious.
Love cooking with my cast iron skillets and pans , they are 100 yrs old they were my grandmother and my moms and now mine. I don’t have a lot of land but you motived me to get a small green house. Waiting on it to come in. My goal is to grow tomatoes all winter in it. Then try other vegetables. Have a Blessed Day
Cool idea with the cast iron muffin pan! I will try it!
Good morning Lumnah family =)
Wow..Rusty is a meanie but I love seeing all your chickens. Awww Figaro
Love the Cast iron griddle and the biscuit/muffin pan. I have a few cast iron pans and they are
Intimidating to me also. I guess g I cooked with them more I would get used to them. Thank you for sharing your homesteading ideas.
Oh you’re sooo close to 200,000 subscribers. So good for you. Your content is so interesting and varied it’s no wonder you have so many followers. It’s a joy to at watch your family and all they do to help. Keep up the good work and you’ll be seeing 1,000,000 soon.🙀😷stay safe
Gina when I do meat loaf on the grill I ad an extra egg form my loaf and cook directly on the grill.
That way the grease can drop down.
You are very skillful, the farm and the animals are getting prettier. Perfect family! I watch videos about Hungary every day Regards👍😊🇭🇺🤝
Gina, you will love your cast iron pans. I have been cooking with mine for 52 years. Mine are so seasoned, the food does not stick a bit. I won't cook in anything else. You will love that griddle . I use that for a lot of things and your double handled pan will be your workhorse. Keep them seasoned well and they will become family heirlooms. Have fun cooking!
Really love the interchangable raised bed covers (netting or plastic). So convenient and look sharp too. Oh, am so enjoying the close-ups! Especially Figaro. lol
Love the greenhouse garden beds. Everything is flourishing. My spinach, kale, onions, carrots and tomatoes are coming up in my self-wicking tubs. Plus I have a cabbage that was from scrap, that I started in water then potted. It is doing so good. Much love from OHIO ❤️❣️❣️❤️
Really enjoy all the music selections that you play with your videos...Larry & Connie @ Scoot's Organic
If you kept that plastic cover on and take the whole thing off by the hinges and make another frame with the bug netting, you can just swap them out- make it modular, save lots of time and energy
Gina once you get the hang of it you'll love the cast iron. I highly recommend getting the lodge bread pans. They are slightly smaller but get a couple and most bread recipes cook up amazing in them. In the summer I use my grill nonstop as well as my Cosari air fryer to keep the heat down. Love the biscuit pan, it will be perfect for biscuits, eggs, shortcake, and would be fun to see all the creative uses. If your area is opening up check thrift and antique stores for vintage cast iron. Once restored you'll never use a nonstick pan again.
I love my lodge cast iron. I do the same process to get is smoothed out and seasoned. It’s the only thing I cook in!
Like the cast iron cookware on the grill - looking forward to learning more. I also didn’t know you could dial in the temp on a pellet grill.
