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!

Good morning Lumnah family ☕️ Thank you so much for the 30 minutes of peace, you are such a blessing in this time of chaos and confusion... appreciate you, have a blessed day
Gina is the real farmer now, barefooted and dungarees planting the crop, way to go woman
I was thinking on the same lines,I can remember growing up running around barefoot it felt good in fresh dirt like what she is walking around in.
You are the first people to show the close planting/fewer weeds method...when I did it 27 years ago, peopleblaughed at me...my garden was the envy of others, and minimal weeding required. Thank you for sharing your methods!
I still get it from older people. The look on their face when you tell them you don't need to till is also priceless.
It's great to have someone working with you,it makes everything go faster and someone to talk to while you're getting your chores done.lol Tanner
Your wife doing the huckleberry finn look's so fun. i wish i can fast forward this video so i can see the green house in full bloom what a sight that would be
Love how well you have everything so organized in your routine. You’ll have a huge garden this year that’s for sure. Your family is surely blessed.
Dinner looked delicious well done Gina ! I really enjoy watching how well you all work together quickly and efficiently, also the amount of respect you show to each other it’s amazing.
Gina was looking like a real farm girl. Had the legs on her overalls rolled up and she was barefoot. You both are such hard workers, a real inspiration to your viewers.
Your family is awesome. Love the barefoot gardening.
Just found your videos and I love them. Your farm is so clean and organized and I love how you end each one with a cooking vlog.
gina starting to remind me of the hillbilly girls were i grew up in tennessee on the farm, bare foot and Bib Overalls. that's not a bad thing but a great thing. ture farmer.
You all work so hard. Reminds me of my youth on the farm. We had a cow, pigs, and chickens.
We had acres of tomatoes, and strawberries. How wonderful they tasted. I now have a small garden in my back yard. But no animals.
Really need some happy videos right now! Thank you for sharing.
I find it less fiddly to put the mulch on first then plant through it. Water the plot the night before then you are planting into moist soil.
Good morning Lumna Acres ☕️.
Y’all know watermelon takes a lot of space. You might wanna rethink ware you plant them 🤗
maybe a spot in the big field, surround with an electric fence
I worried about that when I saw it, also. Lots of large vines going in that greenhouse.
@@lilywildkitties6972 ive never seen melons hanging from a trellis in my life, lol
@@lilywildkitties6972 Watermelons weigh a lot. They generally are grown on the ground for that reason.
@@susiessoapstuff1459 ,
I've grown Banana Squash along the top of a fence and they seemed to do just fine. Banana Squash can weigh 15 to 25 pounds each. For that reason , supermarkets in southern Ca. usually sell pieces of 2 to 5 pounds each. The trick is to have something that is strong enough to support the vines. A fence ? It sure saves a lot of ground space and makes the squash much easier to harvest.
I am so happy for your family, working on your dream together, thanks for sharing
Beautiful garden, chick's are growing! Everything is looking great! Have an awesome week, god bless y'all!♡♡
Lol Tanner :) Loving your plants in your green house. So cute that the boy goats love Hope, especially Zeke.
Earthworm - no doubt you already know as you zoom in on them - improve the quality of the soil, cause air tunnels to allow oxygen into the soil and turn compost into a higher quality fertilizer. Seems like you have conifers around the meadow - leaves falling off of deciduous trees are pulled into earthworm "tunnels", digested and turned into fertilizer.
They might also improve the soil in the greenhouse further.
@ JP dj ,
Just remember , earthworms like plants need to be watered now and then. There will be no natural rainfall inside of the greenhouse. They will improve the ground soil within a greenhouse turning compost into even better soil . A greenhouse , if not used for growing plants during the winter is a good place to house a couple of pigs plus a flock of chickens. They will keep the soil plowed up as well as fertilized. Ready for early spring .
Loved seeing Gina in the green house barefoot. My favorite way to garden. 🌻🌻🌻🌻
Good morning from the UK. We have another lovely sunny day where I live.
Keeping everything crossed that Hope and Zeke have worked out. 🤞
Despite the circumstances of why, it's been lovely to see you being able to spend this time as a family with all the animals. Those moments are so precious.
And I was wondering what I would make for my dinner tonight, but what Gina made has given me an idea. 😁
I just love to see you and your wife plant your beans together. It’s very nice to see you both working together!
Just love watching you all first thing in the morning. You all make my day. It’s awesome watching you all working together as a family. Been watching your channel for a lot of years and it just keeps evolving. Getting better and better all the time. Yay your growing watermelon. That was what I wanted to see you grow in the greenhouse. I hope the do well. 14 eggs today. Thanks for sharing. Take care, see ya :)
The greenhouse plants look wonderful. I am part aye through my first week without rain. I am thrilled to get the ground retailed and get some plants in. I have always thought Hope's eyes we're unique . I hope her baby(s) have them too. God Bless
Awesome work and stay safe, God bless
Good Moaning Lumnah's. Hope your weekend was a great one!!.. I cooked a ham steak on the grill this Sunday. My garden is taking off.. Peas are here. Cheers!
I like the fast pace planting sequences. When you first plant, they are cute but when they get to size, they are beautiful.
It's nice seeing how comfortable you guys are in the dirt!
Al and Gina, I admire that you get the meat birds and turkeys on grass. Is there any way they can be allowed to roam, like the laying hens, just during the day? I know that they still have a much better life than they would at a commercial chicken and turkey grower. Y'all are my favorite homesteaders to follow. I really enjoy watching y'all's construction projects - my Dad was a carpenter, so it brings back great memories. Love y'all, and appreciate the words you gave one day about making a five, ten year plan. There are some things I need to get done and seeing how hard y'all work and make plans, it seems do-able now. Thanks for sharing your lovely family with all of us. Love that you're able to have Olivia in the filming. And before I close - Love the baby goats. Them jumping around make me happy. Like little springs in their legs. Thanks again.
Your plants coming along very nicely in greenhouse. Try securely the end of the crank pole to make it easier to turn or find an old chicken house curtain motor to make it even easier.
Garden is going really well, thanks for asking. Rainy season started down here so Things are taking off.
Barefoot and planting, I love it! You two make a GREAT team!
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Everyone looks like you are tanning up with all of the outside work.
The greenhouse is doing great.
May you have abundant crops! Happy June! Wendy❤️🐞
Your peppers look great and will be taking off in no time. It's amazing how fast they grow once they start budding out. Thanks for sharing a great video as always. It's so nice to see you again. You have a great homestead💕
Im so happy for you , that you are now able to plant 🌱 a garden that is big enough to feed your family.
Thank you! Our potted veggies are doing good so far.
Oh, I going to make that for my dinner, that looks yummy, them babies are growing so fast, the plants look amazing, love to you all.
Family, the greenhouse is phenomenal! So happy for you. Thanks for taking us along!
The garden is looking great....love the low tunnel with the greens, it is so full now it looks like a quilt with long rows of color instead of patches. Pigs are doing a great job. Have a Blessed day. How about Weed em & Reap's goat that had a record 7 babies. !!!!
Just looks so good. Thanks for sharing.
I am excited to see Hope’s kidds. Thanks for blessings over the garden . Ours seem to be doing good so far. Hope the bugs don’t tear it up . 👍
Love the lifestyle, I was fortunate to grow up to adulthood (awhile ago) in a hobby farm environment that my dad had experience with. I miss it, and through your videos I get to feel it again. Thank-you.
So glad it's Monday only because I get to wake up to Lumnah Acres! Hope is my favorite also!
Gina my sister always gardens in her bare feet and sits to garden she says she likes to get into her garden literally. Can't wait to see the fruits of yours & Al's labor. Good mix of veggies & herbs.
All the best to Hope and Zeke.
💑🐐😍💍🎩👒 congrats 😀
Don Macdonald , our sweet girl Hope will be a young lady having babies. I think she will be a wonderful mother.
Thanks for the nice, long view of the animals this morning. Great to see them all doing what they do. Your farm is rocking with so much life and growth. and you guys are getting some good tans going now too. :-) I always enjoy your super fast chewing at dinner time. LOL
Oh man...seeing your plants in the greenhouse and the low hoops really makes me miss my 150 ft hydroponic greenhouse!
High-moisture overnight can promote fungal infections. Tie strings from the structure overhead for support for your cukes, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes. After they get much larger, the tender new shoots of your sweet potatoes are delicious.
You might think about putting a bench in your greenhouse for seeding your trays and preparing seedling soil with a sifter.
It would be a great place to collect and process the veggies you harvest.
Watching the earthworm during your bean planting scene was so neat.
Hi guys 🤔 thanks for sharing this video update 👍 yes our vegetables plants are doing well 😆 lost few tomatoes plants green house was too hot now leaving vent open at night 🤞it was a easy fix 😁👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Wow the chickens and the turkies are getting big. Green house looking good. With all that moisture the veggies are going to love it. My favorite is still New Yolk City. 😆
Good afternoon New Yolk City .... good luck with Hope .... take care AL, Gina & Olivia.
Camomile is so calming when your working around it
14 egg 🥚. My covered garden bedd turned out good, we put screens on for hail then we will cover it with plastic come fall. We loved growing purple beans so fun and easy to see when harvesting
Greenhouse looks amazing!! Makes me jealous. Can't wait to get to the point in our journey where we can start using one. Greenhouses are ALMOST a requirement to garden up her in Alaska.
Looking great man. Have an amazing week!
I really enjoyed today's video. Casual, relaxing. With all the horrible news, it's like a cold glass of lemonade
Good morning! It’s been extremely humid for the last few days.
Good mernin! Everything good
Purple beans are good, easy to see on the plant!
I think this is the first time I've seen Olivia cutting her own meat, she's growing up!!!
Your flowers look pretty, plants look Great in green house. My little garden and totes are doing really good. I have baby tomatoes and bell peppers can’t wait. My squash and zucchini are hugh with a lot of blooms and my potatoes are very tall looking great. I also have green beans they have little flowers on them. Watermelon and pumpkins are getting big.
Gina dinner looked yummy as always ;)
Al, I have a camp chef pellet grill, I love mine too :)
Excited for Hope babies.
Hi Al I am a big fan I watch TH-cam Every Morning you know what you need in that Greenhouse over the plants is a sprinkler for it so you don't have to bring in the hose every time
G/day, you are so lucky for what you are doing. It so relaxing watching you lot it takes the pain I have in my legs and back nice to put that a :-) smile on my face. Till tomorrow then.
Hey when I was growing up we planted our beans and corn together and the beans would grow up the corn. Made it easier to pick and it didn't hurt the corn at all. Thought you might like to try it. Love watching your show. Tell Libby and Gina hi and all the animals. God bless.
That mac&cheese looks delicious! Thanks Lumnah's! 👍😁
I see a Lumnah Acres Cookbook on the Horizon. Just make sure it's in a digital format as well. I am disabled and that is the only way that I can read. Keep up the good Al, Gina, and Olivia! I never miss a video.
Two comments today: What about watering your greenhouse and low tunnel plants once a week with compost tea? I've seen other gardeners on YT do it and it seems to give them quite a boost.
Two: Gina, have you ever tried broccoli stalks? They're one of my favorite things. Just cut off the bottom, peel the fibrous layer, then cut them into chunks about 1" in size and cook them with the florets. They taste a little different and I really love them. ~ I love your cooking segments! I've gotten a lot of great ideas for meals watching you and Livy cook. Some I have to adapt to keto, but not very much given your choices. Thank you!
Lauren McW ........yup compost tea is a great........I started using it about 18 yrs ago on high value hardy nursery stock in the UK........it helped almost eradicate the use of botrytisides in the propagation house and works as a great plant tonic, it also works really well with using insect predators to control insect pests as it is non toxic.
Great video and wonderfully informative!!!
Wow look at all that food in the greenhouse! I am sure hoping someday to have a greenhouse so I can grow more of our food. We like you are zone 4b and it gets to be a bummer when 31 May 20 we woke up to 39 degrees and this week it is going to be in the 90's they are say; but it can change hour by hour.
Hope likes to snack on the plantains. Smart goat. 🐐🤓 But we knew that.
I love making mac & cheese but I use yogurt instead of sour cream, it adds a nice tang to it. Hope & Zeke will make amazing babies! Blessings to all.
Try cooking them in some vinegar water to see if they'll hold color. Those beans can serve as an acid/base indicator. Smush up almost any purple vegetable, let the juice soak into a paper towel and dry. Now smush bits of other things or put on a drop of liquids or put a drop of water and then add salts. The bean juice should change color depending on pH. Acids - red Bases - purple Neutral - green
I have to say, I've watched your videos now for a while and you all have a great life and close family. Seems everyone knows their chores and corroborates in making the farm work. Nothing wrong with daily work for your needs. Sad more people don't understand that. I am interested on the greenhouse plants coming...
Yummy meal. I am going to try the Mac mixture sauce.
I so enjoy the animals reactions to you and the family. Thanks for your videos and their narration. Great work . GOD BLESS 😇Cheers from NYC🗽😷
i like the way you share your dinner plans with us
Did you say, cutecumbers to those little plants?
Have you thought about getting a steel round rod bend it to fit the roll up sides on the greenhouse and use your cordless drill to roll them up and down?
Every morning my baby wakes up like clock work to eat and I put on your video! 🖤 he loves the sounds of the homestead 🥰🐓
"I like it" by the looks of things you have a huge amount of vegetables and an abundance left over.
I've heard when peppers are that small and already putting on buds you should cut them off to let the plant bush out. I've always had poor pepper production so I'm going to try it this year.
Wondering if you are planning any overhead misting/spraying (new water system) for the greenhouse. Think that would make a great planning and deployment project. Love the project aspect of all your ideas. Also waiting to see the summer build plans. Have any upcoming ideas?
...don’t forget to top off your peppers to get more production! Looks awesome!
Yippee right again lol Love the greenhouse and it's going to produce a ton of food....buy more jars and freezers lolol. Gods blessings.
Nothing more perfect than starting my day at your idyllic haven. Olivia carrying adorable baby Ivy, chickens running around, pigs frolicking. But first on my list is Gina barefoot in her garden. Perfect.
Thank you for letting us tag along with you on your journey.
Hope is such a good girl. I pray her baby is just like her....sweet.
Greenhouse will look like a jungle by July!!!! Hahaha!
Take care and be safe and many blessings on you and your family.
I was alarmed at how crappy their native soil is. There's a night/day difference between the native soil and the compost. Since he's not using a commercial fertilizer, I would've overloaded the planting area with compost.
I sure miss you guys on your days off!!
Will you be raising the sides of your high tunnel daily for pollination, or will you be manually pollinating your veggies? Nice job on building the tunnel, getting it ready to plant, and planting it.
She is adorable!
Amazing how the sweet potatoes perked up!
Grill’n is good for all year long! This cheesehead grills out even when it is below O.
With weather and finances I have to plant a late garden. I bought almost everything I need. Next is egg laying hens and meat birds soon.
Plant potato's on top of the ground and then put straw over them - you will get a higher yield per plant than by burying them, keeps the weeds away and the straw provides a great way to break up hardpan or other types of "hard soil" to work.
Al you should put some 10_10_10 on your garden it's fertilizer and my garden grows so much bigger with it everything is looking so beautiful on the farm and I can't wait to see hopes off springs lol ❤️❤️❤️
I planted my snow peas today and zucchini ... last fall i let a couple watermelon go bad in the garden .... Today when I was watering and planting I counted at least 70 watermelon plants... so that was a surprise but they are spaced too close and I don't really have the space for all of them... I almost have all my starter plants planted.. then i have a few seeds i want to sew like beets and turnips... anyway... gees its June 1st .. thats crazy .. hugs for all of you
God Bless You All.
Gina, I am with you. Barefoot whenever I can. Al, I turned my head when the pigs nearly touched the fence but then I involuntarily giggle when they do touch it. Like watching a train wreak.
Hope's back right leg is now brown mid way down not black - when did you give her copper last most breeders are giving copper bolus every 6 months - colour change on the legs is a sign they need more copper - needed for fertility and so many other things to keep them healthy and most soils don't have enough copper in them for goats and that's worldwide
Hope they see this
Jason at Cog Hill Farm mentioned this happens, along with the fish-tailing of their tails when they are low on copper.
Christa Inglis I would also make sure they have enough selenium
Pol Espinosa nice hahaha😂
