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!

Well there's no flies on you! If life gives you lemons, make lemonade, if it gives you black flies, make chicken feed! Yes, I think we can trust you to give honest reviews so if the gear and companies are helping you grow and especially if they share your vision, I'd love to see the free stuff and reviews. Am looking forward to seeing the new incubators :)
Lol! Mine as well make something well out of what you get! Thank you glad to know that! It is great meeting like minded Modern Steaders!
You are in a perfect situation for testing stuff. Don't commit to anything until you've passed it through the US test. I'm 65, we didn't have the resources to do this. I love your situation, keep doin' what you do... and Go For It !!!
Thanks! What is the us test?

Laughter is the best medicine! Lol!
Great video. I'm open to checking out anything that would help. I trust you to be open and honest about the product. Seems to me that you are that kind of person. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you! Yes I will tell what I really think! I don't want my name on something not good! Lol
I would love to see your reviews of different products. You never know when it may be something really good and an honest review is well worth it. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Thanks for the feedback
I'd like to see the free stuff!

YES! We want to see the stuff that you were talking about. I like to support vendors that are on the ssme wavelength and interested in doing the "natural" thing!
Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Thanks for the feed back! We love to support like minded people too! I think thats how we can really grow this movement too!
I think he was trying to say, " pasture raised chicken," but it sounds like he said pasteurized chicken.... and he says pig pasture.... I'm from Mississippi. Raised animals and crops all my life.... and have never heard of pastured pigs let alone chickens! LMAO. THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO. Enjoyed his enthusiasm 100%
Cant wait to see what you are getting!
Thank you!
I definitely want to see you review and post the vlog on any & all products. I have come to know and trust your homesteading wisdom and can't wait to see what is forthcoming! I saw the earlier comment from 'Thunder Ridge Homestead' about the maggot bucket breeder for feeding the chickens, I would like to see you do a vlog on that. I'm not talking about the soldier fly larvae, I think that is more for down south or southwest US. Thanks and God Bless.
I love honest reviews of products.
It will be interesting to see if one trap is better. As for reviews of free product, as long as you give honest reviews, go for it.
It will be interesting to find out! Yes only honest reviews I dont want my name on anything that I would use!
I see the potato tower/potato bales behind you, its doing great! Look forward to your product reviews.
Gear reviews are always good. Finding out which incubators work would be good too since chickens are first on our list when we get to our homestead.
Awesome! Stay tuned! Should be out Wednesday! Yes dont make the mistake on incubators we did
i'd like to see the free stuff!
Thanks!
Thanks for the video AL and cool traps btw
Thanks! You squash hall was nice!
Thanks I was pretty surprised by it myself.
Sweet! Yes, I'd definitely like to see some reviews of the goodies your going to be getting! Congratulations on scoring free stuff, I, for one, am happy for you. and thanks for not letting us fall into the pig poop! Rock on Lumnah Acres!
Thanks! Yes falling in the pig poo would not be good! Lol
Bring it on Al. I would love to see your reviews. Keep it comin.
Thanks! We will! :)

Yes to the reviews.
Thanks!
Go for it. I love honest reviews
Awesome! Thanks!
We wanna see all the stuff Al! :))
Its out today! :)
Lol I just did something like this last week and it works great. I used eggs and water as the solution. Depending on the number of flys around you can get full really fast.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing! I will keep your solution in mind! We have plenty of flies! Lol
You are so funny! Glad I found this information!😆
That's a good idea think I'll make a few of those. I'd like to see you do some reviews on different products may turn out that I could use them too.👍
You should! Good to know that you like the review idea! Thanks
Let's See It! Woo! Hoo!
Woot-Woot
Yes please show what he sends, ifs it really good stuff, we'd like links to order some for ourselves!!
Awesome! And I am supposed to be getting discount codes for the Modern Steaders!
Oh I can't wait to see what you will get , I'm sure you will give us fair and honest feedback which is great
We sure will! Thanks!
Yes please show your reviews of products
Awesome! We will! Then we will use them day to day and work them good!
You can put water and honey to catch the flies among other things...flies are always in the toilet bowl I'm sure you have noticed...they are looking for a warm place to lay their eggs...it's fun to see you recycling the flies for your pigs and chickens!
It will be nice to see what they sent you
I am interested to see too! I don't know everything he sent! Lol
karen catalano will tryand find the video that you made. I like learning.
We love watching your channel. It is very informative. We use plastic bottles with the top flipped insede out.
your energy level has been terrific on your videos and I'm interested in seeing the stuff that you were reviewing your flytrap look great can't wait to see the results and yes it's all about help in the food I eat also. Seeing all this neat stuff will be like the 5th day of Hanukkah
Thank you! Lol, It feels like Christmas to me!
Yes, I want to see reviews of the products you receive.
Awesome! Glad to hear that!
Interesting solutions!
Love then trap design I'll have to use around my hogs here on the farm in PA
watching this in apr 2023,love ur story...👍
i love free stuff! I got a mountain of free wood chips, we couldn't use them all so gave the rest to our neighbor. Good neighbors are worth nurturing right? Did you get a new camera? Have a great week sir. Loving life and living large, it's possible even in a tiny urban setting. I love your can do attitude. 👍🏻
Those watching your channel have confidence in your opinion. If you have a product to review, let's see it. Thank you for your channel
Thank you! I really enjoy getting your feedback!
You deserve all the love and support .. Making reviews on products is beneficial, but don't make put under stress.
Thank you! No we dont want the stress either! Thanks for you concern :)
I'd like to see the product reviews- seems like you'd have fun with that.
Thanks! We are always trying to have fun! :)
very curious to see how the traps work and my sink has dirty dishes too!
yes, want to see what they send you!
Lol, We all have dirty dishes! :)
Lumnah Acres never ending 😊
Would LOVE to see your product reviews!!
Perfect! Thanks!
Great recycling!
might try making a fly trap. using the $5 fly bags from Lowe's right now.
Thanks! Next time I go by there I will stop and see if I can find one
I think I would like to try making my own fly traps, too. The Lowe's ones work great, but those $5 add up. We change them out as soon as they get stinky. We hang them right outside the kitchen door, so we notice when they start getting ripe. The flies love them----they are fighting to get in! I'd rather use a natural attractant. Will be watching your success with the homemade traps.
Good to know! Thanks! We will keep you posted!
yeah i was thinking of getting the flytraps bag for my garage/barn but would really like to catch them for the chickens. I have use the 2 liter bottle cut top off turn upside down put top inside bottle tap it and add vinegar. it works very well but you still throw away
Let's do the reviews! Yes we do know Al, lol. We are all a bit crazy about something. Simple is mine, you know that.
Thanks! I just wanted to make sure! Lol
Would love to see what you get and if it is something you can use for homesteading. tyfs Pat
Thank you! We will share it!
yes i would like to see the reviews.....Also, in your friday updates u never talked about your fruit trees....I see tons of apples...When are u harvesting them?
They wont be ready till sept oct
Love the positive from a negative!
Thanks! I hate being negative! There is always a rainbow some where
Have you ever tried the maggot buckets that Justin Rhodes did? He basically hung a 5 gallon bucket with holes in it in the chicken pen and added some meat to attract flies. I am sure even some of the pig poo would also work. As the fly larva hatch the maggots fall out of the bucket and into the chicken pen to be gobbled up. That would also be a source for free protein.
Have you tried it? No I haven't! But I should, I bet it works great!
yes just posted about that and yes it was from Justin that i first saw it on his free chicken feed video. Chickens love it and works very well. What happens is the maggots get big and juicey and start looking to move on and crawl out the holes and the chickens get them first. I was really worried the buckets were going to get all gross and look nasty but the chickens keep it clean. I even hung them on the back sides of the trees so i didn't have to look at them just incase
great video, I use diluted apple cider vinegar(or over processed kombucha) in a cup on the counter with a couple of drops of dish soap to catch fruit flies 😊 (not to feed chickens though, just to get rid of the fruit flies) Just wanted to share 😄
Love reviews
Great! Thanks for the feed back!
I like to see reviews of products.
Thanks for letting me know much appreciated! :)
sure it all a win
Awesome!
Super!!
SWEET!
I'd enjoy seeing the "free stuff" you're getting in the mail! I understand how the milk jug fly trap works but won't the pig poo version be really messy to give to the chicks? I guess I'll see the results in a few days... LOL!
Thanks! I don't think so! I don't think the chickens will mind it!
Great idea! Thanks. We have lots of mesquites do you have any suggestions on getting rid of them. I try to make sure there's no standing water. Blessings...
You can make a trap with a soda bottle and catch them!
"flies bug them" @ 10:37, funny
Hi.... AL, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👨👩👧👸👕👓🐩🐔🐓🐥🐕🐖🐈🐐🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
I'm interested in seeing the products! :D
Awesome! And we will be getting a discount code for the Modern Steaders!
I'm all for it
Good to know! Thanks!
i'd like to see you do the review
Thank you for you feedback!
I hope the fly trap works well. Please show the reviews.
Thank you! We hope it works too! We will show the reviews! Thanks for the feed back!
Lucas Mills and Yanmar tractors need to sponsor your channel. Think sheep..Gregg Judy genetics. Any duck pond plans?
That would be great! But I am thankful for what we have coming! We have many plans, just need to take baby steps! We don't want to break our budget
I would be interested in seeing their products and the fly traps are a stroke of genius Al. Have you seen the bucket of water, rope through a pipe, peanut buttered mouse trap? lol.......great for around feeds were mice infest and you can feed the drowned mice to the chickens and pigs.
Thanks! Yes I have seen those mice traps If when we get mice I will try them! I bet the pigs will love them!
if you have animals you have rodents they just may not be a problems just yet. James I will definitely look that one up. I was looking into getting barn cats but it still one more mouth to feed even though they will eat mice.
yes to reviews! So the chickens will be eating the maggots?
Woot-woot! I hope so!
we just grow worms for our chickens. I hate flys too much but great idea
I bet your chickens love you and the worms! Yes flies are a PAIN!
Yes, review the products....
Thanks for letting me know!
Bring on the reviews.
Thank you! We will! :)
yes lets see what your getting...
Awesome! Just found out we are getting a 10% off discount for the Modern Steaders!
I wanna see the free stuff!!!
Sweet! Thanks
free is free !! and free is good !! great fly traps, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences and as always happy gardening and homesteading !! if people want to give you stuff for free we'll take it, anyone would !! but if the cost is your free will, so no !! let me simply say don't get to the stage were you got the company telling you what to say and not a good honest review !!
Thank you! No money is worth not being able to tell the truth about a product! We will give honest reviews!
I would like to see the free stuff hi to Gena and olivia
Thanks! Gina and Olivia say HI!
Let's see how the reviews go!
Did you ever get to drinking the kombucha? We just finished drinking our first batch.
Thanks! We are getting ready to flavor ours here soon! How was your first batch?
Lumnah Acres, it was great. The kids preferred it over the store bought stuff and they have been asking for it at every meal.
Thanks for sharing your channel with us, we love it.
Yes, yes and yes! Lol
Thanks!
I would love to see free stuff
Awesome!
will Pluto be having any puppies?
no :(
I wanna see!
Stay Tuned! :)
I love my chicken buckets! if something dies or butcher we put it in the bucket. it has holes in it and the maggots crawl out and the chickens get a treat. Not much smell unless you put your head inside, gross. hahaha. Chickens love it and we love happy chicken
I'm late in watching this. How did the 2 traps work? Sorry kinda playing catch up & jumping around.
We are still waiting on results! Thanks for playing catch up! :)
Do u cut ur grass more often having chickens on it or just let it grow taller ? I've wondered ever scenes the episode u cut it
A little of both and the chickens do a great job eating it too!
Thanks and keep up the good work I hope to have a home stead one day
Any chance the flies could pass some sort of disease or sickness onto the chickens?
They eat flies in their natural diet.
Would love to see reviews
👍 👍
Do reviews, that would benefit everyone.
So I’m not seeing a video where you updated on these flie traps. Flies are the BANE of my small farm life! I’d love to find a cheap effective solution! Nothing I have tried to date works!
How about rubber bands to seal the top ??
Could not fine the update on the DIY Fly trap. Can you send me the link please?
What's the purpose of the lid and the other piece of plastic above the lid?
I don't know why they swallowed the flies.........................
Who knows
