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 Modern Steaders! What has the weather been like where you live?
Cold here in DFW, but nothing like what you have. The snow plowing is fascinating. I have never seen the process, as we have no snow removal equipment in the south. We had some 23 degree nights, but now it is 40-60 range, much like we get in January normally.
Oregon is in a La Nada, which is really bizarre. Very mild, no rain. That means a monsoon year will follow, which is absolutely awful. Next year will be very dark, wet winter.
Vancouver Washington we're frosty and dry at right now but torrential downpours are on the books for Thanksgiving.
Morning Al , in burlington , nc , 40 -50 plus during the days 30's at night , this thursday night 24 . I know this is tshirt temps for you folks :) A staggering amount of RAIN ! It was a dry summer down here. I see the weather patterns changing to fewer days of rain and snow but greater volumes each event. As the oceans and earth temperature increase. It will cause more water to stay in the atmosphere until the right conditions for it to change from vapor to liquid. This is why more folks are going to greenhouse gardening . More controlled growing conditions . Here is a food shocker. Bell peppers from Holland, grass feed beef from Australia on the food lion shelves . Our state , NC has a large and well supported grass feed cattle farmers group. I shared your winter tire brand name with some northern friends. Thanks for all you share and do Al. It is a joy to see what is going to happen next , ha ha .
30 degrees Celsius and sunny yesterday, today thunder storms and rain... gotta love Melbourne 😉
What a lovely present that Olivia received such kind people. Its cold and wet in Lincolnshire England. Just got back from buying all the wheat for my chickens for the winter. Keep up the good work. Stay safe and warm
Mine do get fed properly with mash and pellets and grit, i'm very experienced in chicken keeping thanks Never assume someone is not feeding correctly, you could have just asked 'What else do you give your chicken'.. mine get vitamins apple cider vinegar and mealworms :)
Hello Deanna, nice to see someone else from Lincolnshire that enjoys watching Lumna Acres, are we the only two?............
@@arcpc53 where in Lincolnshire mate
@@deannamoreton8253 Rainy Grantham Deanna, how about you...
@@arcpc53 raining and cold here in Horncastle. Love Lumnah Acres down to earth aren't they
To the wonderful amazing people who got the gift for Olivia you are blessed yeah Olivia your awesome
Lol goats free ranging... They will climb on EVERYTHING eat or taste EVERYTHING( including but not limited to) your house, greenhouse, tractor, garden, flowers, tree bark, trucks, Gina's car...... And leave their bumps everywhere.. Lol lol good luck with that... It only took me two days to realize it was not going to work.. As the yearlings danced across my moms brand new car hood...................
I understand about the chickens getting use to the cold and snow however we found that a little bit of straw or hay help with their feet on the snow. And they love picking in it too.
Great job not only are you protecting your daughter, but you are also taking great care for your wife cleaning off her car for her. I am sure she appreciates it. It looks like Oliva is enjoying her new music stand as well. Keep up the good work.
What a thoughtful gift for Olivia. suppose Mother Nature has her reasons but it’s always a surprise to have snow for Thanksgiving or Easter for that matter. You guys have it covered and are amazing.
I'm impressed, Al. In this thread alone (70 comments so far), I've noticed about three or four people from Australia, a couple from England, one from Scotland and one from Barbados. Lumnah Acres, Worldwide, yo!
One from Perth Australia here... always following Al's adventure(s)

Hello Al from South Louisiana. We (my wife and I) really enjoy your videos and the pride you have for the animals and family. Sitting together with the family for supper, prayer, and good ol fashioned cooking have encouraged us to do the same. We love how you talk to the animals treating them as family members and not just food. Keep up the good work and keep pumping out the videos. Take care...
In middle Maryland we just had several inches of snow. We usually do not get that until after the holidays. That precipitation put us over the edge and set an all time record for annual amount. Laura
Hello Al, if you laid some straw or hey out in front of the New York City so the chickens don't have to stand directly on the snow and ice they would be more likely to come out. Just a thought. You're doing a great job enjoy watching you every morning.
8:19 I worked for the phone company for 30 years. They gave us pole saws to trim trees. Some days you did as much landscaping as phone repair.
But the saws they gave us were really high quality and attached to our fiberglass lay up sticks so you could limb trees from the ground. The stronger you were, the higher you could reach adding 8 ft sections of layup stick end to end.
We live in Phoenix Arizona and today's forecast is 76 degrees. We are expecting a 'cold-snap' beginning Thanksgiving Day. ; 68 degrees, which is to continue for the remainder of the week.
My weather in Michigan on Tues. is
31°f ,sunny. When you move the chickens to the greenhouse, I have heard it's easier to do it at night, when they are settled down.
Have a blessed day.☺
Yea Olivia ! Im still playing my trumpet, at 65! Your musical friend, Kay.
I always shovel paths so my poultry can get grit and get out of the coop for the day. It's snowing here and 30F. Nice Truck, Olivia is getting good at her flute yay!!! GO Olivia!
You are such a hard worker, no matter the weather! What a great dad and hubby you are! You are all blessed!
When I was a young girl back in the early 60s, we always had snow before Thanksgiving....zone 5b... when I was raising my family, no snow sometimes til January...now, back to early snow... just a pattern.. I look for early snow until my grandchildren have kids...lol... but who really knows.. thanks for your videos 💖... hey, I need a pair of loppers like yours! My kids took off with mine 😁
I'm in northern California. It's been in the 40's but it's warmed up and we finally got rain! Very important for clearing out the smokey air.
Morning Al. It never snows here (Barbados) but it is generally mid 80's into 90's now we are dipping into the mid 70's with a high of like 84 so cold for us. Cooler anyway. My main concern is my son who has for the past three years gotten a cold that developed into pneumonia or a chest infection. He takes an asthma inhaler now. Got to keep him warm but otherwise we are adjusting I think. My daughter watched one of your videos and she said Olivia is lucky to have snow to play in. I reminded her it would be biting cold and she would probably stay in bed wearing all her shirts under the comforter lol.
The blade on your truck looks very handy, as you can move the blade multiple directions. You already have a lot of snow buildup. Love how plump and healthy your animals look, as well as how happy they seem. Thank you for sharing with us. God Bless and God Speed from Phoenix.
The work never ends. I only have 4 acres and barely keep up after 17 years of 'taming' it. I can only imagine trying to keep up with you. 'Course, I'm about 20 years your senior....LOL. Much respect.~Eli.
Such wonderful people indeed. Olvia such a sweetheart. Bless her play beautiful music Olivia. God bless you all
We don’t get much snow, maybe once a year if we are lucky, so I enjoy watching you plowing snow in your farm!
Glad to finally see someone who drops there plow when the truck is parked.
most years we have a few days in October where i'm deer hunting in shorts and tee shirts because it was 70f or better. Not this year. It has been cool all fall and now we have 6" or better of snow.
Thanks for sharing!!
What a generous gift.
That was a really sweet gift for Libby from the couple in the U.K. Also, I was surprised to see Buttercup or was it Blossom fall down when Willow pushed her. Because the goats seem so sure footed, I didn't think they would go slat on the ground. I hope the scratches polish out on your new truck but of course, you won't get a chance to find out till next spring. Stay safe and warm.
🥡🥘🥦🎶🎺sorry no flute. Great job Olivia! I'm in Florida so the weather is beautiful in the winter. 74° today. I haven't seen snow in 21 years. It is petty but I don't miss it.
Watching this at 4am. Our Chesapeake started howling when Olivia was playing her flute. Lol. She wanted to sing while she was playing. Lol.
Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your channel and too say how you have inspired me to begin homesteading. I just purchased a small homestead and will be moving in by the first of the year. My parents and siblings all grew up on a farm and I always felt that I had missed out. I am 66 years old and retired military and I can't wait to start my new lifestyle. My plans are to raise chickens, rabbits, pigs, and a small garden. Thanks for the inspiration and keep the videos coming.
Burr! The new tires and snowplow will make your winter easier and safe. Sweet. That orange sauce looks excellent. Gonna have to try it! Olivia is a talented flautist.
Winter definitely has come early. I hope we get a break and the snow melts so we can catch up on some chores.
Praying for you. Hugs. It was good to see you. Rest and heal. ❤️
Meal looked delicious! Olivia great job playing! My sons played the trumpets. That plow on the truck is the BOMB!👏🏻
Love the snow plow, it works great clearing the grass too😋
Olivia, you are doing well on your flute...keep playing for Grandma Carol....love to the Lumnahs
Looks like the next big job is fencing the perimeter of the farm. Love the new music stand. I love snow and it looks so pretty at your place right now.
Western NY south of Buffalo in ski country we have about a foot and a half.. and we have more snow coming..
Eva girl greetings from east of buffalo ....
I live in South Carolina. Originally from Northern New York. The weather has been a bit nippy.
I've seen other homestead videos that a little straw around the chicken door will encourage them too venture out a little further.
I lost my bantam rooster recently to a hawk, so I was thinking, “Oh, no!!! Not Moose!!😩” Glad he’s ok! 😂👍
its supposed to be 67/52 in Fremont today with rain on the way tonight & tomorrow. Last week our lows were at least 10 degrees cooler, which was unusual so early in the season. Im up the coast right now in Coos Bay Oregon an its quite a bit cooler here but hey at least the air quality is better with blue skies and sunshine. Looking around North Bend today. Have a great day! Thats a nice music stand. ❤️👍
Tomorrow is Wednesday, I hate Wednesday. No Lumnah Acres. Great job on flute Olivia, I play tenor sax, and bass guitar. Weather has been mild here in Historic Matewan, although very wet.
Christmas day of 1963, we had greenish grass in Nashua with temps in the high 30s and not much snow yet at the foot of Mt Washington at my grandfather's highway camp. Climate change. every year.
At least you do not have another month of cold mud.
Boise Idaho has 27 in the early morn to 40s in the afternoon. Same latitude as Littleton but 2000 feet higher. Poured concrete last week and it will not finish curing. The moisture evaporating out of the ground has cooled the ground substantially. Holding off on switching to studless snow tires.
weather has me soooo screwed up
I'm behind.........plus the snow....I t has me between a funk....
Michigan here.........
Your not the only michigander in that boat bud. Me too
Awesome gift Miss Olivia. I remember when I was gifted my 1st music stand when I first started playing my flute. Enjoy ❤️🎶🎵
It’s cold and rainy here in RI! It would be so fun to visit you and take a tour! What a sweet gift for your daughter!!! Keep practicing Olivia!! You’re doing good! You seem like a good cook!
I grew up in Colorado and when it snowed it snowed. Not once did they ever have no school! I have often wondered why other places close school because of it snowing. I can understand big cities, but you seem to be a fairly rural area! Blessings!
With all that snow you should put the feed and water on a sled or toboggan and haul it that way
Weather report aside - Olivia playing the flute is too lovely. Thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving.
Olivia is doing great with the flute. I tried to learn it when I was in grade school but didn't do very well.
Olivia, thank you sweetheart for sharing your music with us!
I’m a New Englander I come from New Hampshire and pretty much have seen it all. Our weather on a winter day is normally 41° and on a very cold winter day is -1. and we get around regularly 2 inches per day at least. I also have a Homestead and a couple tractors. By the way nice goat pen I like the way you set it up. 👍👍
What a nice gift. That will come in handy.
Free range goats? LOL! Mine will wonder off as soon as I get comfortable and I think they'll stay...Then Away they go! Always keep a grain bucket close by to get their attention.
I live in Dallas. I wish there were snow here!
You just might get some snow the way this year is going. Lol
That is a nice music stand and will make practicing a lot more comfortable and enjoyable.
I live in northern British Columbia Canada it is minus 3 celcius feels like minus 8. Winds are from North 14 kils and wind gust 21. Love watching all your family videos.
good day to you Al, Gina & Olivia !! thanks for sharing another awesome update and adventures on & off the homestead !! 👨🌾🎥👍✝
Here in southwestern Idaho it’s cold but it isn’t snowing yet. It’s usually about 25-30 degrees at 4:30 when I leave for work, and warms up to about 50.
Good job Olivia! Been cold in Wisconsin, with a little snow today in the 20's felt like 14 teen today 20 Nov 18
That blow really seems to be doing the job. That much snow would shut down everything around where I live in Oklahoma.
Good Morning!!!! My chickens do the same thing. I was told to put some hay or straw down, just spread it out before I opened the door to let them out, and it worked!!!! They seem to like picking through it to get the feed I threw on it. I guess their little chicken feet get cold.....lol....made myself laugh. GOD BLESS you all. Thank you again for sharing your video.
thanks for taking the time to setup all the different camera angles. It makes for a more enjoyable viewing experience.
Just comparing where you were in 2018 with 2020, you have all worked really hard
Good morning Al. You look like you are really enjoying your truck! 7:39 am on Tuesday. I am off work this week. After losing the sight in my right eye, I can now clearly see those beautiful, fluffy **snow flakes**. So it's all in the EYE of the beholder. Plus - I don't have to go outside today :-) :-). Posted my Kubota tractor newspaper photo on the back door...so Santa won't miss it this year. I'll never forget a goat farmer in the Raymond area who posted an ad in the local town paper. LOST- HERD OF GOATS- LAST SEEN GRAZING THE TOWN POWER LINES- PLEASE CALL ###-####.
Al, don't worry the shorter you are the easier the fall!! Love Love Love waking up in the AM to your beautiful videos and your precious family.... Your neighbor from Vermont....
Getting to be the plow is the most fun I've had on YT. Thank you for that.
I'm in the N.E as well Al... Around Nov 15ish seems to be the hard freeze time where anything can happen. It is possible to see winters getting progressively worse , as well as all weather events being extreme...There is a good reason...and it's NOT global warming nonsense ...if you look to the Sun you can find the answers. History holds the key to the future. Personally I'm planning for rough winters for the rest of my life time.....growing winter food will become more important moving forward.. Happy stedding !!!
Your place is so peaceful, especially after a new snow 💕. Olivia, you play the flute beautifully!! That stand will be really helpful I am sure! Have a great day all!
Jacksonville FL here, it's about 65° out right now at 9:30a.m. with the high today being 70° around 1-2p.m. 😎😎
I'm short too and always looking for something to stand upon. You could drive your truck to where the branches are and stand in the bed to reach the very high branches. ❤🌅🌵
Dang, the leaves haven’t even fell off the trees down here I n Louisiana!! Lol but it’s been cold like 20 and 30 nothing like y’alls wether up there. Oh and btw you need to put salt on the roads it helps melt faster.
I'm glad that moose didn't go to chicken heaven I like him. The orange glazed sure looks good I like that stuff myself.
Here in Delaware...40-50 and no snow. This is a EL NINO year and I hear the northeast is going to get the BIG ONES. Yes plural...many big snow falls. I guess we will see it that comes true.
Hey Al...just want to take this time to wish you and your family a BLESSED THANKSGIVING !!!!!
Thanks. We hope you have a blessed thanksgiving too!
Supposed to be 30 here in central Alabama. It snowed the other day a little. You might think about a eagle carport. I got one for 1000 not including the concrete. They came and put it up in 1 day. Great channel God bless
Mmmmmm the food sound delicious. I’m really enjoying the addition of Olivia’s music practice. Great video
Good morning Luminah Acres.. here the tip of the Mitt its 16 degrees snowing and won't stop until April. Lol just my prediction. How very cool the gift Olivia recieved. I tellya it's difficult to keep up with those trees and brush.. hardy buggers. Oh yum your meal looked perfect. Thanks I am definitely going to have to try it. Stay warm.
Eastern central California near Yosemite National Park. 40's and 4 days of rain in the forecast!
Everytime you prepare a meal I then have to find something to cook for supper. Great videos!!
You need to invest in one of those limb trimmer chain saws. Some of them fit on a weed eater power head. Very useful around the farm.
That plow was a great investment. I enjoy see how you operate that machine. Those goats are so cute.
Good playing my favorite instrument Olivia. That was a nice gift right Play us some Christmas music. Thank you Al for the day
The snow is such a pain...but it's so beautiful lol. The chickens definitely don't care for it...sorry chickens. Like how you add the music to videos in the background at reasonable levels. Many times watching other channels/videos when their music plays it about blasts you outta your chair...not much fun...anyway like how you do it. Impressive with the flute Olivia, that stand sure was a nice gift. Looks like you have quite a few fans out there as well. Similar temps to you guys here outside Chicago, but only a dusting of snow. Really cool seeing so many subscribers from all over the world. Good job Lumnahs!
If you can't move New Yolk City can you move the tall tractor that had the turkeys in it over to give them a snow free area.
Maybe you can train your goats/free ranging chickens with different sounds (whisles) every time you feed them. So when they're free ranging you can call them back home...
I remember trick or treating in the snow as a kid in Wisconsin
its the cold dip in the jet stream that will eventually be the polar vortex with blasts of negative temps next time around.
Al, I'm really enjoying your channel. You make homesteading look achievable for anyone and I applaud your video style. I was watching some of your older videos last night. Your content is fantastic and easy to understand. Keep it coming.
Very nice gift from the UK Miss Olivia. Looking forward to hearing more? 👍🏻😊
Washington DC., we are holding at 50 Degrees. You guys should get the rare snow Bee's so you can have honey in the winter. We did get a bit of snow and wet rain a few days ago but it melted away the next day.
The central Adirondacks had 20" of snow fall last week and looking ahead to WEDNESDAY: snow squalls, accumulating 2-4 inches with Highs in the 20s Lows zero to minus 5. THANKSGIVING: Windy and cold; partly sunny. Highs only 8 -13. Some of the lakes have frozen over all ready. Crazy.
I'm surprised to see they don't spill that bucket of water. You might consider putting some straw down if NYC is going to remain there one of the main areas of heat loss for chickens is their feet.
I didn't think moose really lost his life, I thought he got out the fence and probably chasing andy. Olivia, u r getting pretty good and that was sure a nice gift. made me laugh when gina and u say take that off the Christmas list. come spring u will have enough brush for a fire from what u r whacking off those trees or a winter bon fire if u collect them now which might also be nice on a nice winter evening for the family.
we are in the mountains in Northeast PA., right on the NY State border. No fall here, a lot of snow and Thursday is going to be wicked. They are calling for 14 degree's is the high and the low is -1 degree. :)
That's pretty much the same weather they are calling for us to have on Thanksgiving too. Stay warm and have a blessed thanksgiving
You rock Olivia! The weather is cokd here in Oklahima 28 this morning.
wooly worms were almost completely black here too so it means a hard cold winter
I was going to say “Noooo! Not Wranglerstar click bait” that’s why I stop watching a lot of his content. You have created such an amazing channel that is so informative and amazing. Thank you so much for the time you take in sharing so much. Shout out from Vancouver Island, Canada.
What a lovely and practical present for Olivia...No snow in our tropical region but chilly nights are always in Nov and Dec sometimes stretching into Jan...Have a great farm day Lumnahs!🙄🌿👍✌🏼
Excellent flouting Livi!😊
Actually i thought that too at first... I said to myself r.i.p. Moose. Than i kept hearing him cockadoodledooing the whole video and i guessed he'd be alright. So thumbs up Lumnah's! 👍😁
