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!

Our Favorite Bread Pan amzn.to/2G6w81D
Al, I'm concerned about the aluminum content in the pans. I know there is a link between aluminum and alzheimer's ... am I reading that wrong? Is that what "aluminized steel" means? (help)
I need a couple of those racks
Thank you for sharing this.

My Pastor once told me about my struggle with patience " Patience is not the act of waiting-it is how you act while you wait".
I like that.
Jim Purl, sounds right! Hard to do, but right!
"Oh Lord please give me patience!...And I need it RIGHT NOW!!"
I like that too!
I've always thought patience was time used to get other things accomplished.
The memories your daughter is going to have of her time growing up will last her FOREVER! Dad pulling her on the sled through the snow, gathering eggs and her helping to bake.....PRICELESS!
Enjoy it now while she is still a pre-teen, pretty soon you'll get the eye roll and the "Oh Daaad!" when you suggest doing something.
Goooood Morning Al ,
Ah , a poor day today . My best friend , Sweet Pea , died last evening . She was thirteen which is kind of old for a large dog . She always liked riding with me in the truck . Sweet Pea always did something odd when we went to a store . She sat on the passenger seat but when I came back out of the store she would be curled up in the driver's seat . Even though she had more room in the passenger seat . Nice in the winter time as she would keep my seat warm for me. Gosh , I am going to miss her .
Donald Miller sorry for your loss!
Donald ... sorry for your loss. You will get mileage out of your memories and stories about Sweet Pea. For our family it was a cat named Susie and we rate every subsequent cat on the Susie Scale. l hope another dog will eventually be lucky enough to join your family. :)
@Sissy Dewoody ,
Thank you for your kind words. I have several good dogs . Sweet Pea was the best dog , no , the best friend I have ever had . I miss her .
For a great memory , there was the time that she ran off. She returned a couple of hours later , herding two deer to our back yard. Not chasing them . Herding them ! She was so proud of herself. And then she was expecting me to put the deer into a pen.
She went off like that another time and this time she brought back three does . So , I did some research and found out that Rottweilers originated in Italy. They were originally used as herding dogs by the Roman armies .
Donald Miller, my heart hurts for you.
@Ann E Schnoor ,
Thank You . I will get used to Sweet Pea's absence as time goes on .
You both have so much quality time teaching and playing with Olivia. Terrific parenting. She is loved and has her supportive entire family by her for support. I respect your choices and enjoy your attitude which remains cheerful through adversity. You provide a blueprint for a great American family with values I respect. Thank you
My grandson loves watching you guys. He’s 15 months old😊
I hate ice. You are so great at sharing your heartfelt cheer. I adore how well you live, how well you share and your generosity and love. You are a great teacher.thanks for letting me feel like a friend.
I like seeing y’all cook together. I grew up with parents working 60+ hours a week and eating fast food. Keep the vlogs coming! I enjoy them.
What you pointed to is a Bush Bean stringless (not spreading)...the opposite would be a stringless Pole Bean (grows up a pole or structure). The "string" is off the side of each bean when you clean/chop them you can remove it, but when eaten it is tough. To avoid that "string" select stringless beans. Order depending on how you want to grow them, not spreading bush type, or pole type growing upwards on a pole or some sort of a structure (trellis)...both types can be stringless or with strings...so watch for that. Usually it's specified on the description, but sometimes the suppliers don't mention it, then it could be either or. With Peas it's the same situation...hope this helps.
It helped me! 😁
The Landreth beans are a very tasty stringless green bean. With good soil, and no spider mites (my nemesis) they can be great producers. Good choice Gina.
To answer your question Al about the egg...I attended the Mid-America Organic Association conference here in Kansas City on Friday where I met up with Off Grid with Doug & Stacy and Terry Durham (River Hills Harvest). I attended the Poultry 101 symposium with Stacy and in the symposium the speaker discussed how eggs were made. It was pretty interesting. So a chickens body temperature is 106° F and after the hen lays the egg they can range from 60-80°F. When the eggs cool that is when the little air pocket on the bottom, inside of the egg forms. Hope this helps. Stay warm!
Morning Lumnah family...Everything looks good on the homestead so is Tanner...And its great seeing the interaction of the family baking sessions where Olivia is always a good helper..Nice seed catalogue!🐕🐐👌👍
"Snickerdoodle" was originally a German confection and the name is an Americanization of the German word Schneckennudel.
That translates to snail noodle....😀 I do not remember those I will ask my mum.
Goood mawnin’ from southeast Louisiana. 65 degrees yesterday, temps plunging to mid 20’s tonight. Our coldest yet this winter. Northern La. getting snow! Time to plug in the electric trough heater for the horses, stock up on hay and feed, harvest the rest of the garden. At least the mud will freeze! Always something to be thankful for. 😆
Al, heads-ups a weather anomaly is occurring bringing Arctic temperatures, and wind chill you've not experienced in your life. Expect dangerous cold conditions to exist later this week. Very cold times mean taking a blanket along when driving with some quick and easy energy food/water, and maybe some weather appropriate footwear, gloves, parka, and bibs too for every member of your traveling party for safeties sake. Many will find comfort afforded by wearing a painters type paper dust mask preventing Arctic air from being breathed. Some form of goggles is recommended when temperatures or wind chill exceed -30°F in case you blink or squeeze eyes shut against blowing snow and your eyelids freeze together; no joke. And may God bless...
Heads up. That is a good nugget!
Enjoy every minute with Olivia! I’m a newly empty nester and I love watching you teach her the little life lessons! You are blessed! Keep warm!
I enjoyed hearing you discuss the seeds for your garden. It is so nice to see another family interacting together peacefully. Daddy in the kitchen! I love it.
Y'all are a sweet family, thank you for sharing a part of your lives with us
Greetings from Sweden! It’s so nice to watch your daily chores, the animals the cooking, the weather. We have snow here, but in the south of Sweden we do not get as low temperatures as you do. Can honestly say I’m happy we don’t! Keep working and you will get a swedish family inspired 😀
I love the look on your daughter’s face when you tell her she’s going to get to crack the eggs 😂. That was always my kids favorite ‘job’!
We totally get the patience struggle! My husband Tom and I were out in the snow and below zero temps the other day , drawing in the snow where we were going to plant what! The dreams are what bring us joy 💕 Have a great day!
Another good morning coffee time with Al and family..
Good morning. In the summer time, when it is the highest of heat. I never wish for the 3feet of snow. I love the heat. The warmer it is the happier my body is. Fybromyalgia sucks in the cold.
Toni Jean Agbodike gotta keep those joints warm...especially the neck.
I love that you thank your chickens for the eggs.
Olivia is having a childhood more reminiscent of mine in the 50’s than most children today. She needs a horse though!
In keeping with a NE heritage breed how about a Morgan? They can be trained for both light draft harness and saddle riding.
A horse could move those larger and heavier hoop top style chicken tractors slow enough not to run over any chickens also.
If they can find an old horse drawn mower and hay rake. It would be a green solution for working in the soggier areas of the reclaimed four acre pasture where the Kubota might get stuck.
@@ralphmills7322 who will feed & look after the damn horse ? :)
@@davelawson2564 Olivia!
good day to you Al, Gina & Olivia !! thanks for sharing another awesome update and adventures on & off the homestead !! 👨🌾🎥👍✝
I'm in the process of ordering my seeds also from Baker Creek. It's so much fun looking through the catalog. I think their catalog has the most beautiful pictures of vegetables! It certainly can chase the winter blues away when looking at them. Have a great day and thanks for sharing your life and family. God Bless.
Love ur channel! I watch it almost every morning to get my daily ‘farm fix’ while living in the city! Please post the recipes of the cookies & bread u made in today’s video (1-29), oh and recipes for the egg bake dishes you’ve shown. They look delicious. God bless u and yours! Boadie
Love your positive attitude, Al. What a happy farm you're building! God bless❤️
We finally got 7 inches of snow!!! Everything shut down, and we didn’t get mail either! We are getting soft! Love all the snow you have but if it’s going to be like that every year maybe start planing for it with that garage.... hello Gina and Olivia! I’m about to get my seeds as well! God bless you all. ❤️✝️
I love the fact that your daughter is learning from your EXPERIENCE and KNOWLEDGE that says something about her. : ) peace
I visited a farm last Wednesday and was given 18 brown fresh eggs. The shells were as hard as rocks and the yokes were really yellow. Nice to have quality. Merry Christmas to all.
Thanks for motivation.
There’s was a 3rd egg 🥚! It was a blue one half hidden in the shavings. I’ve got some chickens that were hatched in September that are starting to lay. Currently, with my flock of 26 I’m getting 8-10 eggs a day. We are so thankful!
Will you be getting any of the -50 weather Chicago is getting? Your videos are the first ones I watch daily because they are happy, gorgeous and your climate is so vastly different than mine.
I think u guys did an awesome job on ur blueberry bread and ur snicker doodles cookies I give it a thumbs up 👍u guys are one awesome family working like a team I hope u guys stay warm big hugs take care god bless. 👨👩👧🐕🐩🐈🐐🐐🐐🐓🐔
Team work is what makes the dream work. I can almost smell that blueberry bread from here.
Great Morning to Lumnah Acres Family from Faye & Fuzz Keller Ranch in little old Emmett, Idaho. Stay warm and safe hear you have a serious cold front heading your way!
Olivia is such a smart little girl, you guys are excellent parents raising her in a self sustainable life style, she is so eager to learn. Your channel is one of my favorites, thanks for the efforts you put into making such awesome videos. Blessings
I love my Clyde’s Planning Calendar! I have my original that is no telling how old (&dirty). When he updated with the companion plantings I bought several for gifts (and one for myself).
According to wikipedia a Snickerdoodle is of German origin or perhaps got its start in New England.The name is a corruption of the German word Schneckennudein which means snail dumpling. I guess it describes the snail like shape. There is also a series of tall tales about a hero named Snickerdoodle from the early 1900s which may be related to the name of the cookie. But who knows hey?
Agnes Takacs Thx for looking into it - so I don’t have to go do it! 😂👍
Yes. My german grandmother use to make them. A childhood memory ;)
Actually, a string of dough would have to be rolled around on a flat surface to look like a snail shell...the meaning is more likely to "schnick" some sugar onto the baked cookie and "schnick" means toss, i.e, sugar onto the finished cookie.
My mom was German and she made them and called them schnickies.
Both my parents were from Germany and my first language is German. I do not remember any cookies by this name I will ask my mum,maybe we called them something else.
Thank you for sharing! I love how you and your family cook together! Stay warm! Only 50 more days until spring!🌺🌷🌽🥕🌞
Wow, that snow looks beautiful, but I know its cold, stay warm family we love ya. The baking look yummy, I love blueberries.
The egg should be roughly the same as a chickens core temperature of 105-107°F when laid but incubate at ideal 99.5 F.
The seed catalog makes me remember of some 50 years ago ordering seeds from the Burpee catalog. I think you could order started plants as well. Even back then you got a lot of stuff for the farm in the mail: vegetables, chickens etc.
It won't be long you'll be making soil blocks in the basement planting seeds. Bakers Creek is a great place to buy seeds. I love their color catalog.
Al, Snow good! We have freezing rain and sleet. Currently 4.1c so we have rain and a very grey day. Regards Stephen.
I think it beautiful the snow I know you must think it's much to much. But just think without the snow your land would be so dry.💞 Your food always looks so amazing 😍. Your daughter she's beautiful ❤️ and you have a wonderful family. Looks like the puppy Tanner is coming around just beautifully. God bless you guys.
Ooh snowing again 🥶 I love the look of your blueberry bread. Hard work for you all, but it seems worth it. 😊
Thanks for sharing the snow it was very beautiful to see
I love seeing Olivia learn about cooking.
Oh my goodness!! 0° there!! Bless you out there!! Lol. I've been living in florida and love that we stay in the 40's and 50°s lowest here. 30's if it's real cold for the night. I love that you have fresh goats milk! Try and stay warm
So glad to hear you are in touch with Weed em and Reap. It seems that they are really experienced with goats. Such a nice channel too.
Loved to see the loaves , it’s great watching you guys , well the landscape looks so beautiful with all that snow. Enjoy the season !!! Good night
It is great to see your wife smile. I love that you are using the Bakers Creek seed catalog ,fantastic company.
It’s so much fun watching you guys picking your seeds for spring. Ahhhhh means autumn is coming our way 😊. We are pretending to be excited. 🤣🤣. Can’t wait for your spring vids.
Are you in Australia?
Yep we are the first suburb out of Sydney Australia on the south coast. We don’t get snow so it’s so amazing to watch you guys. We also had the coldest winter in we can’t remember. Our summer so far has been weird. I’ve had to hide in the kitchen with my back to the windows so I don’t see the the thunderstorms ⛈ . The storms have been like I was a kid back in the day eg. Jump in the pool after school with your uniform on and for me then hide blocking eyes and ears from the thunder and lightning. These storms are taking me back to my childhood but I’m a big person hiding whilst 14 yr old is loving it. Thankfully our dogs don’t get stressed like me 😊
Lumnah Acres ohh and I need to know your utensils list. I want to start making real food from our veggie patches and you guys rock at cooking awesome food 🥘 xx Thanks for the link on the “Pringle” maker. 😀
I laughed so hard watching Pluto try to go through the snow when you two were going to get the eggs.
We are going to sit down with our seed catalogs during the arctic blast and make our own hard decisions while we dream about spring! We're glad to see the infrared laser thermometer is working out!
Lumnah Family, you are my 1st video I watch every morning, which is important - sets the tone for my day.👍 Thank you for all these videos!!!! 😊
I've watched you guys on/off and just subscribed for sure yesterday...I am not a homesteader but Love to learn and hopefully soon I will learn to at least grow my own small garden. Really you videos are wonderful...what breed of dog is your big dog? she has ALOT of energy! Have a Great Week!!
despite how cold it is in your area, your vids feel so warm ☺️
Pluto would make a good sled dog. -30 degrees outdoors, but warm inside with fresh baked blueberry bread. Awesome!
Keep up the great work. Keep making videos. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Even thus my parents were difficult parents, I cherrish my growing up on a small home stead in Germany. Growing your own food was devine. The taste youcant achieve any more now a days.
Hey Al! We live in western Maine and can completely relate to your weather situation! Our herd of dairy goats, rabbits and chickens have had enough of this wet white stuff. I think a road trip to visit you guys might be a plan this summer, we’re about 4 hours east of you guys. We enjoy your videos, they’re witty and educational, keep up the momentum. Like you said, it can take years but if you give up you’ll never get there.
You have a amazing family, I can feel the love you all share together! And l love your animals and how much Love you show them also!
Hi All, my dad always grew "scarlet runner" pole beans. They were good fresh, canned with the pressure canner, (mom used a bean frencher to cut then on a long diagonal angle) or left to grow on the vine to harvest and dry the inside bean for either cooking or for planting for growing more in the coming planting seaon.
Your Snow is crazy!!! What makes it seem even crazier to me is that it’s over 32c here in New Zealand and we are in the middle of a heat wave! Stay warm and healthy x x x x
I just LOVE to hear the "Moose call" in the morning!
Love your family teamwork. It's refreshing and encouraging. You've blessed my day. Tks for sharing😊❤👍
Y'all are an amazing family. It's great to see everyone involved with everything. We do the same. We plan our garden ahead of time. We usually order from a catalog or go to the flea market or the local co-op and get seeds. Hopefully I can get our little garden tractor going where can cut the garden up soon.
Burpless cucumbers - thank you! I love cucumbers but they made me burp, so I stopped eating them. One year, however, we grew some short, piggety ones, and they did not make me burp. I thought it was a coincidence, but as you said a burpless cucumber,, I want to thank you. This spring I will be growing it again! Thanks also for you lovely programs!
Thanks Gina and Olivia for cooking together for us. It looks like fun. I wish my son would cook with me.(he just likes to eat)🙂 I really liked the Pringles video too.
Looks like a great winter work out pulling Olivia in the snow!! ❄️😜❄️
Life on a homestead is so rewarding in so many ways. All that cold weather sure makes it harder, though. Being a southern girl, do not know how you deal with it. I am so thankful we have pretty mild winters. Snickerdoodles gotta help.
God bless you and your family.
We love all the aspects of your videos. My only 14yr old said, Mum, your never going to do this. Well, I say, yes I can. Shhh he doesn’t want to move away to a farm. Thanks for your beautiful videos. Xx
Gina is like me, I love extra cinnamon. Figaro is such a funny cat. Al you and Gina are wonderful parents and you’re daughter is learning so many great things that is a wonderful advancement for her life in the future. Sorry you all have of the snow including ours. Have a great day. PEACE.
I absolutely LOVE Weed'em and Reap. That family is amazing. 💜
Good morning! Another great day on the homestead! Stay warm and enjoy the cookies.
The breads look good. You need to put the recipe on here so we can make it also
That separation method is good for one egg. If you need more than 2 for cakes you can just use your freshly washed hands. Crack the egg and dump it in your hand letting the whites run between your fingers into a container underneath. Then you can just tip the yolk into the mixing bowl. Wash your hands and go from there. My son loved helping me bake and separate the eggs.
Broccoli and cauliflower are both cool season plants down here in Texas. Also Brussels sprouts, cabbage and garlic. I have seen cabbage growing in snow. Enjoy!
I like starting my day with you guys. Makes 38° more tolerable. Had to hang up my flip flops til at least 10 o'clock.
Your blueberry beard looked amazing. And I Love all your animals especially the Goats.🐶🐶🐶🐶🍰🍰🍰🍫🍫🍫🍫☕☕☕☕🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲
Carrots growing on your cooking compost are great. To high for carrot fly and the compost is light with no rocks! Try it!
My favourite squash is delicate. Amazing
Hey From Australia 🇦🇺 good morning everyone 😀😀😀
Pluto just cracks me up!
The memories being made. Priceless
I grew up in a Boston suburb too. Moved to texas probably before you were born😊. I can't IMAGINE homesteading in that weather. Come on down to Texas. !!😊😊😊
The bread looks amazing! I need to make that soon 😋 It was fun to watch you go through the Baker Creek catalog . I need to make my final decisions as well.
I am not sure how long I have been watching your RUclips but I have to say it is a peaceful and enjoyable one. :)
Morning!
And goodnight from Australia 🤣
I bet its nice and warm in Australia!
@@LumnahAcres 35C tomorrow. Much nicer than last weeks 47.7 C 🙂
Here in northern Arizona ITS almost spring NOW !! Our spring is here before you know it..
We had our 2019 blizzard last night here in Central Mississippi. About 1/4 inch of icy snow. 🤪 I know y’all will be glad to see some spring weather. Hold on it will be here before you know it.
Awww, this was love,y this morning! Ordering seeds!! Love it!
Making cookies together, was so heartwarming and they
Look yummy!! Sending Blessings and love from this old lady in Texas!
☺️🕊🙏♥️🙋♀️
Love seeing all that snow! So when are you going to introduce Tanner to the goats and chickens?
Seed catalog time!!!
Very fun & lots of smiles
Great idea putting the water pan in the tire!!
Lumnah Acres I want to know where you got those hudge sugar and flour glass canisters plz. There awesome and I'd like to get some but can't find them anywhere?? And your place is so beautiful with all the snow. :)
Ditto !
I have wondered also!
I really enjoy your cooking/baking at the end of your videos!
