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!

Olivia you did a great job on that sign! It's beautiful! You should have dad get you some pallet board so you can paint some up and sell them for a summer job! People would love it! And you could save up some money. You are a great kid Olivia!
Olivia did a terrific job on the sign for the Chick-Shaw! Can't wait until Livie's Layers start to lay & see the variety of eggs you get!
Like Livi"s T...have looked at your merchandise..never see the one she wears....LIKE THE grey with white and bright green!
Olivia is obviously left handed. It seems that she would use a knife with her left hand.
Your "Chickshaw" went really well loading it up at night. Olivia, Your hand painted sign looks awesome! The letters are so we'll sized and lined up. As always Gina supper looks so good.
Lumnah Acres is my #1 Ytube channel! The green house is rocking it!
Mine too... I actually find myself slightly depressed on Wednesday and Sunday mornings with no Lumnah's to wake up to!
@@jenford7078 me too! The Lumnah's are a joy to watch! And a wealth of information!
Good Saturday mornin New Ham Shire ... squash beetles or squish bugs? Good to see you are getting some rain ... your soil was really cracking .... hope your getting enough to make a difference. Have a nice weekend AL, Gina & Olivia ... take care.
Good MORNING, I LOVE WAKING UP TO THIS COMMUNITY in the morning! Thank you. Al I have to tell you how inspiring you are to me and my husband. Thank you.
Thanks for the sign painting footage. I'm a font geek and it was fun watching the letters appear.
Well done on adopting the chick. Amazing when it works. Looks and sounds like the hen is feeling very pleased with herself. :)
Great sign Olivia. The hens will love it.
Another project compete! You guys make my mouth water when i see what you eat for dinner!
Try sticky yellow cucumber beetle traps with lures. Netting off your greenhouse to stop the beetles will also block your pollinators.
Nice work, all of you. Olivia is quite talented in her artwork and lettering. That greenhouse production is amazing.
Living Traditions Homestead mixes soap with neem oil and water and uses a two gallon hand pump sprayer. It seemed to work well on our apple trees for Japanese beetles.
I’m so glad y’all are getting rain, may it be long and gentle.
Years ago I was taught when onions got that all just taking bend them over to the ground and sort of break the stem but don’t break it off. That will force the onions to go larger route bulbs which is what we want for onions. Don’t know if it’s an excepted gardening technique but it sure seem to work.
Many years ago I had read to "pat them over with a broom when the tips start to brown". I think it encourages them all to ripen at the same time. While the bulbs are forming they need to make all the food they can. Don't try to push them too early.
Olivia you did a great job on the sign honey. The green house is looking so good. God Bless.
The sign is beautiful Olivia. They need some hay or straw in their nesting boxes.
"Two mating. You're not gonna mate on my plants." I chuckled.
I love the sign Livy made for the chick saw. Good job Livy !!
Staying tuned in to see what works for those rascal squash bugs. I’ve learned so much already.
should probably add some hay to them nesting boxes... Just remember Justin Rhodes, saying once that the hens wouldn't lay any eggs unless the boxes had hay in 'em!
Al used to use hay but changed to sawdust/woodchips. It didn't seem to make any difference to the hens ☺
My hens personally like dried grass clippings.
Hay or shaving or grass clippings prevents eggs from breaking! Give them several laying boxes to keep them from stepping on / breaking others.
And add hey to the hen rickshaw nesting boxes.
@@amandah2490 yes but you can't put that into the nesting boxes as they're old milk boxes..
Olivia’s sign looks greater, 👍 done
Saw video claiming Irish-Spring bar soap flakes will detract plant insects when scattered around.
Al, Gina, Olivia, Really liking the background images I'm seeing as you are moving around, lush greens and mellow wooden agricultural buildings, they compliment each other and show progress. After the working day, you just have to stand back one evening and take it in!!👍👍👍. Regards Stephen.
The new coop and sign looks fantastic! I cannot get over how great the green house is doing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Good Morning everyone. Add some hay to the crath nesting box
Outstanding paint work Olivia 👍👍! Very professional looking !
Nice professional job on the sign Libby, well done
Cool sign done by Olivia. You should get her to make a Pig Mobile sign too :) So good to see broody chicken and baby chick have bonded well :D
Al, when I had that problem, I mixed dawn dish soap and Olive oil and sprayed the tops and bottoms of my leaves. Never had anymore problems with them. They don't like the soap taste and can't stick to the leaves because of the oil.
Soft soap works as well
As long as the soaps have the degreaser ingredient.
That Dawn Soap is amazing multi purpose stuff...like liquid DuctTape. ;)
I might try that. Just ordered a new sprayer. I may try hand pollinating my squash also.
@@miric6224 Haahaa..good analogy. 😁
The problem with putting insect screen on the greenhouse is the bees won't be able to get in to do any pollinating
Right.. when the flowers come gotta open the netting. It's all about the timing.
I have a small bee hive inside my greenhouse, been doing this for 15 yrs now.
Exactly my thought. If he wants flowers pollinated, he will have to hand pollinate. Otherwise, grow only leafy things in there.
You really need to radius the corners on that roof of the chicken coop. Before one of you slice your arm. Metal roof is very sharp.
beautiful beautiful hand writing on the new pasture raised egg sign... job well done
some hay or straw in those nesting boxes would be nice even some shredded paper would be good
Olivia nice art work sign, the homestead is growing big time.
I love how hope nibbles on all the places you put the grain down.
Pickled beets are my favorite and love them in potato salad too. I'm so addicted to beets that I drink the juice they're in..haha..
Olivia did a great job on that sign for the new chicken tractor..awesome..
P.S. again sorry about Rusty..
P.S.S. thank you Al for NOT..pushing donations for your channel...90% of the off-grid channels make me feel quilty for not supporting...I haven't worked since March 16....DO A GREAT BIG ...THANK YOU.....LOVE YOU GUYS 🥰
Olivia did an amazing job on that sign!! Love it! Al are you going to do rain water collectors on the both goat barns and new coop? The heat killed my garden, got to love gardening in southern Nevada.
I really like the bigger chickshaw and I live that you let Olivia Express herself with the door my grandson did finger painting on a rabbit hutch door we built.
My wife loves watching Gina and Olivia play with the goats.
God bless and keep up the good work
Olivia did a great job on the painting of the coop nest box hatch opening.
Good mauhnin Lumnah Acres! A busy day! So glad the broody hen took in the chick. Great job on the chick Shaw door Olivia. Looks very nice! Take care!
I’m addicted to watching this regularly/daily. With having chickens and now a garden this year, I’m inspired. Love the channel and many blessings. ✌🏻🍻
Great Sign Livi, nice color choice
Playing catch-up here Al and Gina!! Been wicked busy on the homestead so it’s binge time with Lumnah Acres!! What better way to spend a Saturday night!!😁
You can trim onion greens, just like you trim beet greens. Next time you're in the garden take a taste. You'll be surprised. Great in salads. 💜🌞🌵
I am so impressed with your greenhouse garden and your outside garden. You will be eating healthy for a while. God Bless.
Adding some nesting material in the new nesting boxes might encourage your hens to lay in them. It will also protect the eggs when you move the tractor.
WAY TO GO OLIVIA ON THE SIGN! I WAS WONDERING IF YOU CAME UP WITH THE DESIGN ON YOUR OWN? VERY CREATIVE YOUNG LADY!😀😀😀💚
You can't use netting next year the tomatoes drop flowers that are not fertilized.. your bees need access to the greenhouse unless you are going to hand fertilize your greenhouse plants
Tomatoes and peppers are self-polinators, the wind or just shaking the plant is enough. The problem arises with the cucumbers and squash etc, they have male and female flowers and need help polinating.
Yellow sticky traps from amazon would probably catch a lot of them I use them for other flying pests in my garden and they catch a lot of bugs.
Love your new Coop! Livies artwork is great. Your family is so talented. Thanks for sharing your life with me🤗
Good job on the sign, Olivia! ❤️🇸🇪
Olivia - FANTASTIC sign on the new chicken mobile - very impressive work! - watching from Riga Latvia in the European Union
Your chickens show such pretty colors. I look forward to the sanity, hard work ethic, family cooperation, wholesome values and sharred knowledge of your channel. That includes your wonderful subscriber support. Please keep ‘em comin’ !
Great job Livi!!! The sign is adorable!!!
Looks like the axle on the rickcoop needs to be moved 18" to the rear as the back end rubs on the ground and the whole coop rocks to and fro in a jerky way as you pull it.
I was thinking the same thing and I believe it would also help if it had one long continuous axle instead of two.
That won’t work when he puts the tow bar on the other side for the side-by-side. He set it up to use the same metal bar, but the hitch set up is on the back end of the chickshaw.
remember the wheels were smaller than the plans called for 20in instead of 24in should have reduced the length
Great video..glad you finally got some rain. The garden is looking so good. Dinner of ham, mac & cheese and salad looked so yummy. Olivia you did a great job painting the sign on the door of the new chicken tractor. Well done...love the color. Y'all have a Blessed day.
Living in the outback in a drought ... oh wow! the sound of the rain ☔ ☔ when you are milking the goat .... sounds like heaven to me 🌦 ☔
I PRAYED you will have rain soon.
Outback Aussie - In Ireland it rains every other day whereas in Australia it's lucky if every other year!
Need to put staw in boxes for the egg layers
Love watching your farm grow. When I was younger my dad would clip one wing of the chickens to keep them from flying out of their fence.
I'm thinking if he cut the backs out of the new nesting box's similar to the fronts . .
When getting eggs
He can just reach in and not need to pull the box's out
The sound of rain a wonderful sound. Once again the dinner looked so delicious.
Maybe move mum and chick to the brooder so the chick has access to food and water.
I was worried about the baby chick not getting water or food up there with the broody hen.
Exactly the hen actually didn't take to the chick otherwise she would walk around with it and show it where to get food and water. The chick will die like that.
So I was thinking, they are no pigeons which feed their young.
Good morning Lumnah Acres great pleasure to sit here with my joe and watch love every bit of it from Abbeville La. have a blessed day,
After seeing Al's squash bugs I covered my squash with fine netting. Hope that works!
Getting a kick out of that new "crazy" brown hen.
The sign looks really cute Olivia! Your raised garden boxes and the green house are really growing! See you tomorrow! God Bless
Fill a spray bottle with dish soap and water. Spray bugs, have dead bugs. You could spray plants with a mix of water and diatomaceous earth for short term protection.
Love Olivia's sign. Glad you had some rain. Blessings to the family
Try soapy water spray it on the leaves it might keep them off for awhile.......you should put straw or savings in the new chicken trackers nesting boxes...I mean I would but there your chickens , and I love watching you guys
Olivia was so meticulous with the painting of the egg box door.... Great job, young lady!
I LOVE the new COLOUR SILVER on the chicken coop. It refelts the GREEN from the GRASS.
LIKE IT. It changes COLOURS and then it LOOKS NEW. COOL.
I LOVE your Christian family vlogs.
Thank you. Hope you get a nice rain.
My Grandmother had wire flooring and her Hens got bad feet ,and quit laying. She put a floor in and things got better.May God bless you and yours.
Good morning from Thornton! New to the channel, you guys are doing it right! God bless!
Good morning everyone from Capitol Heights Maryland. Waiting to hear Hope is having babies.
A wonderful productive day on the 🚜 farm, as always. Olivia, the sign came out perfect. A terrific summer time project. As a child, I always loved doing some painting during the summer. We had paint by numbers back then. But I never liked sticking to there suggestions. I mixed the colors up, so it didn't look exactly like everyone else's. The teal looks simply marvelous darling. 😉 Love and kiss's. G-D Bless and stay safe. More hot weather coming.
I love pickled beets my husband used to can them ....I miss having them he passed away 2 years ago.
Your daughter did a very good job painting the sign she’s pretty talented and everything you guys still looks very good God bless
Olivia did a great job hand lettering, good luck with the new coop!
For the part that connects the drip tape to the main line, Hoss makes a connector that has a ball valve so you can shut off some rows and water only what you want. Tomatoes don't need water as often as peppers and others so I shut the valves on the tomatoes about every other time I water. I find this works much better than the regular connector they provide.
storm is moving in... that thing is covered in metal... first thoughts 🐥🌩🍗
That looked like a well needed rain, hope all is good.
Could you explain how you process the goat's milk? What do you make with it? Thanks, for the great gardening advice
Lumnah Acres have said in previous replies that the only processing is straining & then refrigerate. They also said they drink it, use in coffee & have made cheese.
cool that the chicshaw is working so good. Looks like the boys really like the new clover filled pasture.
Beautiful sign O, great job!!
All of the sudden the pigs just look huge! They are growing fast like the vegetables. It's wonderful to watch! Are you going to get a new rooster? Kinda curious
4:32 You need to spray the the bottoms of those leaves. You only hit the tops (from what I could see) which is why you have so many survivors today.
Hey Al do you think a little straw in the nesting boxes for new layers would work ha ha
I was thinking about the little chick you put under the broody hen how will it get food and water? Just wondering ty.
What about winter with the second flock? That chickshaw doesn't look like it would offer the chickens any night time protection during your harsh winters
Thanks for another great video. I received my new hoedag from Hoss yesterday. What a great garden tool!
Olivia, love your Egg sign. I thought you were hanging it out for passersby so you could sell them. It looks good on the new tractor. I love that galvanized metal look.
Jamaica 🇯🇲 here loved the paintings of Olivia homestead looking really good it’s payday every day stay safe
Al, looks like you'll need a bigger goat barn.
Consider spraying the foliage with organic insecticidal soap. Or turn some mantises loose on 'em.
When spraying neem oil you need to spray each leaf on the top and the underside of each leaf.
they did that. thats what he sprayed the other day
Hey Al, check out Hidden Heights Farm video called Squash Bugs! Use these predators in your garden. Hope this may help. It keeps your garden organic.
Can't imagine those chickens enjoying walking on the wire. Good luck with getting the eggs out.
I imagine they won't be on the wire much, but spend their time inside largely roosting.
Greenhouses use yellow plastic squares which are sticky. The insects are attracted to the yellow colour land on it then die. Usually hung above plants.
What a pretty nest box door! Livvy is sure talented & another Lefty! We are the best! ;-) Blessings to all.
My mother used to keep a small jar of dish soap and would pop the bugs into it
