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!

Pitch fork works great to pick up piles of straw and poo. Made it so much easier for me to put it in a wheel barrow and to the compost pile. Loved it when my girls gave me large eggs. The only one to give me double yolks was the Rhode Island Red and she was the smallest of the lot but also the one in charge. Funny how things work.
So glad Andy has found his niche and has something to crow about with his free range harem 🐓
Happy for Andy also, now he's happy again. Go Andy! :-)
Me too! I like Andy a lot!
To make it easier to gather the goat pellets, I'd drill a hole in the corner there, (keeping the plug of wood to plug the hole back up), and sweep the pellets to the hole to drop down in the bucket.
Always enjoy my mornings with Lumnah Acres! God bless yous!
Roberta's Artistic Adventures Excellent idea!
Yeah very good.
These chickens probably think they live in an unstable world. About once a week there is an earthquake that shakes their home and when they come out the sun is in a different place
LOL!
I love your comments, had a smile on my face all morning
Thank you AL for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden on RUclips👨👩👧👸👕👓🐔🐓🐥 🐩🐈🐖🐐🏡🎥👍👍👍
I was going to ask you about that curtain rod the other day, but I had a busy day. Glad you took care of it. It looks so much better with that center support! 👍❤🌅🌵
Your wife is very lucky to have such a hard working husband. You do so much on the farm. Love watching your family videos.
It looked like the new grass was coming in nicely where the wild turkeys are. Thanks for another great day on the farm, Medicine for my soul 💜
Like the Background Music...Not annoying..Very Pleasant....Sure Miss New England! Reminds me of My Youth so much...Hmmm, this is funny, when I was a teen, my brothers girlfriend asked me, "whats it like to live in 'New England"? My brother and I looked at each other a bit confused, and we smiled at each other looking at the dumb girl, and broke out laughing!! She thought we were laughing at her, (just her ignorance) and she "Blurted OUT" ,"WELL, AT LEAST I'M Not a Foreigner! We were in Rhode Island!! Soooo Funny!!
Very chilly here in northern Minnesota this morning, 38 degrees and I'm sure that there was frost in the low areas and further from the lake. 9:30 am and it's only 50 out, and won't get much warmer today. Had to turn the heat on after 2 days of strong winds and lots of rain. Farming is always a learning experience, whether you grow up doing it or start later, I continue to enjoy watching your family and all the critters.
Next time you have to clean you chicken coop pull the tractor bucket to the door that way you only have to handle it once! Less work. That’s what I’m about.
Lynn Smith That’s what I do. It’s enough work just to muck it out, without having to move the pile twice. 😩
I was just about to type the same thing. Who wants to shovel twice?
Not only that but there is this nifty invention. It's called a dung fork.
Love your water system for the chickens.
I got one egg this morning it was a triple yolker it was great 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️❤️😀😀😀
Congradulations. Never seen a triple yolker 🐔🇦🇺
OOOOH! I’ve never seen a triple either! Well, maybe I have, from the outside, but sold it. None of my customers have said they got one either...😒...darn. I get a huge egg like that almost every day, out of 120-ish hens. I put one in every carton I can fit one...and sometimes they have to be wrapped and handed over, as they’re so big, they won’t fit in the carton! The customers love it & so do their kids, who’ve never seen such a big egg. 😂. We weigh them on an egg scale, and they weigh off the scale, beyond jumbo. I always think it must hurt, too...😬
Never seen a triple hehe
I got one in a supermarket carton once. It was pretty as a picture on my slice of toast.
Astroflight I feel cheated.😐
Livvie is so cute walking with her little shoulders all hunched from the cold...when you asked why she was wearing a tshirt😊😉😁
At first I thought the goat milk was "Bloody" until i realized its the RED Paint in the background reflecting on the Goat Milk....Maybe Paint a White Square on the Wall so it looks white... LOVE Goats Milk and Cheese!
I really enjoy watching your videos in the mornings, keep it coming.
I’m really enjoying the longer videos, thank you for changing it up for us!
You posted this vid 3yr ago. It’s charm and your family still remain, though the subject matter has changed a bit, such a blessing.
If that was my goat shelf I would make each board a hinged panel with a tray underneath. Takes 5 seconds to flip a lever, boards turn sideways, pellets fall below, then empty every few months 😀 I love watching your vids and editing, please never stop 👍
SAN Diego is pretty much that temp year round. I just love your volunteer squash. Everyone is so happy, bopping around the farm.
Always work to do and it all takes time. Eggcellent dinner from all those chicks.
Regarding staking out the fence... Justin Rhodes counts the total number of panels in his electric fence. Then he calculates how many panels per side... After staking out the correct number of panels, he knows when to turn and make a corner. Easy peasy. (sometimes you can hear him counting as he's pushing the stakes into the ground.) ❤🌅🌵
Suzi SaintJames you don’t need to be that exact.....Al’s fence has character and works just fine.
Count you fence sections and divide by 4. Make it square. The chickens won't mind. Add a little vinegar to the water. It holds the eggs together for better poached eggs.
I'm impressed at how tolerant Figero is with Olivias' 'gallows carry'. Cats don't generally put up with that.
We use hay in our chicken and duck coupes as well and we found that a regular pitch fork works the best to get the matted hay out then we switch to plastic rake and flat shovel because we put down linoleum on the inside to make for easier clean out
You're really doing a great video
My mother only bought eggs from the neighbor behind our house because his chickens only laid double yolk eggs. Delish!
putting a smooth piece of linoleum sheet flooring in the coop will make shoveling easier and protect the wood flooring.
18:25 I usually just poach eggs in the shell. But I like the yoke runny and the whites done. 3 minutes or so boiling.
I live in Bisbee Aririzona and when it rains my gutters a random to a couple barrels instead of running them down to the ground I just run them to some barrels and that’s how I clicked I water the garden to water my lawn you could do that on your chicken coop and all your other animal barns
Pluto's and Figaro's "zoomies" are a sure sign that the fall weather is beginning to show itself with early morning fresh air and cool temps. I'm jealous because it was 83F by 9:00a.m. here in Taiwan this morning and kept getting hotter as the day went on.
Another trick for the goat turds is to soak them in a large bucket of water (garbage can sized) for a "tea" to fertilize your garden with. Toss in a mesh bag loaded with weeds and leaves of nutrient mining plants like comfrey and yarrow to "melt" and add more nutrients and minerals to the tea.
Youre a very clever man !! All the best from Norway
You shouldn't have to take down the WHOLE FENCE when you move New Yolk City. Just take 1/2 of it down and swing it around to complete the other 1/2 of the square. That way it's easy to move and your lines will just move easier.
Get yourself a pitch fork to help clean out New Yolk City. I agree with you about wishing it was a nice cool 65 all year round.
drill about 150 holes into the top of the goat platform all the way across, about half inch, under the platform use plastic board or tin,at 1 corner tuck it in high. opposite end very low, it will allow everything to self collect, maybe a little sweeping at most, and with the chicken coop, use a floor liner. a large tarp, with handles on all 4 corners, when its time to clean up, grab all 4 corners and pull it out the door, if you had a lift wall on the back you could save some time aswell
oh how i wish my little girl who is 58 was that age again children are so precious .
Poached eggs: add a drop of vinegar to the water when it's boiling and give it a swirl before dropping in the eggs. Keeps the whites from trailing all over the place. And place them on some kitchen paper to absorb all that extra water off before serving.
Great Day Today. Thanks for sharing.
I was looking for some older videos to watch since I'm one of your new Fans, and I didn't realize that you had such nice salt pepper hair. So handsome. Loving the older vidoes.
FYI - I'm pretty sure goat poop is also one of the few manures you can put directly into the garden without composting first.
Yes it is ready to go, or sheep manure. Others are green manure and need to be composted for a year. They need wood chips or soil mixed in. That goat manure is sure great.
Get you a big metal dustpan, that will help with the little fertilizer marbles.
Wow the trolls were busy on your page today.. must say I love you videos.. my boy Auggie and littlest Barbara Rose and I all watch your videos together. You are very positive and upbeat and keep a smile on my face the whole show. Have fun, be safe and be kind Shannan
That dog and cat are hilarious.
A pitch fork would help picking the compost up. You might want to open the gate and pull the tractor up to NY city and throw the compost into the bucket.
gloved hands are always quicker when dealing with hay/manure ...pitch forks and shovels are a pain. Fresh poached eggs...the best!
I came across your channel by chance! and very nice and you have a wonderful family! Greetings from Italy
Weld a pipe to the top of bucket to store rakes an pitch forks,long handle ones.
God bless you always Gina and olivia
Hey Al, they make a thing called a pitch fork! Ain't too expensive and very handy for that sort of thing!
You should start your fence at the door and shovel your coop right into the tractor bucket then put the fence back up.
Love your family and apparently the wild animals do too
The place you want that has nice weather all year round is called Arizona
Looks like you need a pitch fork to clean New Yolk City!We have to get our coop cleaned out soon too...yuk!Love your goat nail files :)
I hear him. Great!
Your animals look so happy. I really enjoy watching the daily video. You’re living the life. Keep it up.
Haha when you were milking it looks like the milk is pink with the red paint in the background.
Al, Ecuador has spring like weather all year long, or so I am told. I hope,to,check,the area out next year.
My method for making poached eggs on toast for breakfast is to get the water to a roiling boil, place the eggs into the post, put the bread in the toaster and when the toast pops up the poached eggs are ready. Put the poached eggs on top of the toast and break the yolks. Wow, that is good eating.
@17:48 Add some vinegar to the water and the whites firm even faster to prevent them from dispersing in the water.
Nice curtain rod fix!
🐷🐐🐓🐔🍓 good day to you Al, Gina & Olivia !! thanks for sharing another awesome update and adventures on & off the homestead !! 🍓🐔🐓🐐🐷
Watching your channel makes me wish I’d made different life decisions at a younger age. Love watching your family and farm grow.
love to see those drone shots
Pitch fork will serve you well from what I see my friend
That was really good for a first time making poached eggs. Might I suggest about 1/2 the amount of water. You want just enough to cover the egg when cooking. I found from trial and error that if you carefully strain the eggs in a very fine mesh strainer the really thin watery white drains off and you have less crud floating in the pan. I use a small one egg size and transfer it to a cup like you did to put it in the water. Trust me on this. DO NOT use the strainer to put it in the pan. The whites cook instantly and you have to use a tooth brush to try to remove it from the small holes. I tossed it and got new. It was not pretty. LOL!
I love Lumnah Acers
A good metal Pitchfork would help a lot to pick up that compost up from the chicken coop or New yolk City
Old Red Skelton Gertrude and Heathcliff bit: I started laying square eggs. Gee, don't that hurt? Yeah but they don't roll out of the nest!
That egg came out of the cross eye'd chicken...... well if it wasn't it is now ...........
Gonna have to try those poached eggs. Looks fairly easy, tasty and healthy. That's a win win win in my book, thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend everyone! Yeah Andy!
Al, a shop vac would be ideal for the goat turds, then just empty it into the bucket !!
pitch fork works pretty good for cleanup
Why not use a pitchfork for picking up the pile of new yoke city compost? Just a thought, I had, to keep your gloves out of the chicken poop. Love the videos!
Nice flock'o wild turkeys you got there! You can get even bigger eggs AL ...... get some ostriches ~8^) Yep ..... Andy is in his element ..... crowin his heart out ...... he has to make up for lost time ....... you go Andy! Take care AL, Gina & Olivia.
We have the turkey's as well love to see them but we had to build a fence around our garden to keep the deer out, also have problems with bears getting into the chicken feed and horse feed they are a real pain.
Olivia~~ love your outfits,, so pretty just like you ~~Pretty Pretty~Al,, always enjoy each&every video you put up,,And Your animals are just the most well behaved and comical,,, thank you so much...
Skateboard tape rocks!! I have it stuck all over everywhere here on the farm! LOL goat turd cereal!!
Are all your apples off the trees yet? How much longer until you harvest the pigs? What will you do to fatten them in the last days? Things are starting to get spread out all over the property.
Awesome job moving that fence around !!
Andy needed his own place to be himself...still rooting for his special shirt design-:)👍🏽. Do you have winter projects lined up or are you going to hold fast to what you currently have going on, you all really did complete some major ones last year-:)
I have a few winter projects I want to get down. One of them is for next years pigs
I need "when life hands you crap, you make compost" on a shirt!! Lol
You should put linoleum floor on new yolk city it will be easier to clean
Looks delicious! 👍😉
Love all the compost. You’re doing a great job.
Was there a reason you couldn't empty the deep litter from New Yolk City directly into the Kubota bucket? It would save you from having to shovel twice. Maybe a tractor-wide electrified net gate like you have at the goat pen would help?
One idea about poultry netting: If you count poles, you can make perfect squares or rectangles: just make sure each side has the same number of poles as the side across from it. For example with a 100' fence with poles every 10-feet (11 poles): Long sides 4 poles long and short sides 1 pole long = 10 poles + 1 end pole = 11 poles. For 164' long nets, try 8 poles on the long sides and 5 on the short sides.
I can show you the math formula if you'd like.
The deer are eating the fresh growth the turkeys are looking for more seed I imagine the rabbits are eating well too.......if the grass is squared off at the top it is from browsing....if not it will be pointy.
First attemp at poached eggs? Impressive.
Just my mind going back to when I was a boy, I think you need a 4 or 6 tang pitchfork for picking up those chicken droppings into your tractor bucket
Poached eggs. Trick is a LOW boil then eggs in a glass then drop in. But you got to make sure there is a boil. It will make sure you dont have uncooked white in the middle of the egg.
Lol hook up a Turd Buster out of an old shop vac hooked to solar power 😁
Now that you are using a bucket for the goat poo, to make it easier on yourself, get a straw broom and cut the handle down, it will work much easier than the brush you are using. :)
As for your chicken fence, have Gina help you to set a perfect square. Next, use a can of spray paint and mark the corners of your fencing. Then whenever you move it and set it up, you will always know where a corner sets and the fence will still meet perfectly every time. :)
Noticed your 3 point hitch drops very abruptly. There should be a adjustment for that with the knob just below the front of the seat.
Great skill to poach eggs you nailed it Al 👍
Do a in depth tour of your farm please
I'm happy Andy has his own flock now 😀
There is a place 70-80 all yr round. I live there!
I love your curtain rods I will definitely be trying that, Thanks
That chicken is still cackling a day later...lol
Moose is the Man!
