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!

I grew up, in Western Australia with ONLY white eggs from the chooks. NOW there are only Brown eggs. It took a trip to Canada years ago to see white eggs again. I was stunned!. NOW I see "green" eggs............. I also grew up with only orange carrots .............. when I was in Canada I saw a MULTITUDE of colours!!! Heavens above I love watching these channels....
I’m also in Victoria Australia. I’ve watched you all through your last summer, with so much rain, while we’ve been desperate for it to rain here, I watched you through your winter with so much snow while we had 47c temperatures and still no rain, and now I’m watching you through even more rain and still no rain here. Our summer seems never ending this year. We have no town water here and rely solely on rain water for all our needs. The tanks are almost empty now. I would gladly trade you sunshine for some rain!
Oh my, wishing for rain for you guys, best wishes from Cave Spring Georgia
We had a F2 Tornado hit 5 miles from home (De). Thank the Lord we are ok. Prayers for those who lost homes and businesses. Our favorite soup…Split Pea soup! 😊❤❤❤❤❤
You're in Delaware? Me too!
Beautiful sunny spring weather here in the uk. Blossoms and flowers are pretty and smell so good. 💐🌷🌺🌹
I make a soup which is called Kitchen Sink Soup because there’s everything in it but the kitchen sink. My son has moved to the USA and now cooks it for his family.
Glad the girls are slowly accepting Hope. 😁
Oh did this soup make salvation for me on the day the freezer quit!
Love how Hope just makes herself at home feeding with the other goats. Also happy to see that the goats are slowly adjusting to Hope
Hope needs a type of dutch door for her back area so she can go thru and the large goats cannot. Love watching your goats!
That's a good idea, but she is growing pretty fast. I guess when she can't fit through any more, then she doesn't need it. Hmmm
Morning Al, hope your back is feeling better...its so wonderful to see Hope, she is my hearts delight, I am happy she is bold and gets in the feeder, she is too little to eat from the outside and get any of the good stuff LOL.....if its any compensation the weather here in the southern hemisphere (Australia) is silly too, I have Azalea's that should only bloom in the spring for a short while, that are blooming right now and its Autumn here! absolutely crazy, just like you are inundated with snow and rainfall. Let's say a collective prayer world wide that the weather becomes more reliable and stable. Please give Hope and Figero a special hug from me, I adore them both so much :)
April showers bring May flowers! 🌻 at least mosts the snows gone ❤️
I really look forward to and enjoy your videos, Al. You've got a lovely family there; and your homestead is awesome! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos & for sharing your lives with us. Just want you to know that your subscribers, new & old, appreciate you! Blessed be. ✌
Hey Al, speaking of wet, what's going on with checking the maple trees? With all the snow melting and warm weather I expect they're flowing by now. No?
Peas the green veggies from the behind. Rain! April showers bring May flowers. Well it's more like April snow showers bring May flowers. Hope is warm enough to go without her sweatshirt. It won't be the frist cold Easter, we have had here in the US. Thanks for sharing your family and farm life with us!💐🐇🌷💐🐇🌷💐🐇🌷💐🐇🌷💐🐇🌷💐🐇🌷💐🐇🌷💐🐇🌷💐🐇🌷💐🐇🌷💐🐇🐠💐🐇🌷💐🐇🌷💐🐇🌷💐🐇🌷🐠
Snow or rain you can't buy a brake.
Remember...good or bad a day is only 24 hours long.
I pray your get some sunny DRY weather. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Oh I was over on Social Blade today and WOW the amount of new subs since you got Hope is amazing. I am positive they will stay because your family is amazing with the animals etc!! HUGS guys!
Remember Al when you said you were looking forward to mud?
I am just not the rain! lol
I almost spit out my smoothie when I saw Tanner and Figaro playing! Too cute
Followers let us come together and pray for sunny days and planting for this sweet family. Enough snow and rain! Bless them dear Lord!
Amen!
My favorite part of this video was Figero playing with the puppy! I have three tuxedo boy kitties and they are very playful! Your cat cracks me up how he shows up in precarious places :).
Was for sure a crazy Winter. We're getting that rain right now here in Northern Ontario but still have spots with 6 feet of piled up snow. It's nuts
I living Australia Victoria and we are in a severe drought at the moment we haven’t had rain near a year now and it’s dreadful!
Riley Carmosin sad to hear that. Hope it starts raining soon.
Riley you want some of my rain?
The weather everywhere is so crazy lately. I can't believe your Walmart closed! That is very unusual and makes me worry. Please stay safe. 🙏I hope you guys get some beautiful weather and sunshine 🌞 soon. That music🎶 you put to Figaro🐱 and Tanner🐶was perfect. 😂🤣. The smell of onion, garlic and mushrooms is amazing! 😇heavenly! Tastes just as good. You all have a great day and stay positive. Blessings to you❤🙏
We do brucellosis testing too. It's scary to watch them draw blood. Can't imagine doing it myself. But I watched you do it. GOOD JOB!
Gooood morning!!! We've been getting a lot of rain here in North Carolina and tornado warnings I hope y'all have a blessed day!!!
Also from NC. Stay safe in what is coming our way tomorrow! This weather's been crazy!
Split pea & hambone
You should make a little doorway just for hope to pass through that way if she is getting pushed around she can go in and out on her own and be able to join the herd
I swear, there's no better cheerleader for the good life than a child. You two have produced an excellent little girl. I hope she'll grow up strong. She already has so many skills, I don't think she can fail.
Italian chickpeas soup: Heat up garlic in olive oil with finely chopped rosemary and salt. Add caned or overnight soaked chickpeas. If its canned you need to bing to boiling if it is soaked then cook until it is soft. Add short pasta and cook together until the pasta is “ al dente”. Serve with freshly grated black pepper and grated parmesan cheese.
We are expecting rain this weekend. Still have plenty snowbanks left. I hope your back is better.
What great memories mom and dad will have of your daughter. Very rare today.
Good mornin Moose Crossing .... yep, we are expecting more wet weather over the next couple of days. I don't get any flooding at my house ... sit at a relatively high elevation here in town. Where are you planning to put your new barn ... seems like your newly cleared pasture wants to be a lake? Bet you're glad to see your garden beds popping out of the snow banks finally. I've got some of my seeds started, with the rest to be started today. I can't wait to get seedlings into the garden, but I have at least another month here in Pa before that happens. Your started plants are looking very good. I have prolly a week yet before I see any sprouts .... I have them in the garage on heat mats but it's not very warm at all in there. I hope they germinate. Best of luck with this wet weather. Take care AL, Gina & "just say no to snow" Olivia.
Just had a terrible thunderstorm ⛈ here in Denver. Erratically loud. Animals are talking strangely. Lol. Be safe, everyone. God bless.
So glad to see her getting along much better with the other goats. Thanks for another great video
Hey Al, I think Blossom has become your new star on the homestead.
We don't have any snow left now but we're getting rain in intervals so we get two days of cold rainy weather twice a week. Last night we had severe thunder storms come through. We're still looking at flooding and the rain is just keeping it over flood stage. The weather is crazy all over it seems. Well Livy should love all the mud puddles to splash and walk through. You all stay healthy, happy, humble and thankful for every new day.
Hello from sweden.
Update us on the sap. Do you get any maplesyrup this year.
After surviving Hurricane Maria , that river gave me so much anxiety 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️. Hopefully you get better weather next week :)
we have a drought here in southern Sweden, can You send some rain over the Atlantic ? :-)
I wish that we could my friend Hello all of my friends in Sweden would love one day to come and visit your beautiful beautiful beautiful country thumbs up my friends
I wish we could!
Blossom: " 'Do we want some more water?!?! ' He thinks he's got jokes..."
I live in the redwoods close to Santa Cruz, CA. We’ve had 10” of rain in twelve hours on several occasions. We’ve had over ten feet of rain some years here. I live high enough above the river that flooding isn’t a problem. We have many landslides, trees fall, and roads washed away two years ago. Sometimes we’re unable to go anywhere because of these issues, but we love it here!
Happy Easter to everyone there.
We get more rain annually than the Pacific Northwest here in the high mountains of NC. My stream roars and can be heard everywhere on my 70 acres. During torrential rains you can hear the boulders crashing down the stream. Thankfully it isn't that humid here. I love mountain living! Hope you didn't get that snow! Blessings to all.
Greetings from Wisconsin! Hey, I love watching you cook like today beef barley soup. I am learning from your cooking. Thanks for sharing! 😀❤👍🐐🐕🌴🌵🏡🌍😀
We get rain here in the southern Blue Ridge like you guys get snow last year we had 100 + inches of rain, this year has started out the same.
You are also a. Blessing. Thank you for your hours of work to include us. Into your life.
You know you can salvage that celery by sticking the bottom in some water until roots sprout. After that the tops will start regrowth and you can put it into some soil. I have a bunch of celery and green onions that I've been using over and over for quite some time. Just cut what you need and it'll go for some time.
Somewhere in the world a garden vegetable grows wild. Near San Diego, celery grows wild along our streams.
Wrap the rooted celery in some wire net [to discourage four legged ungardening thieves] and plant it near running water near by your stream in as warm a location as you can figure.
We’ve been gettin alot of rain here In Utah, too. XD honestly I’m glad considering we live in a desert! This summer is gonna be dry af and we’re gonna need all this extra rainfall! 😆
Good morning. We got hit with thunderstorms and hail. Last night the wind gusts was 60 mph
Hope you keep showing the other goats that you are not afraid of them. I love to do white chili (a good weigh of using leftover chicken or trukey), chicken or turkey veggie soup, 3 sisters' soup (more a fall soup, can be eaten anytime), beef veggie, beef stew, beef, turkey, and chicken noodle. If I can get venison I make soups, stews, and chili with that.
Hello from Mississippi!
Been crazy rains and I think everything is flooded and water logged here!!
Goooood Evening Al ,
I received a few rain drops just after lunch time. Not even enough to make the ground damp . Which is fine with me. My lawn tractor has been stuck in a mud hole all winter. I'm hoping that the ground is dry enough now to get it out. Fingers crossed that it will drive out . As usual I am all by myself . So I must use more brain and less back . I have two 20' long nylon pull straps , a one ton come-along and a handy sapling tree . If I still can not drive it out , I can winch it out .
Spring weather. Been waiting for it all winter. Now that it's here what does it mean ? WORK ! And more WORK ! So many things to do and they all need to be done right now because it's spring and EVERYTHING is growing ! The peach tree blossoms have to be thinned , The blackberries and raspberries have to be pruned , several new trees are ready to be planted , the garden must be readied , and on and on . You know , maybe sitting with a cup of fresh coffee while watching the snow fall wasn't so bad after all .
And oh yeah , the grass needs to be cut already before it's knee high . LOL
found u guys like a week ago love the vids man keep it up!!!!
Tired of the weather
But also doing chores
We get a lot motivated
And love ur videos
Love u and keep it up
👍😊😊😊
12:30am Monday morning a tornado did hit in my area. we had some trees down, power outage and lost some buildings. thank goodness it was not as bad as it could have been.
That was a nice quote. Hugs and Prayers ya'll
Good morning Al. I owned a bird hatchery back in the eighties and used an old slide projector to candle the eggs. Worked great! The last thing I needed was an egg exploding in my Sears redwood 400 egg incubator :-O. I wonder if anyone still uses the old Sears incubators. Had to buy extra thermostats, but had a 98% hatch rate for waterfowl. Have a great day. We are not quite so muddy yet in central NH.
Thanks guys!
good day to you Al, Gina & Olivia !! thanks for sharing another awesome update and adventures on & off the homestead !! 👨🌾🎥👍✝
I don’t know why but I’m so attached to checking up on your weather to see when spring is finally there. Here in Seattle it is definitely spring . We have our share of rain to water what we have planted (peas greens and flowers) . Our temps are in the 50s and 60s. We have our beautiful spring sunny days too. I’m getting my city garden ready for the season. Watching your videos makes me want chickens again. I’ll be glad to see when you start seeing better weather.
Looks like spring there.
Here the weather has either been rainy or windy. Here in Southern Idaho one day it’ll rain and the next day the wind will blow like crazy. That’s been our spring. Still haven’t got anything in the ground yet, been to busy with baby goats, chicks, ducks and bunnies. Try to stay dry way over there to the east. Take care, see ya :)
We are going through that here too. We pumped out 6 inches of water from the yard. Then it snowed and then rained. We now have 8 inches of water to pump out this weekend. But the hose split open. It's hard to remodel a house when we are constantly working on the yard. 😫😫 Hope summer comes soon. 🌻🌞
morning, love to watch your morning chores and all of your pets and goats chickens. I am learning alot thanks have a pray no more snow!
Thank you and your family for sharing...great stuff dude!...keep on keeping on! And bless you and yours....
Good morning!!
Nice to see the snow melting!!
I tend to save all my bones from different meats and when I have enough I make a bone broth from it and then I make a "everything but the kitchen sink" soup, just whatever I have on hand, meats veggies and usually wild or whole grain rice. Glad to see that the goats are starting to be nicer to Hope.
Love the way you pray before your meal. Thank you
We've been having nothing but rain! I want to start planting and getting my yard all nice! I live in Massachusetts
Wow! That’s a lot of moisture!!! Sure am praying you are feeling well! Those sweet animals depend on you.
Blessings to you and your sweet family!!🕊🙏♥️☺️🌞
Glad y'all are safe and no damage from all the rain! We had pretty good storms last night too. We like Cream of Broccoli soup. Taco soup too.
I find him absolutely amazing! How does he do all that he does ? What a cute family 😊
Glad to see so much green pastures finally! I thought you wouldn’t melt all the snow till June/July. Keep on Keepin’ On!!
Where we live in the PNW, where it rains 9 months out of the year, we love our crockpot chilli!! Am anxious to try it out in my new cook pot like the one you have. Probably won’t take as long...but will be just as good!
Rain, rain, go away come again some other day! Keep dry Al! Things are still looking great at Lumnah Acres can't wait to see your next project. I know that it's looking bad for rain this weekend too. I'm going to walk the perimeter of a 10 acre horse farm I'm looking to buy, I was hoping that it would be a little dryer so I could see if the pastures drained well but I'm thinking I'm going to be walking in mud! I hope I have at least some dry'ish pasture so I will be able to start my gardens for this summer and fall.
Alabama here. Sorry about so much rain for y'all. We're going to be on the lookout for tornados again this evening. 😬 All of your goats are pretty but Hope is adorable. I miss having goats.
Your results are being sent to my home state!
That makes me excited cos it's something from one of my favourite channels being sent to my state.
What a team !!!! Beautiful 🙏🙏🙏
Glad I live in central California, light rain and sunny! Sitting here siding back door is open smelling the orange, lemon blossoms. Made some fresh lemonade today.
We are getting a lot of rain and thunderstorms here in Arkansas. It keeps raining and holding up our garden planting like everyone else I am sure. Love your videos! Really enjoy the cooking part as well as the chores. TFS!!!!
We are in UP Michigan so spring is just as slow here as there...
I made soup tonight too. One of my favorite ingredients is shredded zucchini... I put quarts of it in my freezer every summer then I put it in every thing from chicken noodle soup to spaghetti!
I’m so over mud but I was pleasantly surprised to find my kale over wintered in my south facing raised bed. I’ll get some plastic over it in the next day or so to jump start it.
Take care, thanks for sharing!
If you put French drains around the top and sides of the goats' yard it would keep the run-off away from it. Even simple ditches would help.
Good morning, Lumnahs! We had BBQ ribs last night following your recipe in a recent video! Delicious!! Thank you! I'm praying for you all that your back will be better, the weather will improve, and the work of your hands will be fruitful. You all are a blessing to us too. Happy Easter!
Good ☕️ Morning,another great video!! Take care Al,Gina & Olivia 😊
I love your videos your family your animals. Thank you for posting and sharing
The weather has been crazy here too! Yesterday 75/57f with rain. Today 90/60f sunny. Next two weeks the forcast swings from either 80ish or 90ish. I can't figure out what to wear! I gave up on planting this year. Sending lots of love💜 from sunny🌞 Arizona🌵.
Mud and egg season, here too. We are as tired of snow as you are, but the water was really needed!
Cool and rainy in the midwest...all our snow from the weekend is gone now.
Love the recipes and family dinners... keep up the great example..
We need the rain where I live, I live in western Canada on the prairies and it's been very dry this spring, Love your little Hope I'm glad she is fitting in well Have a wonderful Easter weekend, God Bless. Your soup looks good
Love the fact that your goats are getting used to Hope now. I love your channel and contents - I can always learn something new from you. Hope you have better weather soon. I live in California and I really appreciate that you always remind me to look at things from different perspectives - be thankful, be kind and be resourceful. Hope one day I will can be a homesteader to raise my own chickens and have freshly laid eggs. For now, I grow as much as vege and fruits my time and space allowed.
Good morning Al. Warm sunny weather here in Josephine County Oregon. The morel mushrooms are growing like crazy; nothing like an omelet made with your own eggs and fresh mushrooms from the woods.
A suggestion on your soups, after the onions start turning translucent, add the garlic (you should let the garlic rest for 5 minutes after cutting to allow the allicin to fully develop), saute for a minute, then saute the carrots for about 5 minutes, finally saute the celery for a couple of minutes to develop a deeper flavor to each of the vegetables. Add the liquids and during the last 15 minutes of cooking add any frozen ingredients, as they are already processed to tender-crisp. For a more velvety mouthfeel, add a little powdered tapioca or unflavored gelatin.
Remember, April showers bring May flowers. Here in Sunny Valley, we had periwinkle flowers in bloom on the 13th of March, hyacinth, tulip, daffodil, cherry are all in bloom now. Hope to get my Honeycomb Hive soon, so I can get a nuc of bees and start them making honey.
How has the sap been flowing? You haven't mentioned that for a while.
Are you going to try to get the excavator back this year? It would help with the barn build.
Have a great weekend.
Rain and storms coming again for me I hope your snow is done for the season
Good morning. Also good night because I live in Melbourne Australia and it's time for me to get ready for bed, I'll have to watch you video tomorrow. Time zones are so weird. I hope you have a great day at lumnah acres 👍🏻❤️
every year we have a mud month and then the real season begins, it is normallyb March here but now it is April and then garden season hooray! thanks for sharing.
Good morning,, we received alot of the rain the other day.. Today is looking like rain again.. just has that feeling, we lost alot of our snow also,,,cant wait to get the barns opened up and aired out and all cleaned, we are on baby pig watch right now,, Hopefully she holds off today,, since it has started raining already today..
That soup looks so delicious. Tanner & Figaro sure seem to be equally matched. I hope you guys catch a break in your weather. Blessings. Thanks for sharing your life.
Intermittent rain here also Al for the last two weeks...Your snow has been long but it will soon change...Hang in there Gina and Olivia...be happy its nearly over and the animals are fine!😏🙏👍
It is a sunny day here in the south west of Sweden 🇸🇪. About 62 degrees. Hopefully spring will be visiting you soon! 😎😘
I got roots in southwest Sweden. It is where smart people come from.
You asked what our favorite soup is. My favorite is baked potato soup with cheddar cheese sprinkled on top! Yum!!
Yah, we're having lots of rain. I bought a large water tank but i don't have the rain gutters pn the barn yet. Maybe this weekend I can put the extensions on the rafters and then the gutters and downspouts. Life is busy. Take care.
Glad to see everyone and everything is doing ok after the rains! Have you thought about getting some grading done to your lot? I see a lot of water flow, and unintended collection/puddling, and think cutting a couple swayles or even small creeks/ditches may be a help in draining. Also, some sort of raised section for a driveway down to your upcoming new barn. You had trouble plowing down the hill this past winter, and that's not a good sign for winters to come.
Cheers!
Oh gosh!! Not snow AGAIN!! I feel for you all. We’ve had decent weather here in south Louisiana the last several weeks. We had one Storm about 2 weeks ago, though, that brought more street flooding to my area than I’ve seen in my 55 years. Then, we had a day last week where the wind was terrible but no rain... and THIS AFTERNOON we’re expecting a pretty gnarly storm complete with both wind AND rain. Praying it doesn’t get too bad.🙏🏻
Y’all stay dry!
Such a wonderful family ♥️
The soup looks delicious. I know I remember a few years ago where the Walmart where I was living was shut down because it was flooded out. The parking lot looked like a pond. Also the rain that year completely put under water a couple of 4 lanes around the state. I had to take a different route home. Hope everyone is safe and sound and dry. Have a great day.
