Just in case a few folks missed the lyrics posted earlier. Again, thanks for introducing us to Michael Shynes, Happy Before We Get Old Happy Before We Get Old by Michael Shynes I don’t cry when it rains no more Or I get dirt on my shoes I don’t mind climbing 8 more floors Cause these stairs are all heading to you I don’t wait for tomorrow’s sunshine When I feel it today And when it’s cold in the winter Remember that snow melts away One more cold drink One more road One more dance before The doors get closed Please remember enjoy the show Let’s get happy before we get old We don’t need plans or a fancy agenda Let’s just see where it goes We got no care for the way people stare At the dirt and dust on our clothes Hey, my friend, we’ll never say remember when If we keep making memories where we stand One more cold drink One more road One more dance before The doors get closed Please remember enjoy the show Let’s get happy before we get old Go put on that old wedding dress now Probably still fits like a glove Tell the band to play one more slow song Cause you still have all my love One more cold drink One more road One more dance before The doors get closed Please remember enjoy the show Let’s get happy before we get old One more cold drink One more road One more dance before The doors get closed Please remember enjoy the show Let’s get happy before we get old Let’s get happy before we get old No more whiskey I’ll have a Coke Catching bass on an old fishing boat One more story from Grandpa Joe Let’s get happy before we get old
RumMonkeyable - Thanks!!! I've been trying for days to find out. The voice was familiar & should have though of Michael Shynes seeing as Lumnah Acres have used him before but not recently. Thanks again!
what a neat wonderful video. The fact that the two of you do all this together is what makes this so special for me. Gina is not afraid to build a building with Al. and Al is not afraid to get into the kitchen or garden. The transformation you two have had on both the farm as you bring it back to life and the memories you are giving Olivia is what makes Lumnah acres what it is in real life and here for all of us on the video. Bless you all! Thank You
When you pull your tomato plants, save any desent sized green tomatoes by clipping part of the stem with them then put them stem and all into a brown paper bag to ripen. I do that when the growing season is over and they taste great. Just check the bag every few days to pull out and use the ones that ripen before the others. One year when I lived in CT I had fresh tomatoes from my garden for Thanksgiving.
Another way to get the air out of the bag is submerge the bag in water but leave the zipper above the water. The water will push out the air and you can seal the bag while it is submerged. I like using a sous vide machine, so this technique is key!
I really loved the way Al and Gina interacted with each other in the kitchen scene today. You can tell they love each other. Makes me like them that much more. Such a sweet and loving couple. Thanks for another great video Al, Gina and Livi. God loves you all. God bless you all.
Yes the greenhouse was a super improvement to the homestead. Giving the pigs full time feeders will greatly increase the bacon. Have you ever considered an underground water line to the greenhouse or quick connect hose ends on the hose pipes. Next year consider the melons 🍉 in one of the covered raised beds, they are to heavy to hang. Stay safe
Plants in the hoop houses need very little water during the winter months. They are surviving and little growth is taking place. The plants should be mature by the time the day length is 10 hours a day or less. Ground moisture and condensation provides most of the water requirements. Infrequent supplemental watering can be provided if necessary with watering cans,. Dragging a hose out for a few minutes on a sunny day perhaps once a month overwinter is possible but usually not required.
she cooks , does chores, takes impeccable notes, looks devastatingly cute and unlike any of my wives she laughs at your dumb jokes......you're a lucky man
Good morning from Michigan. Sorta gloomy around here today. No sunshine. Nothing better then Lumnah Acres on my computer screen and my first cup of coffee. My favorite food is....bacon.
Hi Al, Gina and Olivia. When you make your mixture for pork belly, just weigh it all up and make one mixture. Just spread handfuls of mix on each belly and rub it in. Use a tub to store them in. At the end of the day, you can either place them all in one bag(preferred) or separate them like you did. 8-10 days after the bellies have cured then applewood smoke them. I make bacon every month plus other charcuterie items. I see the chickens were generous today. Take care and God Bless.
Mmmmmm Bacon! It must be awesome eating your own homemade bacon! We have been processing hot peppers for the last few weeks. Just put 7 pounds of them in the dehydrator last night. We have fermented pepper mash, vinegar pepper mash and salted pepper mash. We must have gotten 50+ pounds of them this year. Now to prune them down and bring them in for the winter. Blessings to all.
Hey Al Just saw your bees related video where you put tht wood plank as an separation between the top and the bee hives if you leave the plan the bees will start building the hive on the plank.. Instead of the wood plank try putting a metal mesh thingie i have seen many bee keepers use tht... ♥️
A wooden inner cover is one of the components of Langstroth hives uses by most beekeepers in the US. If there is 3/8" between the top of the frames and the board, bees will not be inclined to build comb. If it's touching the frames the bees will glue the frames to it with propolis. 3/8" is commonly known as "bee space" nowadays and modern hives are built to provide this space throughout the hive. Langstroth wrote about the need to provide this space in the mid 1800s.
Great work and hope the bacon turns out great. We also prefer the thicker pork bellies for curing as bacon. You have put a lot of work into your homestead and it shows. Chicken looked good. :) Great job and stay safe! - Tom & LeeAnn “Outdoors and Country Living”
Back in the late 1980's, early 1990's we used to show our pigs, at one show I found a great kitchen knife. My late Mother immediately grabbed it to use for cutting up something for our lunch (we had a caravan to stay in), and promptly cut herself. I still have that knife, and it always makes me smile when I use it, because Mother was so amused by the whole incident. When we did our bacon, we had a large plastic bin and did a wet brine solution. Off the top of my head, to the water we added treacle, salt, cloves, salt, pepper, and a couple of other spices that escape me. 🤔 I'll have to hunt out the recipe book we used.
I love watching the family. Oliva so darn cute love the cat. Am and Gina you doing awesome job. I lay and watch everything I can . continue with the videos. God bless you all
Morning Al and Gina, When I raised pigs , it's called finishing the Pigs. The last month you want to give them something (we chose Milk replacer) to bulk and sweeten the meat. That may help with the Bacon yield. Otherwise you do a fine job growing them out. Your Carrots are beautiful Gina👍. JO JO IN VT 💕😄
Good morning from Utah....Your goats are still my favorite watching them walk or run to the feeder just puts a smile on my face. You guys work so well together you make a good team and I have learned so much from the process of the pigs, I am just glad that I was able to watch it all. I missed Olivia this morning. Great video again and God bless
Hahahaha, you're a riot Al when Gina was filling the bucket and you said it was making you want to pee, lol . The minute I think you're so serious, you come up with a funny. Thanks for the laugh today.
Great job on all the things!! That bacon is going to be tasty. I just had the 30 facts of Lumna acres pop up in my feed. That was really cool. It would be awesome if you did this again. It’s amazing how things change in just a few years.
Well I’m having builders withdrawal. Serious wish you would start on the barn again because I learn so much from you. Love the building projects keep up the great footage
I wonder if you have thought of using quick connects on your hoses, we have used them for years and loved how quick it makes the work go and no wrenches needed after initial install. Buy the best you can get and check the washers every couple years or if you get a leak. Gina, those are beautiful veggies, a hint, when you are using carrots fresh out of the soil they really don't have a skin that needs peeling, just a good wash. Please try it once, you may never go back. A recipe for salad: shredded raw carrots, crushed pineapple, and a bit of mayo or other creamy dressing. Yummy, unless you don't like raw carrots or pineapple.
I love all of this so much. I love the wood smoker you built. I've been trying to figure out what to do with an old woodstove I'm not using. Hey, seems like it would have saved you a ton of time if you made one big batch of brine then split it out to each bag by weight. You can total the weight of the bellies, then divide by the total to get the part of the whole, then multiply the total brine by each bag's percentage. But, then again, I love math!
Good morning, lumnah family! We had 4 inches of rain last night in northwest Iowa. Much needed moisture, but the ground couldn't take it in so fast.....my newly floored basement had alittle flood. 😭 Bacon is our favorite to!
In southwest Kansas, last night we had a dirt storm, lots of wind, we so need rain, believe California and the western states need it worse. Praying for rain over those that need it!
Good morning! Even though it's just in the brine stage, my mouth is already watering to see that bacon smoked and eaten. Yum! Love watching you all process meats. God bless.
If you use the same percentages of seasoning in the bacon every year, you could easily build a little spreadsheet that will calculate the amounts for you when you input the weight of pork.
Hey just so you are aware I received notice of the previous sausage video just today instead of today's video. It doesn't make much difference with me because I check every day and watch the videos that way, but some people may not be receiving notifications until later. Love your videos!!!
Sandra Westley, we have what’s called back bacon, it’s got a medallion and a small streaky end, I don’t know which bit of the pig makes this but it is much more popular in the UK than streaky, but you end up with more bacon.
Have you tried chocolate dipped bacon? Cooked to a nice crispness, cooled, then dipped in chocolate ( I like dark). Cool on waxed paper. Barn building snacking good!
I do think your melons and perhaps squash and potatoes might do better outside the green house in mounds or hills.. that would also give you more room in the green house for more crops.. actually I prefer tomato’s sun ripened better then green house too.
probably we just let them sprawl out didnt hang them either. agree sun ripened seem more tasty also but found quite a few that were attacked by hornworms also
If you have a spot near male goats where you had the sweetcorn, that would be perfect just till in some compost and fertilizer this fall to get it ready for spring for next year.
You should try honey carrots. Add a tblspn of honey and a bit of butter to the water and cook your carrots as normal. I usually julienne the carrots when I cook them this way. More of the sweetness penetrates.
Looks like a great, productive day on the homestead with your family. How's homeschooling going for Olivia? We are having a good year here so far with our three teen girls. Hope all is well. Blessings.
Good morning from south Alabama the full feed will get the pigs big quicker so they will be thicker in the bacon area. The limited feeding will make them leaner. We enjoy watching you guys and think ya'll make a good team. Blessed with each other. Keep up the good work and God bless you all
Your tomato plants still look great! Don't pull them yet those green tomatoes will continue to grow and give you more! That bacon sure looks delicious!
As a dog person, I was happy to see Gina interacting with the dogs while cooking. Your evening meal voice over was difficult to hear. I'm using the same set up as always.
Al, I am impressed like Gina was. What type of knife are you using to cut the slabs of bacon? You said it is your special knife. What length and the brand, please? You two certainly complement each other...Such an awesome channel....You can't imagine how much of a blessing you are to me.
If you click on their *Amazon Affiliate* link (In description under video) & click on *Influencer - Lumnah Acres* and *Harvesting and Butchering Supplies* you will find the knives they use.
Been watching your channel and a few others about pigs as we are doing our one pig next year. I've learned a few things which is not to control how much the pig eats-free for all! Commercial hog or Commercial with some heritage. We are only allowed one pig so gonna make the best of it with a pig that is loooonnngggg and fattens quick. We have a great butcher's shop that processes for our area. Can't wait for our own bacon!!
I like bacon as much as anyone, but i like a lot of parts of a pig. They are delicious in many ways. Ribs, roasts and sausage. Just a beginning. But i do understand the reason for your love of bacon. Gotta love the disposal aspects of what they can add to a farm.
Also for cooking turkey one of the best turkeys I have ever made is in a sous vide and follow ChefSteps Sous Vide turkey recipe, I highly recommend it!
when roasting your chicken, instead of useing salt and oil, try light soy sauce. Rub it all over the skin and it will come out all brown and crispy. you can also use the soy sauce on your roasted vegies, no need for salt an pepper.

Just in case a few folks missed the lyrics posted earlier. Again, thanks for introducing us to Michael Shynes, Happy Before We Get Old
Happy Before We Get Old by Michael Shynes
I don’t cry when it rains no more
Or I get dirt on my shoes
I don’t mind climbing 8 more floors
Cause these stairs are all heading to you
I don’t wait for tomorrow’s sunshine
When I feel it today
And when it’s cold in the winter
Remember that snow melts away
One more cold drink
One more road
One more dance before
The doors get closed
Please remember enjoy the show
Let’s get happy before we get old
We don’t need plans or a fancy agenda
Let’s just see where it goes
We got no care for the way people stare
At the dirt and dust on our clothes
Hey, my friend, we’ll never say remember when
If we keep making memories where we stand
One more cold drink
One more road
One more dance before
The doors get closed
Please remember enjoy the show
Let’s get happy before we get old
Go put on that old wedding dress now
Probably still fits like a glove
Tell the band to play one more slow song
Cause you still have all my love
One more cold drink
One more road
One more dance before
The doors get closed
Please remember enjoy the show
Let’s get happy before we get old
One more cold drink
One more road
One more dance before
The doors get closed
Please remember enjoy the show
Let’s get happy before we get old
Let’s get happy before we get old
No more whiskey
I’ll have a Coke
Catching bass on an old fishing boat
One more story from Grandpa Joe
Let’s get happy before we get old

Right on, Lee. Displacement is king but if you don't use a top-quality freezer bag you will just end up with boiled steak.
Lol I know, I have done it😂 Come back 12 hrs later to find my rib-eye swimming 😢.
I always forget that trick! ☮

What a way to start my day with Lumnah acres. Thanks for the great videos. Bacon is going to be so good. God bless. Stay safe.♥️🇺🇸🌹
Pluto saying no to that carrot sliver is the best few seconds. I think it’s so funny when fur babies get picky.
“Making me have to pee”! Al you are a hoot. Have a great day Sir.
Al's got it spot on. I was thinking the same thing when I heard that water tinkling down in the pail! 😄

Gooood morning, Al and Gina, have a blessed day
Good morning. You too
Also you can get air out by emercing the bag in water(kitchen sink)

Interesting curing the bacon! That vegetable dish looks good! God bless you all! ☺❤☺
Can't you leave the tomato plants in the ground until they stop ripening? It won't freeze in there for a while yet.
I love all of this so much. I love the wood smoker you built. I've been trying to figure out what to do with an old woodstove I'm not using.

Good morning, lumnah family! We had 4 inches of rain last night in northwest Iowa. Much needed moisture, but the ground couldn't take it in so fast.....my newly floored basement had alittle flood. 😭 Bacon is our favorite to!
Sorry to hear about the basement
In southwest Kansas, last night we had a dirt storm, lots of wind, we so need rain, believe California and the western states need it worse. Praying for rain over those that need it!
Great seeing Pluto and Tanner!👍👍👍👍
Good morning! Even though it's just in the brine stage, my mouth is already watering to see that bacon smoked and eaten. Yum! Love watching you all process meats. God bless.
Everything looks great and it's funny watching you eating at the end
Wow your carrots are beautiful 🤩, dinner looked wonderful 🥰💐🍁🍂
your favorite day... my long awaited video to watch
.
Bacon!!! Awesome guys. If the cold is not hurting the the tomatoes and peppers leave them in. Se what happens. Gina the food looked delicious!
Yep...lovin that carrot cutter!!
If you use the same percentages of seasoning in the bacon every year, you could easily build a little spreadsheet that will calculate the amounts for you when you input the weight of pork.
Al, have you guy's ever tried my favorite, fried green tomatoes? Of course im a proud southern boy, but its really popular in North Carolina!
Hey just so you are aware I received notice of the previous sausage video just today instead of today's video. It doesn't make much difference with me because I check every day and watch the videos that way, but some people may not be receiving notifications until later. Love your videos!!!
HA HA ... I GOT UP AND MADE QUINOA WITH CHICKEN BROTH about 2 seconds after seeing you make yours 😊 red pepper, mushrooms, peeled carrot strips
Sandra Westley, we have what’s called back bacon, it’s got a medallion and a small streaky end, I don’t know which bit of the pig makes this but it is much more popular in the UK than streaky, but you end up with more bacon.
Back Bacon is the same part as pork chops.
Those are the prettiest carrots I’ve ever seen. That meal looked delicious Gina!
I guessed 10 eggs!! Yay!! Have a wonderful day!
Thanks. The best part is they taste as good as they look!
The brine is pretty straightforward, it will make for very tasty bacon. Dinner looked delicious too! 😎😎😎
You two make such a great team!
to make a vacuum packet bang without a vacuum machine you can dip the bag in a tub of water to squeeze the air out of the bag
Hi al and Gina 👏 just us 2 Saying hi and thanks for sharing this video update 🤔 keep safe and say well and be strong 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
❤️ Good Morning 🌞 Lumnah Acres Family & much love I hope you're all having a wonderful day today take care & be safe ❤️
Greeting from a wet MN..First rain in over a month. Bacon is our favorite too.
Have you tried chocolate dipped bacon? Cooked to a nice crispness, cooled, then dipped in chocolate ( I like dark). Cool on waxed paper. Barn building snacking good!
I remember when pork was considered a lesser quality meat. It was labeled unhealthy. Public relations and advertising turned that around.
Happy Thanksgiving up here in Canada. Thanks for all your videos. Nice to see the bacon. Will be watching the progress.
Learned the trick watching you process chickens, I stick straw in bag and put bag in pan of water, all air gone.
I do think your melons and perhaps squash and potatoes might do better outside the green house in mounds or hills.. that would also give you more room in the green house for more crops.. actually I prefer tomato’s sun ripened better then green house too.
probably we just let them sprawl out didnt hang them either. agree sun ripened seem more tasty also but found quite a few that were attacked by hornworms also
If you have a spot near male goats where you had the sweetcorn, that would be perfect just till in some compost and fertilizer this fall to get it ready for spring for next year.
Melons and potatoes kinda like a sandy type soil as my dad did melons and cantaloupe and he had them coming out of his ears.
You should try honey carrots. Add a tblspn of honey and a bit of butter to the water and cook your carrots as normal. I usually julienne the carrots when I cook them this way. More of the sweetness penetrates.
Looks like a great, productive day on the homestead with your family. How's homeschooling going for Olivia? We are having a good year here so far with our three teen girls. Hope all is well. Blessings.
Good morning from south Alabama the full feed will get the pigs big quicker so they will be thicker in the bacon area. The limited feeding will make them leaner.
We enjoy watching you guys and think ya'll make a good team. Blessed with each other.
Keep up the good work and God bless you all
You like big bacon and you cannot lie. Great videos can't wait to see the new barn finished up .Heres hoping for a nice long fall.
For a more evenly distributed brine, Invest in a tumbler. Works fantastically!
the brine is mainly salt with brown sugar. one cup salt to a gallon or a little more water for brine.
You two work well together.
Goooood morning Al and family.
Goooooooood morning
Your tomato plants still look great! Don't pull them yet those green tomatoes will continue to grow and give you more! That bacon sure looks delicious!
You can use a sink or bucket of water, submerge the bags and the water pushes the air out
My dog loved cabbage. She would whine when I made sour kraut just to get the core. Nice veggies mix Gina.
Have you ever thought about using the milking vacuum pump to pull the air out of the ziploc bags?
As a dog person, I was happy to see Gina interacting with the dogs while cooking. Your evening meal voice over was difficult to hear. I'm using the same set up as always.
Love the look Pluto gave Gina when she tried to feed her a carrot. LOL
Carrots chopped into chunks and tossed in oil and herbs and roasted, delicious 😉
Good mauhnin Lumnah Acres! Bacon!!!! Woohoo! Take care.
My husband has made the maple bacon...so good!
Al, I am impressed like Gina was. What type of knife are you using to cut the slabs of bacon? You said it is your special knife. What length and the brand, please? You two certainly complement each other...Such an awesome channel....You can't imagine how much of a blessing you are to me.

Been watching your channel and a few others about pigs as we are doing our one pig next year. I've learned a few things which is not to control how much the pig eats-free for all! Commercial hog or Commercial with some heritage. We are only allowed one pig so gonna make the best of it with a pig that is loooonnngggg and fattens quick. We have a great butcher's shop that processes for our area. Can't wait for our own bacon!!
Choose a breed known for bacon and not a lard breed, some heritage breeds come down heavily in one of those two camps.
I like bacon as much as anyone, but i like a lot of parts of a pig. They are delicious in many ways. Ribs, roasts and sausage. Just a beginning. But i do understand the reason for your love of bacon. Gotta love the disposal aspects of what they can add to a farm.
I am learning so much about the food I love!
Morning Al and Gina, never saw bacon made before, very interesting, please show flipping the bags and the smoking process, super interested.
Check their *Playlists* for previous bacon videos.
Voice over at the end was buried in the music. Levels were off
I really enjoy the taste of White Pepper try this in place of black or in addition in all your cooking
I think those cups are from the Country Woman collection. You can get em at Walmart or Amazon.
Yum...BACON!!! Al please, please tell me where you found your leather bound note book. I've been looking for one just like that.
Also for cooking turkey one of the best turkeys I have ever made is in a sous vide and follow ChefSteps Sous Vide turkey recipe, I highly recommend it!
After soaking in brine for 5 days. just before smoken bacon soak the slab in clean water for a hour then smoke it. I worked in locker many years
when roasting your chicken, instead of useing salt and oil, try light soy sauce. Rub it all over the skin and it will come out all brown and crispy. you can also use the soy sauce on your roasted vegies, no need for salt an pepper.
Al you need some quick connects. They are great.
