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!

Plot Twist! Maverick & Goose flew to Arizona to visit Weedem & Reap! They heard about their pond! And won't be back until you build one! 👀
Ronald Delong LoL I hope this is what happened to them, I’m afraid something got them out in the woods
@@crinick9344
We hope they're safe. But remember they were slowly crossing the road for a couple of days. Still in the area but exploring further grounds. Animals can be just as curious as we can be sometimes. And on the positive note no evidence of any "fowl play" so that's good news.
not likely.. it is bloody hot here right now.. no living thing wants to be here
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...
We had a par of ducks that joined a flock and went south. They returned in spring.
I sure hope the ducks return, things aren’t the same without their mouthy quacking 😢Figaro is a mighty hunter, and an adorable asset on the Lumnah’s homestead 💞praying you find the quackers 🙏🏻😢
Think the ducks have found a pond somewhere and are enjoying it too much!
one way of cooking corn is not to remove the husks; just place them on a grill...cook them rolling them over every 15 min for about 30 min; the husk and silk pulls right off; it steams inside the husk;
That’s what I was going to suggest. Once I tried that, I haven’t gone back to steaming or boiling in years... It’s tough to match that fire roasted flavor using water not fire. And those little kernels of gold that the flames touch and they turn brown, mmmmmm that’s yummy!
Tracy Bruring yes soooo delicious 😋. I learned that way of cooking in Wisconsin
Maverick & Goose probably found themselves some ladies and set up housekeeping.
I prey that's the case.
I have grown a fondness for those two quack's
He should have cut a circle. The way he did it the cuts are likely to continue.
@@hollowpoint357sw4 hmmm
Hey Al, how are the bumblebee's doing?
Gooood morning this morning from the MS gulf coast i hope everyone has a great day
My in-law’s process lots of corn every year. The whole family gets together and everyone has a job... the way they remove the silt is to take the end of a baby bottle brush and put it in an electric drill... they wedge the drill in a saw horse and hook the trigger to make it run automatically, then you take the corn that’s been shucked, but not silked, and you just run the corn around the baby bottle brush head and it removes all of it.... much easier than removing it by hand... although they have a lot to process at one time... :)
Good morning! If you add 2-3 tbsp of butter into the pressure cooker with your water the corn tastes even better!
Yum!🌽😋🌽😋🌽😋
You can stuff steel wool into the open ends of the conduit for the mice and rats.
At the beginning of the season the kernels will be smaller, as the corn ages they get bigger, but they’re also not as tender. I love the young corn for fresh eating and the older corn I like to can. It’s so nice to open up a jar of summer goodness in the dead of winter!
what is it with white people and corn. I sold produce and I've heard this. Corn literally peaks, as all other products, when it is fully mature. It is not like fancy baby back ribs or something.
@@Ivana9910 OK, only white people huh? I know I am 2 years late but what about other nationalities and corn?
Bummer that Maverick and Goose are still missing 😢 mmmm corn! Love it with melted butter and salted 😋
Maverick and Goose headed for water. Something tells me they are cool and comfortable right now.
I'm in Florida if I spot them I let you know.
Zeke's bleating is both sad and hilarious. 🤣
😂 Yup
Your corn is beautiful!
That’s one veggie DaNelle has trouble growing.
👍🏻🌻💕🙏🏻
Your climates are so different.
I’m hoping your feathered friends return.
Are their wings clipped?
🌻
My dad loved fresh corn. Always planted some rows every year.🌽
Morning Al. Have you thought about using the drone to look for the ducks? Love your videos. Please pet Hope for me:)
Thats a great idea. Funny how living 1800 miles away we worry about animals that are not even ours
@@warnerrobins8542 right!!! Love is love, distance makes no difference.
Great idea!!!
My first thought.
Great idea. X
Sure hope you quack the case of the missing ducks🦆🦆
Seems a little "Daffy" to me lol.
I hope u find them. Might want to check for fox’s. They are so sneaky, smart and beautiful. Took out at least six of our ducks. They seemed to like them better then the chickens and unlike the coyotes they didn’t leave a mess. Hopefully that’s not the case but if you have the trail cams set up maybe you have seen a couple. Love ur homestead and look forward to purchasing more land and expanding our hobby farm to a homestead. Thanks again for sharing your successes, temporary failures, and years of tweaking.
Guard Goose time. Everybody needs a Donald. I bet they can find some from their meat bird suppliers.
Hi...... AL and Gina you both are great I really enjoy watching your video homestead, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👨👩👧👸👕👓🐩🐔🐓🐥🐕🐖🐈🌱🐐🏡🎥👍👍👍
To clip the chickens wings, turn off the auto door. When you let them out in the morning, let out one at a time and clip as you go.
Don’t know how your greenhouse can not freeze in that super cold climate .......last winter by you is still making me shiver.....heeeeee take care...
The knowledge I received from your channel was passed on last evening to a fellow youtuber. They were having problems with something eating their tomato plants but they could not find the culprits. I told them about the horn worms and I even told them about the black light. I hope that I helped this person. You get the credit though. I just passed on your information.
Wayne Leamom - The positive things about the internet society/community!
Good morning Lumnah family ☕️ chill 61 degrees this morning in Philadelphia, I believe Fall is upon us... mmmm Cauliflower, so many options... have a blessed day
Maverick & Goose are hanging out with Iceman and Slider down in Fort Lauderdale, playing beach volley ball ! I really hope they come back soon, miss those rascals!
If you leave a few husks on the corn after removing the silk. soak the ears in water. You can toss the ears on the grill with the chicken to roast, you need to turn the ears to cook evenly. I've also wrapped ears of corn in a wet paper towel to cook in a microwave oven.
Soak the corn, husks on in water and put them on the grill!
The Veggie Boys grow tons of sweet corn up in PA - they'd probably know about the kernel size.
so much garden growing this year, so great to see, seems one of your goals has been reached
The corn just needs a little longer and those kernels will swell Al. Cant wait to see that greenhouse full this winter!😃
The look of pride when Al mentioned everything for dinner was from the homestead.....Priceless
All the homesteaders are fallowing a scripted message these days. Especially those associated with " Homesteaders Of America" & are sponsored by the big companies.
@@indicasmama Right ! Sometimes it's disconcerting-especially being an urban dweller searching out this and that at the stores. Patio gardening is fine but it's not the same. Justin Rhodes does it on the regular.
@@indicasmama I never thought about that. I imagine it is true, but do you facts to back this up?
That IS quite an accomplishment... representing LOTS of hard work.
@@indicasmama A bit of jealousy perhaps!!!
I'm so excited for you guys! It will be fascinating to see how much food you can grow throughout the Winter!
Another great video ! God bless you all !
I dunno why but one of my favorite parts of the video is when they go on an ester egg hunt- Is it just me?!?! ;)
Looking good!!!
An idea for cooking corn on the cob that I saw. Microwave it husk and all. (about 3 minutes for two or three)
Then chop off the bottom up to the first row of corn. Then grab (using an oven mitt) the top and squeeze the cob out of the husk and silk. The cob comes out done and without any silk.
Homemade butter is the best. I have my grannies butter mold, it has a pineapple carved in it which leaves a very pretty imprint on the top of the butter when you turn it out. My g-parents has a farm and I spent my summers with them. It was the best experience. I helped them with the garden, milking cows and feeding the other animals. I helped my grannie make jams & jellies and can veggies. Everything we ate was from their farm except flour and meal. It was awesome!!!
Good Morning 🌞 Al Gina & Olivia I hope you're having a wonderful day today 💙 much love & hugs also I love every morning when you go out to feed Hope Blossom Buttercup Nora Ivy Little P Magnolia & Willow it's so cute when they follow behind you or when they are walking in front of you 💙❤️☺️❤️💙 they are all so cute & funny 💙❤️☺️❤️💙 I was guessing 12 eggs 🙂 but nope LOL 🙂 & I thought it was cute when all the girl goat's came running & you said stampede ☺️🧡😆🧡☺️
The ducks found water somewhere and are loving life
Praying that the ducks are ok! 🙏😳Its quiet in NYC without them✌💞💞🤗 So awesome ya'll have a greenhouse, the sad thing about fall is knowing that the garden is drying out!😔🥬🥦🥒the pig garden looks fantastic
I love the smaller corn always crisp!
Morning! Missing those quackers.
Great to see Gina excited about making butter. I haven't tried corn on my pellet smoker but I have on my gas grill, in the husk until the husk is black then shuck when you can handle them then sometimes back on the grill for extra char. Excellent, thanks for the video
Return of the wiggle wire!!!! Long live the wiggle wire!!!!🌻
Another vote for the wiggle wire!
your worms are from the five spotted hawkmoth, we have them here in southern California too. check your plants for eaten leaves, I can find them when they are 1 to 1 1/2 inches long they hide on the underside of the leaves and look very much like the veins of the leaf. happy hunting
When you are putting a chicken on the grill on the stand you used do the following. I assume you have a can inside the bird. Add garlic, thyme and sage with a dark beer. Use a small potato to block off the neck opening from the outside and cover with the neck skin and use tooth picks to hold it closed. Then use the same liquid mixture on the pan and ensure it stay full. This will add a great flavor and the potato will cause the meat to steam from the inside out and make it super juicy. Weber makes a great seasoning called "Beer Can Chicken" cover the outside. i typically use about 1/2 a container for 1 chicken. Enjoy. Love the channel.
All the food looks amazing. I hope everyone is doing well.
Thank you for sharing! You should definitely cap the electric wire conduit by the greenhouse to keep mice out. It’s a cheap preventative measure with a big downside risk (the plants freeze because the mice chewed through the wires). Different varieties of corn have different kernel sizes so I suggest you plant several varieties next year and see which your family likes best.
Easy way to husk corn is to take a paring knife split each side with a slit from top to bottom. Grab the silks and pull down. When we kids got old enough we could do both sides and break off the end of the stem attached to the cob at the same time. We used to process about 800 ears in two days this way. I am really missing doing this and canning too.
Awesome video as always. Amazing that a little fan like that will blow up the greenhouse plastic like a balloon. Will be interesting to see rhe twmperature difference outside and inside in the winter. Have an amazing Tuesday, Andreas 🇸🇪
The kernels of corn are filled by moisture from the leaves on the stalk above the ear. In a dry year they will not fill totally.
Roots draw in water from the soil.
I'm no farmer but you might want to promote them to full bird.....
@Poison Ivy
Leaves are essentially the lungs of plants. They lose water through them in what is called transpiration. That causes a negative pressure in the leaves that causes water to be drawn into them from the roots.
Nothing better than corn from your garden.. as far as the kennersl size maybe the variety and how long you leave it before picking. I'm worried about Maverick and Goose. Look around across the road they were the last time. God bless . Stay safe♥️🇺🇸🌹
Hi I am Stephen
I thought I should asked why don’t you plumb in a all season water in the green house before frost hits
Stephen Martineau And wire in electrical at the same time. If coming from the outside kitchen building, it’d be an easy run for both.
@@robfl07 The outside kitchen in not plumbed, they use a hose from the house to supply the water!
The frost line in Northern New Hampshire is 36" to 48" therefore trying to dig a trench that deep in their rocky ground would be quite an undertaking! that's also why Lumnah Acres did not install a water line to barn/workshop.
Glad to hear Figerooo is killing those nasty mice. Maybe the ducks found a two sassy females to help them pass the time. I am hoping the ducks will be showing up soon. Have a safe day.🌹🦋😇🌿🍅🌻🌻🐞🍏🌽🌹🦋😇🌿🍅🐦🌻🐞🍏🌹🦋😇🌿🍅🐦🌻🐞🍏🌽🌹🦋😇🌿🍅🐦🌻🐞🍏🌽🌹🦋😇🌿🍅🐦🌻🐞🍏🌽🌹🦋😇🌿🍅🐦🌻🐞🍏🌽🐞
why would they come back ? They've flown the coop for some hot chicks
Well maybe the ducks want to be waited on by Al and Gina, while they make little baby ducks. I know Al says ducks make a mess, but duck eggs are the best baking eggs. I never ment to down Figerooo as a mouser. I just know this type of cat is a great mouser too. My uncle always had a ton of cats on his farm, and l love cats.

@@kathysemrau2301 No eggs as they are male ducks!
Hi Al...Love that cat, Figaro. Then the pigs and then the laying hens. They all have great dispositions. Seem to me, the ducks may have ventured across the road and fell pray to two legged predators. Lets hope not, but whoever may have picked them up didn't realize they were farm ducks.
Really enjoyed the invite into your beautiful family homestead! I am gardening on a smaller level, but desire to have a homestead like yours. I was so engulfed, it seems like I was there working with you! I am building a small 9x5 feet greenhouse for winter gardening right now. To see you all giving God thanks before sharing a home grown meal together was "PRICELESS"!!
Have you ever thought about a livestock guard dog that stays outside all of the time with your animals might keep the predators away
Their animals are locked up at night! except Figaro!
Have a wonderful day everyone. 💖
Good mornin...Lumnah's
lack of water does have an effect on kernel/cob size. As a child I hade a great yield when I planted them very closely in the rows - rows usual distance apart- I got more cobs per stock than when I planted them the usual distance apart, I was only growing a small amount in a backyard garden and hand picking, but it should work as well in a larger plot. I just figured that they naturally grow close together if a cob falls on the ground so I tried it. I planted them only about 3 inches apart so they had just enough room and at maturity were like a solid wall of stocks. they're new varieties of sweet corn that convert their sugar into starch much slower so you don't have to cook them right away like regular sweet corn should be, able to store in wet paper bag covered with a plastic bag in the fridge for up to a week. Older family friend use to grow "Candy Corn" - smaller pearl white, kernels that tasted amazing even after being in a deep freeze for a whole year, I have not been able to find Candy Corn seeds in storers, I believe she ordered them from a seed catalogue.
ps...Buttercup has the BIGGEST udder I've ever seen on a goat that small!
Goose and Maverick are out looking for some lady friends. You might find them at the local watering hole showing their stuff
I cut a 20X20 flap in the backwall @ top of my GH. I framed a
mount for my 20" box fan out of wood. OH, My GH is 7X10.
!
I appreciate thtat you show you saying grace before your meal!!! Very nice place you've got there! TY
Good morning from Connecticut! Poor Maverick and Goose! I pray they come home. Possibly try the black light again in the greenhouse at night, and go very slowly over each plant and maybe you will find them before they get so big. Although they sure can wipe a plant out quickly. I am sure you will find several. Peace and love 💘
Goose and Maverick got fed up waiting for a pond and decided to take a holiday.....sorry vacation.
Lol, we understand the holiday concept.
Kim Roberts yep but what about tomato?
Miss marvack and goose. Hope you find them.
I really love your channel guys.... I'm looking to add a greenhouse next year... I'm also in zone 4b in Gaylord mi great video and perfect timing lol I just started researching the best way to heat a greenhouse last week..I think I'm going to dig down a few feet and see
Good morning guys. This is our first year growing in our greenhouse/hoop house and we are in 4b also. We will see how this winter goes. Good luck will be watching for up dates.
Spiderman Al is always up in the air working hard. I am very worried about the ducks. Both missing. Yikes. 💖
Al, Gina and Olivia, A great recipie for corn, keep the husks on soak them in water. Hour or overnight, with a teasp of salt and a 1/4 c of sugar, drain of excess water, couple min, put the ears of corn on the grill, husks and all, turn after getting grill marks on each side , should take about 10 min or less , the sugar tenderizes the corn while it steams in the husks. Also aids in adding grill marks. Peel back husks, tie them to make a handle, butter s and p and oh my! Tasty roasted corn on the grill. Have a great day !
You are making my mouth water, and I haven't even had breakfast yet! 😀
@@samvalentine3206 May I ask if you are a fairly recent subscriber as I have only been seeing your comments recently?
@@tonygrimes13 - I've been a lurker for years... thanks for asking.
Ohhhh Gina, you have moved from brave to beyond brave. I admire you from moving from using gloves to no gloves with dealing with those hornworms. Girl, I won't even touch the dead mealworms that I feed my chickens. You are a super hero!🤺🦹♂️
That's it! 😠The gloves are coming off. 🧤 Ginas mad now!😡😡😡 Look out worms you're in big trouble. 🐛
Those zip ties are so much better than the metal clamps (tension or nut tightened). Wife sent me on a repair expedition to fix her dryer vent and often it brought me close to expressing myself with a varied array of expletives.
The Horn worm is the Luna moth larva. My chickens won't touch them with a ten foot pole. I put 1/4" hardware cloth around and over my tomatoes, and that seems to take care of the problem. If the moths can't get in, they can't lay eggs. What do you do with your extra eggs? I freeze some, and I water glass the others. Lack of water on the sweet corn. Last weekend we put up 22 half pints for corn casserole, 46 quarts, and 168 pints. I'm tired of corn. Lol.
Gina, try just putting the corn in the grill with the chicken. It will steam it's self in it's natural cover. Delicious.
Plus when you peel it the hair comes off so easily. Or cook in oven 350 degrees for 30 minutes, right on the rack, peel it back and you have a handle.
Slice cucumbers put them in white vinagar put shake a lot of pepper over the vinagar, put it all in the fridge in the morning or night before dinner. Goes very good with corn or burgers.
Have you found the ducks yet? Sometimes when it's hot like that, ducks like most dark wet or damp places. Maybe do you have a creek, spring ,or watering hole somewhere in the woods close? Might be nesting somewhere.
I was hoping too that Maverick and Goose where back. So sad, I hope they come back soon and nothing happened to them. Watching you all pick corn was bitter sweet, I used to help my husband when he picked sweet corn. Your ears look like they filled out well. If you didn't get enough rain, they wouldn't have filled out. You want small kernels or at least that is how we liked eating it. We ate it tender, not hard. When the kennels get big it is getting "hard". When canning, we let it go longer in the field to get bigger kernels, not to big though! Supper indeed looked very yummy!
Good morning!
I get a laugh at you picking up the fence for you chickens
That was some quick busking that corn...so happy It was so delicious. Still hoping and praying the ducks will return to the homestead....💝
Maverick & Goose may have found some water somewhere. Ducks need to be able to get their heads wet. Supply them with some sort of water source that allows them to at least dunk their heads.
I've been looking for Maverick and Goose.... no sign of them here in Northwest of England sorry.
Maybe they are auditioning for a remake of Top Gun!
Oh, I sure hope we're worrying for nothing, but.......so, I guess you've checked in with your neighbours for the ducks? 😮
If I were a duck, I'd be flying off ... instead of being stuck in one place... the place where ducks should be.... free....
@Justin Time I hope you're right 🙂
@@debt4717 you are exactly right! Not to mention ducks are territorial!
@@debt4717 I have had several Swedish ducks t live into ther 20's.
@@debt4717 it's a long story but one was black Swedish and I adopted several mallards from a co-worker, as you said didn't want any longer. He was 22 found him drowned. Figured all the mallards held him down. The other was blue/silver she was 21 disappeared on me. All were from tractor supply. Nice talk. I'm not the only one.
Looking good guys. Leave the corn on the stalk longer makes the kernels bigger but be careful it can get tuff. One tip is to let the silks on the end get completely brown.
That dinner sure looked yummy. Been wanting to get some local corn but haven't had time with my husband laid up with a broken back. Definitely going to plant some next year. Yep, already planning next years garden. Your videos always make my morning better.
So to keep my birds laying the nest boxes we confine them for a while when they start laying but we have an enclosed run attached to the coop ... then they learn to lay in the nest boxes
My corns taking so long , im drooling ,lol thanks for sharing about the bees :) i wounded if your ducks have gone on vacation . I hope they return soon
Don't worry about kernel size with sweet corn it's all about taste. That chicken looks so good wonderful home grown dinner
Corn needs more water to plump when growing. Btw did you know if you peel your corn and leave on the last layer of skin and cut the tip end then microwave on plate for 3 minutes you have the perfect cook corn? Try it. God bless your family!
@ 13:27 My grandmas fave frowers were trumpet vines, luipines, fireweed (milkweed version) and BAM! blackeyed susans rgt there😀😀😀😀😀
Place a can of beer under the chicken that maken the chicken Nice and tender. That's
How we do it in our BBQ
i like how the squash (of some kind) was growing in the corn. I have terrible luck with corn, deer and raccoons make off with all of it
I think the ducks got a head start on migrating south for the winter
You know how cold it gets up there 🐧🐧👍
Domestic ducks do not migrate!
RE: solar - If you add a marine battery and a charge controller between the solar panel and fan, you have the ability to inflate at night, when there's no sun to power it.
I found one big one earlier in the season. Since then I found 2 both had the white eggs attached so with the lushness of the tomatoes I let them be, hoping the little wasps hatch soon to save more foliage for me. Still getting tomatoes and peppers though. Good luck.
Good morning from Syracuse Indiana...Love you folks..I am learning alot from you all..
I would suspect small kernels is lack of water in the growing. Keep up the good work guys! LOL
I'm in 5b. Thank you so much for sharing.
Mornin 😄🌻🙋 hope maverick and goose come home soon 🍀
Have you checked down at the creek? The ducks could have gone there and forgot how to get back. Hopefully, nothing got them. A coyote would have snatched them and moved off so maybe no feathers would be found. I found a bill and feet only when one got one of my ducks.
When you have poo on eggs my grandpa said it was time to deworm the chickens.
The bumblebees would probably appreciate a shallow dish of water with some pebbles under one of the holes in the drip line. Clean water and pebbles to avoid drowning- better than having to get moisture from the dirt.
I like peaches and cream corn, we always get good size kernels from ours, good luck 🙋♀️🙋♀️🌺🌺🌷🌷🌹🌹🌼🌼🌻🌻
