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!

Things are looking very good on the homestead. It's crazy how well the hay bale, pig pen gardens are doing, and all those volunteer tomatoes. I like your idea of transplanting some, they look like the could very easily be thinned out. Leaving the strongest ones growing in the shade, great idea to develop a low light tomato crop. Interesting that you commented on the loam, and some crops not doing so well. It is pretty dense, no humus or nutrients to speak of, although the tomatoes, and corn are doing pretty well. Onions from seed are a 3 year crop, from sets a 2 year crop. It takes that long to develop good sized bulbs. The greens are tasty though, and can be used in cooking, salads, canning, pickling... Speaking of greens I started to drool just a little when I saw your beets. I love beet greens, heck I love lots of different greens, mustard, collards, turnip, not all are good in salads, but are easily wilted, sauteed and eaten as a side. Having lived in Mexico for 4 years, rice, beans, and greens were a daily staple along with a main dish.
I'm curious about the winter chicken coop. I know Joel's deep litter barn has access from one side to harvest the bedding to use elsewhere in his gardens. It looks like the back end of yours is designed to be opened for this. That deep litter would be a great blend material for some of that loam of yours. Just passing thoughts...
Another great update, you had a much nicer day than I. I'm in the process of prepping and painting my house. I mean it's nice to upgrade the outside of your property, but you can't make a fine meal out of it. lol
Thanks. Yes we kept the back side of the green house open so we can easily get in there and clean it out. I cant wait to get it composted and added to the loam! You cant eat it but I bet the house will look Awesome once finished!
You should approach a nursery to barter pasture raised meats for trees blueberries ect. Great place to put up a yardsign. Start taking thanksgiving bird orders if you have the grass to pasture.
Thanks! Great ideas as always
Lumnah Acres find out when they do big events..Set up a sampling/ whole chicken to go booth at there sale events. Smoke onsite.. Egg samples and a few baby chics, ducks.
The nursery runs a loyalty program. Buy 500.00 before (date) and pick up your free turkey on November 20-23. Build and sell the hog panel tractor greenhouses auto gardening system with birds delivered. Set up a demo at the nursery on there yard. You teach how to on birds and soil..they supply plants, straw and tractors. Muscovy ducks don't quack.
Al I have a story to tell you about eating beets, I have always loved to eat beets, that being said when I was a young boy I had eaten beets for dinner and as you say if you eat enough your urine will turn red, well as a young boy I did not know that would happen and when I urinated later that evening I noticed the red color in the toilet bowl. I told my mother that I was peeing blood and when she saw it she woke my father up and made him drive us to the ER, well after several hours and lots of tests, the doctor came in to my hospital room and asked "Did you have beets for dinner?" when my father heard that he about had a heart attack because he had spent half the night in the hospital and had to pay for an emergency room visit and all the testing to find out I had eaten lots of beets for dinner, oh and not to mention my father was a log truck driver and that meant he had to get up before the sun was up, and here he spent his precious sleeping time with myself and my mother in an emergency room. He was glad later that there was nothing serious wrong with me but that was beside the point. Take care and enjoy those beets when harvest time comes.
Great story thanks for sharing. When you left the ER then your dad had to got to work then?
Yes and he was not happy about that...
I love the milk jug water I've been doing that for my chicky babies the past week and it's working perfectly
I felt so happy to see my first cherry tomato this summer.... I have other larger tomatoes growing, keeping my fingers crossed. I only have only one zucchini plant in a pot with just one zucchini growing, now I want a whole garden full. My squash plants are in a raised garden, only a couple are growing..... I can't wait for next year and have a much bigger garden! Love your joy in all your vegetables and animals, very contagious!! I don't know where you get your energy. That is a great new electric fence.....love all the little chicks....Thanks for making me a beginning Wannabe Modernsteader!
That is great about your cherry tomato! it is crazy how something so little can get us so excited! :) I cant wait to hear about your garden next year! That is very humbling! But I am glad you are a beginner Modern Steader!
What a fun lively garden update Alcid you are hilarious....The tomatoes....squash....corn... onions are definitely blooming....The chicks and pigs are growing....as well as the new pullets it's very good all round diy farming effort!
Thanks! Lol. We are very happy with the garden too! Cant wait until we are eating from it!
Love all the comments you're getting. Keep responding as much as you can. You're assume for doing that.
Thanks! We enjoy interacting with all the Modern Steaders!
I have done that, (peeing red from beets). I remember when my sister in law was starting my niece on solid foods, she didn't like anything but carrots, well, that is all she fed her. After about a week my niece turned orange!! It was the greatest thing! This was well before smart phones and no-one got a picture of her, but it was great!
That is a great story! I would have never thought that! Thanks for sharing
Al your upbeat attitude is really refreshing and surpassed only by your work ethic (and Gina and Olivia's smiling faces lol). Thanks for sharing every day!
Thanks! Yes there smiling faces make it worth it!
The award for most enthusiastic farmer goes to Lumnah Acres' Al! Such a pleasure to see your joy!
Thanks! I really enjoy this stuff!
Brilliant update! The garden's looking good and I thought I saw a small pepper? You've so many types of squash! I wonder if the _stun_ or bale method will work best? Glad to see Blackie looking well. Loved the volunteer tomatoes from the pigs. Other folk have _beef tomatoes_ but you've got _"Lumnah Acres' Pork Tomatoes"_ - straight from the pig to you!
Thanks! I will have to go and see if I can find a small pepper, hold on a minute. You are right! Thanks, Gina will be thrilled too! Yes it will be fun to see whats better the bales or the STUN! I like them both.Love it Lumnah acres POrk Tomatoes! Thanks
Hay you guys at Lumnah Acres !! Great update and plot tour of your homestead it is looking fantastic !! The pigs are looking so happy and healthy !! Your garden and growing spaces are thriving with lush, green, strong and healthy looking plants and New York is looking awesome in it's new surroundings !! Thanks for sharing
Thank you! We are glad you are enjoying the videos! what area are you from?
We collect them daily and our Rhodes and Silkies love those Japanese Beatles!
I bet the chickens do! Free Protein
Lol, every time I start a new vid of yours, I holler "What's UP modern steaders!"
That is AWESOME! :)
Great friday update as always. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thanks, you too!
Looking good! We just picked some sweet corn from our garden this evening, Can't wait to try it!
That is AWESOME! Sweet corn! Let us know how it was, what state do you live in?
Hey, Sorry this has taken a few days, We left for vacation right after I sent this comment. We actually took some of the veggies with us to my son's house in northern Ohio. We live in Southern Ohio.. The corn was good, but I was a little dissapointed because it wasn't as sweet as I remember. We bought "Peaches & Cream" seeds and it seems to me they had a slightly sweeter flavor than what this batch had. I may go back to "Silver Queen" next year.
I don't know how much time you got left in your growing season out there. But look into planting sunflowers where NEW YOLK CITY was.
Best thing to grow for your chickens to eat.
The Cynic thanks! I don't think we have enough time to grow on this season but we can always plant them in that area for next year
Lumnah Acres 70-100 days
Hubby " OMG we have to go to the hospital right now Im peeing an pooping blood!!" bahahah! I remembered the beets. one time I doodied and it was like kool aid purple
Katrina Sibley 😂 its so true.
Sauteed beet greens are soooo good
Yes they are! Have you sauteed baby beets with onions and beet greens? So good!
Pigs, like people, pass tomato seeds able to germinate. A friend got a load of treated sludge from a sewage plant to fertilize his lawn, In the spring there were millions of tomato plants in his yard.
Greg Kifer that is too funny. We does he live that he was able to get sludge from a sewage plant
We live in Kansas City area. Every now and then they clean out the treated sludge and make it available. You want to avoid the high summer unless you're composting it or you'll get lots of tomatoes.
Thank you for sharing. I love your excitement.
Thanks! Excitement is contagious! :)
It truly is. I wish you all could see the little garden I was inspired to make after I started watching you and a few other homesteaders. You all Rock!
Pigs like to nest. The briars are a lovely, cool place for them to sleep (though not safe). And I would feed those Japanese beetles to the chickens.
Might be good to collect those beetles and give them to the chickens. A crunchy snack.
I was thinking that too! I bet the chickens would love them!
I'm told that especially in the mornings they fall instead of flying off when you tap the leaves. I wouldn't know from experience, I'm a night owl.
Lumnah Acres I am trying to do what you are doing and I am starting to look for a new place to live. Could you tell me approximately how many chickens can you raise per acre of pasture. Or just how many acres of land you are pasturing them on now?
Lumnah Acres or do you have a clip on your channel were you talk about that topic? That way you get the view! :)
Travis Norseman I will talk about it in an upcoming video. Thanks for the idea 💡
You all are my favorite! Such an inspiration
Thanks! Whats your favorite thing about the channel?
I love the fact that you try to stay positive about any situation. I also like when you do things as a family! Thanks for sharing your lifestyle with us.
Thanks! We really appreciate the feed back!
I know I'm a little behind on videos but are you going to show all the different ways to store all your vegetables when you harvest them. Like howto can them, dehydrated them and freeze them. My family is really interested to see what y'all do.
👍🏻👍🏻 long one today, thanks. your kombucha looked amazing.
Thanks! The Kombucha taste amazing! Love the Bluberry
You need to play "come in like a wrecking ball" when you move the chickens
Lol! I should thanks!
I love watching your videos! they inspire me to probably do something similar....If I can get the wife onboard :)
We live near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Thanks for all your videos
Another great update Al. Missed Gina & Olivia in this one, give em' all hugs from the 'Modern Homesteader Steadies' (meaning all of your subscribers). What is your plan for that ol' steel tank? Have a blessed weekend.
Thanks! I will. What old steel tank? You too!
That vertical tank on legs, it looks like an old compressor tank.
That one! Lol. It is an old air compressor tank that I made into a smoker/ oven. I will have to show it sometime.
Whahhaha your so darn fun when your hyper and exited about food and poop and pee I just laughed so hard my side started hurting... congrats with the renegade tomatoes. Badabing bandaboom free food.
Kind regards rose
What not to get excited about with food poop and pee! :)
Lumnah Acres - Who needs cable tv?
Loving this channel!
Just a matter of time until your able to play Frisbee with the pigs. I would be interesting to see if they could actually play fetch.
James NYC that's right you don't need cable. 😂 I will have to try playing frisbee with thenm. Do you live in NYC?
Yup. Live in the East Village, St.Marks Place Near Tompkins Square Park.
Growing tomatoes on the window ledge, and 6 storage containers growing greens inside under LED's
Longing for the day I can move to something greener
That is awesome! That you are growing where you are at! What area do you want to move too?
Been looking at upstate NY., Adirondacks area. But anything east coast, with lots of land with trees and body of water on the property. A tall order I know. But probably can't do much until my daughter finishes up at the London School of Economics; and graduates from Clark University. Priorities.
Gardening is my passion love it even pulling weeds
There is nothing wrong with that! I am glad you found your passion!
That Rufus s a beautiful bird!
Carrie B. Thanks. He is Olivia's favorite
It seems that a few ducklings were lost. Did you try adding some brewer's yeast to the feed and giving them some shredded greens? That will help them get the vitamins and minerals they need.
Those three Icelandic hens should serve you as broody hens. Hopefully they will go broody next spring.
Thanks for the Friday update.
Thanks! I hope the Icelandics go broody next spring!
because of where I live I need to do garden in front of my building (north facing) which only gets direct sun until about 11am and I have 8 tomato plants they are very slow growing but are producing food
Thanks. That is good to know
Things are looking great 👍🏼
Thanks! Your veggies are looking good!
Thanks Al
It's funny, i got some tomato plants coming up from compost too and they are doing better than the greenhouse starts that I planted. lol
Renegade plants always do better! Its amazing!
Those hay bail plants are amazing. tyfs Pat
Thanks! It is amazing what a little organic chicken poo can do! :)
Do you know the three sisters of the First Nations people? Corn with climbing beans at the base of the corn, squash between the corn rows to shade the beans and corn. This is the ancient way of the three sisters which has fed their people for thousands of years.
Al
yours so funny
Great video
Linda from Ct
Hey Al, do you have a video where you installed the hay in your winter chicken coup? How many rows and how high of bales did you put inside? And how much warmer does it increase?
We do have some videos on that! I didn't have a thermometer last year.I need to get one for this year. The birds were plenty warm enough and they laid eggs all winter
We used to grow tomatoes in our yard (Anaheim Ca) and would get ugly tomato worms on them. ...yuck.
Hey, nice garden, what are the bush beans you are growing with the purple flowers? What beans did you use to grow up the corn?
THANKS!!
The pole beans are old homestead and serbain. The purple ones are from baker creek heirloom seed company. They are our favorite
New YOKE City ... I finally got it!
figured you would have moved that pig pen by now LOL. just to let water get to it so the compost will break down
I need to get the compost out yes. Just haven't had the time yet! Hopefully in the next few days!
Id leave the compost where it is just move the pen. Just so the rain can get to it .then you can use the loader bucket to scrape it up at your leisure. Even on top or around the hay bail garden. Unbelievable garden amendments right there!
I have tomato plants everywhere "Thank you chickens!" I wouldn't dig them up and move them. buy seeds and plant new ones in there now. Can you put the three ducklings in with the baby chicks ?
Thanks! Yes we will have the ducklings with the chicks in the chicken tractor soon!
About your squash plants.....did you know you can pick your male flowers, stuff them and eat more free food.
I didn't until this year! Learning so much from great Modern Steaders like you! Thanks
Rotfl, love the running of the pigs, lol.
Thanks! It makes me smile too!
Great garden
Thnanks! We cant wait till we get to start eating from it! Do you garden?
Thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden bye 👋 bye 👋 AL👨👩👧👸👕👓🐩🐔🐓🐥🐈🐖🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
You Rock!!!!
Thanks! Great Name!
Al, so you know the local Chef's and restaurants in your area? They are fanatics about fresh produce.
I should get to know some! I don't know any of them myself
Lumnah Acres What I've seen Chef's do is come out to the farm and look over the produce and livestock and make offers. They also like to suggest hard to come by things they like that you could produce for them........varieties of mushrooms ( valuable and easy to grow), lamb, herbs, whatever....just a thought. It looks like your going to have so much a pick it yourself organic vegetable business . I'm sure there's lots of regulations though.
i swear i seen a pepper go back and look..
Tj Miller you did! Another subscriber already said that and I went out and locked there is one there thanks
pee'd on em lolololol ikr -- perfect fertilizer
It sure is! :)
I just picked up some pullets should I put them on pashtor
Farmerwrights Backyard if they are already feathered out yes put them on pasture. How old are they?
