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!

The wind chime we put up on the outdoor kitchen amzn.to/2xGCL8b
Lumnah Acres
Thank you! It's sooooo cute!
Al-how about making a chicken tractor that fits between the raised beds of your garden so the chicken will keep the walkways weed-free for you? That way, Gina doesn't have to weed eat the walkways (Happy wife-happy life)
I think you should add a lead of some sort above the chime to bring it lower, so it is in view from inside the window. It appears to high to me. Enjoy and thanks for the Videos :)
Thanks nice see you all having fun.
great job putting in the window in the goat barn !! breakfast muffin looks incredible !! the wind chime looks even better up !! great work in the garden !! good luck with the potatoes !!
Thank you for showing your garden.
Since I've gone back to work (ah the golden years haha) your videos are great with my coffee-Thanks internet family !!!
I love how this couple work together, thats soo sweet
So the man does all the work, cooks and seems sweet. I need a man like this one :)
Good job on the goat barn Al & Gina. The garden is looking good. You are so blessed to have all that wealth (LAND, ANIMAL)!
I’ve been using this tip for many years. Always effective. I also use crystals on monofilament line.
The gardens coming along great. The wind chime is super cute 🐷
The old time farmers used to always put a cover like a tarp or board over their Carrots until their heads popped up. It keeps the shallow seeds from drying out until they start growing good. I do it too and always have a great crop.
We will have to try that next time. Thanks
Garden is looking really good, love the goat shed. Nice to see Figaro establishing his territory. Should help to keep the mice at bay.
We can't wait until there are goats in that goat barn!
Thanks, we cant either!
beets pop up a few days before carrots if you plant at the same time. its one way you can tell when to do a last weeding if you need to.
Awesome to see that your garden is doing great. I bet Figaro is loving it outside. My garden is doing great. It have done well even with no rain for a month, but yesterday we finally got some. Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden
Hows the green house doing?
Lumnah Acres Its doing great. Next upload will be a tour of the greenhouse and the garden.
If Figaro is going to be an outdoor cat he needs a collar..... Thanks for sharing. ATB : )
Wind chimes work fine long as they make noise. But I have wood pecker problems here and I'm trying to find some way to keep them away. I just say something cause all your nice wood. Have fun, be safe Shannan
Best egg muffin ever!!! Nothing beats home grown!!!!
Nice window on the goat barn.....cool chimes on the outdoor kitchen! TFS another good video!
That wind chime is awesome! If you want air to flow in the goat barn, you need a cross breeze. I’d add a window on the other side too.
Love the new window and the wind-chime. Your garden is going to be awesome this year!.
Thank you AL for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden bye bye 👋 👋 bye 👋 👨👩👧👸👕👓🐩🐈🐖🐕🐐🐔🐓🐥🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
Like reusing the window in the goat barn. Garden is growing nicely. Blossoms on the tomatoes are always good. Looks like mice patrol is working. Spring is a great time of the year.
Looks like you got a Green Works string trimmer. Just got mine this year, nice. Light and easy to use and that is with two canes. I also use a generic strap to help hold it up. Very nice.
We borrowed that one from ginas parents we are trying to figure out which one to get.
I have 40 W because it was cheap ( last year's or the year before's model) 12". Got it on eBay with a blower. I thought the blower was silly until I used it. In 5 to 10 minutes walkways and garden areas were cleared out of cut loose material. Saved me 2-3 hours with a broom and a rake. They make 60 W and 90 W devices lots of stuff including a rototiller and snowblower can replace the string head. I love the mower too. I no longer have the endurance/strength to keep pulling a gas starter string and down here gas goes bad fast. A battery mower gives me control of functionality and borrowers (I'm in duplexes). When I got out of the hospital the neighbors said they would do my lawn if they could use the mower on theirs, only my lawn never got done and the mower got destroyed. You have to shelter the equipment more but the useability out weighs any extra effort.
you could put a riser between the hinges and help with the water collection on the tarp
The garden is looking good.
Morning beautiful family another wonderful morning around the 🏡 homestead can't wait to see the garden in full bloom. Can't wait to eat those strawberries Olivia ha ha ha 🍓till tomorrow same time same place have a wonderful day today all day long everyone morning Mr. Biggs Rufus and Andy. 👋 bye guys hi Gina. 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🐖🐖🐕🐣🐔🐓🐈🍠🍠🍠.
Hey Al. I saw a tip the other day about using pool noodles in the corners of a canopy to keep rain from pooling. I'll bet it would work on your chicken tractor too if you placed one under the tarp.
Dottie Bebris Nice idea but the chicken might try to eat it from underneath through the fencing
Great idea!
Take the unused sed potatoes and plant them in a stump hole out in the field and watch the differences when harvesting them...... try planting squash and pumpkin on the fresh on touch soil .... just remember 40+ years of leaves making top soil and compose .... excellent for a large crop of pumpkin or water melons to make an income to the homestead ....... hope u try something
Another great idea to plant potatoes is in a five gallon bucket that is cut out in different places. Does this method work for you or have you tried it before? I hope you video the chicks I'm curious how much they have grown. Thanks Al I appreciate you buddy. I really appreciate your wife and daughter as well. Figaro and Pluto are having fun in the sun running around chasing chickens. LOL. Maybe not in this video per se but in past I know. I love to watch them. Thank you for your videos.
Love the garden boxes , we did 5 this year, now I wish we had a couple more! Nice wind chimes by the way!👏🏻
Loved the vlog today. Thank you.
slide a 2 x 4 under the blue tarp to create a rise in the chicken tractor for water run off.
OR collect it for the chickens to drink!
Heey AL, you do know you can plant those potatoes closer than that. If you notice with potatoes that they only put out taters about 8" from the plant. So by planting them closer you can get more yield from the same space.
The new window looks great! Figaro the hunter. The pigs must have had a late night...they're apparently party animals!
Greg Kahle they were really pigging out
Breakfast looks yummy!!
Great video, that wind chime just might hit the window if a strong wind comes through.
Watching your video on my laptop with my lap dog. she just went nuts and attacked the laptop when she could hear the chickens. Hilarious.
Hi... Brand new to your channel....lol well about 9 hours ago been binge watching a lot of your videos....i love all your projects and your homestead great family also subbed
I have the same windchime. My sister got it for me for Christmas last year.
I love what y'all are doing. Cool
Gina, I am not sure if you have Hellman's products in New Hampshire but recently bought a quart of Hellman's Mayonnaise and received a free 10 oz. jar of the best ketchup that I have ever tasted. It had no high fructose corn syrup and was so yummy. You might like it also. Wishing you a healthy day.
I really like the pan that you are using to cook your sausage in. Could you please let us know what type of pan that is and maybe where we can find one. Thanks so much. Love your family and your videos.
These are the pans we use amzn.to/2Jekb8L
Wind chime is awesome!!
Olivia was so cute!
Everything is looking good another great video
Don't forget the curtains up at the window :)
I think raised beds look so nice but it's easier for me to do a big garden with marked beds. Than to build beds and fill them with soil. I have strings of twine marking the beds. My chickens prepared my garden for me last summer and fall. It was mostly lawn. All I had to do this year was mark the beds, loosen the soil, move some mulch around and plant. I'm amazed that the ground wasn't very compact either. My chickens will be expanding my garden again this year....after the babies get bigger.
Suggestion for the name of goat house: Milkwaukee😀
Olivia sure is missing out, those "mcmuffins" look awesome!
Mr Figaro checking to be sure no predators are in with the chickens.
Goats are notorious for the escape attempts, you may want to put wire inside of the window.
Nice one again Lumnah's! :)
Looks great!
You used whole potatoes? We cut ours in quarters to plant them. We got A LOT of taters when they came in. The only thing that kept us from having too many was my Dads love of new potatoes. He was picking them young so it kept the quantity down. They sure tasted good. New or not.
I wonder if you put a bell on you feed pail the animals would know you have food and come to you?
Nice window! Wish you could fix it like that in real life 🤣
That sure would be nice! Lol
again with the ketchup on eggs.. shaking my head here lol

Suggestion: Plant in triangles - use intensive planting to be able to grow more food in the same space while still giving your individual plants the space they need.

Gaauud Mawnin Lumnah Acres! Homestead is looking fine in all its late spring glory! A window in the goat barn is an excellent idea so space doesn't feel so confining and you can see the house from the goat barn. Do your chickens all return to New Yolk City at night? I would hate to see foxes and coyotes feasting on those birds, also do you feel they may get 'broody in the brush'? Have a Blessed Day
The chickens all come back to roost at night and they all they there eggs in the nest boxes which is really nice
We had frost last night, up here in Cape Breton & PEI. Hope the wind doesn't drive that can on the bottom of your wind chime through the window . . .
that is a late frost. Do you have a garden planted?
As you know goats are awsome jumpers. You half door though sweat will not keep them from the milk room and that hay.
it is tricky milking a goat for the first few times, because they do no cooperate. Lot's of videos out there on that. Good luck
Shirley Wright I thought the same thing- even a Nigerian Dwarf could jump over that half door!
You'll have to wait until you make goat's cheese to put on your sausage egg muffins ~8^). I like to make them on raisin muffins .... okay .... all this talk about breakfast food is making me hungry! I see you still didn't catch the "Roadrunner" ...... meeep meeeeep! Have a good day Lumnahs ..... take care. I'm enjoying the cool reprieve down here in Pennsyltucky ...... still have a lot of containers/growbags to prepare for tomato transplanting. Today is a good day.
You need a long squeegee to clean the water off that tarp. LOL!
Now is the time to add the Maine compost to the Maine taters, they go hand in hand.
Now you made me want a Bacon Butty. :-) lol
Why are you plucking some branches off the tomatoes? And which one do you pluck off?
we pluck off all suckers and the branches up to the first fruit or flowers
jake huisman You want to keep the leaves and stems up off the ground to prevent fungus.
Or as an everyday habit.
I hope your wind chimes do not blow and crack your window. Weeds into pork chops, how great is that?
OK, wondering how you messed up?
yep your breakfast surely does look better than mcdonalds
No Heinz ketchup!
Oh geez. Can you put these clips in one video. It is pouring down south of you. Get ready. Wowee.
I will take Ms. Olivia's portion of sausage that she doesn't eat. ;)
Wow even for you guys those potatoes are late...
The wood you used to build the goat barn. What is that ? Looks rough cut
Are you throwing down grass seed or letting natural seeding take over?
I'm curious also.
we are going to seed the pasture
thank the Lord for power tools. lol
Your pigs need water,and a mud hole to keep cool,their hot that's why they Sleep all the time,also Pigs don't sweat!
Now you need a key hole manger. on the side of the divider where the feed is located, separate 2 board on the right and 2 on the left the width of the goat neck and fill the space up to the height of their chest with a board. At the height of their head cut a notch in the board on each side to make a space the width of their ears. This allows them to put their head through into the manger but it is inconvenient to pull the head out with a mouth full of hay and drop it on the floor. build a nice manger on the inside of the divider and feeding will be an easy chore. We fastened a chain beside each Key hole to snap the collar to so that it was easy to take one at a time to the milk stand. Do you have plans for the milk stand?
I have been working on a goat milking stand
Do you plan on having Cows ?
What size is your pigs pen? Also can you tell me what kind of pigs I should raise for meat? Love your channel I have learned a lot. I just turned 60yrs and finally got me 2 acres with house and pond. But am not sure about pond if I should keep it. What do you about keeping the snake away. I am afraid of them. Please advise.
Josephine Gallegos Get some guinea fowl. They deter snakes, as is well known in South Asia, their natural home.
John Walsh
Thanks, can you also tell me what kind of pigs I should get and best size pen. Thanks
our pen is 16x16 we raise heritage breed pigs. Ours are mixed breeds. That is what we can find locally
👍 👍
Where do you get the rough sawn lumber?
there is a local mill that mills the lumber. I have a big stack in the yard that was given to us from a friend
Does Figaro come in at night? As long as his dinner and treats are inside he should.
So far Figaro has been coming back in after being out for a few hours
Does Livy have an aversion to eating the pork because you raised it or something?
No Olivia loves pork chops ham bacon and hotdogs! just not a big fan of a big breakfast right now. Going through a phase. Lol
R u going to grow hey ect on ur pasture?
We will plant it to pasture and see how thick the grass comes in
What hatchery do you use to get your chicks
our meat birds are from www.freedomrangerhatchery.com/products.asp
*goat barn name:* Goattle (pronounced Seattle)
What growing zone are you in?
we are in growing zone 4b
Someone has to ask; why wont your daughter eat the sausage? This is at least the second time she won't eat it. lol Goat barn looks great.
Lol, Olivia isn't a breakfast person. Its just a stage
Me either. I thought it might be because she was attached to the pigs.
al how many times did you answer this question.lol
lots i see
I didn’t say anything about instant.
Why doesn't Olivia eat breakfast? This isn't the first video I've noticed that.
I was going to ask the same question.
Rick Mitchell I think she just eats different things like cereal
Cereal not healthy unless it’s oatmeal.
Norine Holland instant flavored oatmeal is almost as unhealthy dry cereal.
In moderation fermented oatmeal (with a bit of an activator such as rye or buckwheat) can be healthy, but as a daily thing it's still a bad idea
She's going through a stage and doesn't care for a big breakfast. she likes her toast
My tomatoes and cucumbers are almost 5 feet tall.
Cut the suckers.
First once again
I do find it humorous that so many people are giving advice about goats jumping over and through things but failed miserably to notice that you are getting dwarf Nigerians. Such a big difference in dwarf than full-sized goats! 🤣 😲 😂 People need to either follow all the videos or keep their opinions to themselves! 😎 Sheesh!🚬 Smoke a cig and relax people! Al's got this covered!!!!
That naughty stinker pot licker of cat wants to taste blood! Figaro is out for the kill, and let us hope it is little mouses. Figaro wants to live in the chick house. You need to get a friend for Figaro!!! The wind chime was a good idea to keep the birds! Work work work work and work more!!!!!🐽🐽🐽🐽🐽🐽🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐤🐤🐤🐤🐓🐓🐓🐓🐔🐔🐔🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐀🐀🐀🐀
My dear fellow, after seeing yet another video of your wife looking as if she is seriously down in the mouth, is she ever happy?
In 90% of the videos she looks like she's either scowling, upset, or seriously pissed off!
In about 10% of the videos I've seen her smile, and laugh once actually, but the rest of the time?
What gives?
Is your little girl a vegan ?
no just not into a big breakfast
Im pretty sure our new tuxedo kitten thinks he is part of our dog pack. My boyfriend found him in the middle of our rural road at 8am. We think he fellout of the underside of a vehicle. Mamas like to hide kittens up in the underside of vehicles to keep them safe. He signaled the beginning of kitten season for the animal rescue i work at. He loves to play with the dogs, eat dog food and dog treats like peanut butter and beef jerkey. He even likes people food. Ive never known a cat that likes people food. He has figured out how to come to the door and meow to be let in if he doesnt come inside when the dogs do. He is a funny guy and we adore him. He killed his first wasp yesterday. I hope he becomes a great pest hunter to keep our homestead safe
Lol, Figaro loves Dog food and people food too!
