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!

Morning
Good morning Lumnah’s & critters… I always look forward to when I can catch your videos in the morning… I don’t always get to see them when they first come out. Have a wonderfully blessed day y’all!!
Good morning
Good Morning Everybody From The Algarve Portugal.
Morning Tony
Afternoon to you Anton.
@Tony Grimes how is things going , this side we are busy. Had a good onion harvest
@AJL Produce Namibia Left Ireland a week ago to spend the winter in Algarve Portugal. 10 C & raining at home in Enniskillen, 20 C & sunny here in Albufeira. We would be lucky to get 20 C in our summer in Ireland.
@Tony Grimes that almost sounds like our winter temps here as well. I have been looking at vlogs about Portugal and it looks like a real nice place, one day we will have to go and check it out
Chickens here are not fussy, but i pick what they get (influences what the eggs taste like). Put a compostheap in where the chickens are and feed the kitchenscraps there, what they don’t eat turns into compost and tasty bugs for the chickens.
That’s just what I do! Regards Stephen.
And a fresh supply of fishing worms as well. Win-win.
You should let your eggshells dry out and crush them so the chickens don’t get used to pecking egg shaped objects because they can end up eating eggs
If an egg is broken he already tosses it on the ground and lets the chickens eat it. It’s normal for chickens to dispose of the eggs that are broken so they don’t attract predators. I don’t think they will start deliberately cracking and eating their own good eggs.
I don’t have lifestock, but save eggshells to put into plants for calcium.
When I had chickens we had several that started eating their eggs, there was nothing I could do to break them of the habit once they started, they were very nice soup, then I started crushing the shells and never had another eat their eggs.
You may already have a egg eater your broken eggs in the nest box there shells are gone and the inside mostly eat
@jim putnam I keep my eggs shell in a flat box lined with parchment paper and when its full I bake them in the oven at 200 for 1 hr. Then its easier to crush to add to the garden.
Woohoo…I always say eleven when you ask how many eggs.. Happy farming..
Figaro the farm boss! 😺
He knows it too! He doesn’t have a job but he tries to be in the middle of the happenings.
It’s nice to see him taking his job seriously and testing the goat and chicken grain finally 😉😛😁😁😁
@Naomi Beery Oh he has a job… If Figaro wasn’t there to supervise who knows what could go wrong 😉😁
Good morning!! I’m was wondering how are your honey and bumble bees are doing with this cooler weather?
Buźzzzingly
@Paul Bax No, some people feed their bees in the winter.
@Am. Blades Al has already started to feed his bees 🙂
Good morning Lumnah family love he’s a character he’s the boss he’s allowed to taste test 😂😂 love from the UK
He really does run the roost!
Figerooo is sure a crazy cat!🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡👽👽👽👽👽👽🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁👾👾👾👾👾👾☠☠☠☠☠🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄💜💜💜💜💜💜🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊👽👽👽👽👽👽🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🍨🍨🍨🍨
He lets us know when he likes it or not. 😆
How about bringing the rest of your lumber inside your shed so it’s dry
Maybe once he gets the gravel in there.
He should have put a loft door on the new shed or put an opening inside the shed.
@Chris 3M I pointed that out, to the point I thought he might ban me. So much wasted space. Alivea I know I spelled it wrong. But She could have a hide out up there and be able to leave the door open. I think he could still do it. There is enough room for the door on the end. I was thinking small double doors? Or put the door on the inside some how.???
Those goats come a running for Olivia!! That soup looked amazing, too.
That’s the first cat I ever seen eat alfalfa! 😂
cat believes it is a goat
Figaro is a one of a kind.
Figaro should be a bit worried because Al might be caught measuring/weighing him wondering what he might taste like after all he’s been raised on feed grain and he’s nice n plump finally..
Not much bacon on a cat.
Cat’s not really too bad; awfully stringy and full of gristle, but it’s OK.
@Colonel Raymond Keller rather eat herbivores
I am surprised you feed whole egg shell to your birds, this can lead to them eating their eggs in the coop. We keep them, then sick them in the oven to bake them, finally we crush them and put it back in their feed, this way they don’t get the smell and sight of whole eggs as food.
He has been doing it for years. Its an old wives tale about them eating their eggs.
Again, he has been doing this for years. It is an old wives tale.
@Whiskey61 how many chickens have you got?
@Julie Beckingham Not sure what that matters? I have read people in the comments for about 2 years telling Al that feeding the chickens eggs will make them start eating eggs. Yet 2 years on and it still hasn’t happened. And still people warn him like they are the first ones to mention it when they are actually the 50th.
@Julie Beckingham It’s and old wive’s tale and I raised hundreds across my years.
We’ve fed whole egg shells to our chickens for 20 years and have never had a single chicken eat any eggs.
This question is for Gina! How has life changed for since becoming a full-time country homesteading wife? I guess what I mean is how has life changed for you since quitting your public job and coming home to the homestead?
Yes, my chickens are so fussy when it comes to scraps.
Hey Al, so why not bag up and freeze all the food scraps. You will get more pigs in a few months anyway. Feed it to them then. Just a suggestion.
I just love seeing you every week.
I would love to see you get that deck built that you mentioned last year. You and the family could sit and look out over your property and see the progress you’ve made , and Gods beautiful creation spread out before you.
Yes, I love my deck. But a pond would be nice for them,too. It would water the stock, and be pretty to look at. Maybe Olivia could ice skate there.
My chickens eat basically everything except potato skin.😆
Hello! This isn’t related to this video, but I just wanted to say thank you for posting. When my grandfather was sick and weeks away from passing we’d spend time together watching your videos. He didn’t really have God in mind before passing but when he’d watch you pray at meals, I think that really nudged at his heart. Thank you friends, all love & blessings from 🇨🇦
LOL. Does Figaro even like cat kibble? He has his own ideas of a good meal.
