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 âFINDING A BETTER WAYâ 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 soâŠ.. 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!

Gina, Im extremely happy for you. And I'm glad that you aren't as camera shy as you've been in the past. You have a Beautiful family and God has really Blessed you all. But in turn we the viewers are Blessed to experience your lives and the wholesome experience of building your farm and growing as a family. Thank you for sharing with us all.
So looking forward to many more years of videos and watching your farm continue to grow and fulfilling your dreams. May God always be your strength and comfort in all that you do.
Best comment Ron, says everything I feel about LA. Thanks!
Iâm in the UK and I love your channel guys. You do not need to justify to anybody whether you are at work or home. Life is too short, enjoy yourselves and keep it up.
If Al got so much done while Gina was at work, imagine how much will be done with Gina on the scene too :D Can't wait for this new chapter on Lumnah Acres :D.
We are excited to see what this next chapter has in store for us all. Including you
I'm so glad that Gina can be at home now full-time! It will be a new era for your channel.
Iâm so happy that you guys can both be home now! What a blessing!!
Gina,you are a wonderful example of how to achieve your dreams.You and Al are a team,50-50!I am happy that you will be able to put your time and energy into your homestead,to be able to not go out to work,but work at your own place.
You are such a sweetheart,I am very glad you have been blessed in this way.
Enjoy everyday that you can work together,you have worked years setting this up,enjoy it!!!:-)
God Bless
Donna
Congrats on being able to come home to work on your homestead dreams together! Excited for you to continue to grow and outgrow your dreams to make new ones. Thanks for letting us join you on your lives, growing your business and your family life.
Yay Gina is home! This is amazing!!!! My mother used to work and eventually stayed home as she had more kids and my dad started working/ earning more.
I will never forget how much more loving and stable my home was, when my mom stayed home. She is the foundation of our family! So I'm happy Gina can do that now for Lumnah Acres!!
I am so excited for you both! What a blessing! I am a stay at home wife and the thing that drives me crazy is when people ask what I do and when I tell them I am a house wife they say "oh... you don't work " đłđłđłđłđł RIGHT!!!! Homestead, homeschool, homemade, homegrown, ......I don't work đđđđ You guys have a great thing going! I hope that in the future my hubby can quit his engineering job and be a homestead hubby!
Family is the most important thing. It's great you get to spend time together. You only have this life on earth. Make the most of it. Love the videos.
So happy for you Gina! Happy to hear you are able to stay home! Al and your daughter will enjoy you being around more. Love watching your family.
Gina, so happy you get to stay home. You are a great wife, mother and helpmate. May God continue to bless your sweet, wonderful family. Love you all.
Aw, congrats to Gina. That's gonna be so fun being able to have her in the videos more (long as she's wantin to be of course); I've really been enjoying the garden and cooking clips she's been doing lately. How awesome that your guys' channel has grown enough that it can support you both being able to be home doing the homesteading stuff :))
I LOVE seeing mother, father and child all working together, getting along and truly enjoying the time spent together. Jobs come and go. Our schedules and priorities change through the years. You are going to enjoy so much this new adventure!
You guy's are delightful to watch, entertaining, and to be quite honest it's very relaxing for us. After a long day at work it's wonderful to come home, eat dinner and watch the dynamics of your family and farm, without much in the way of drama! You post about once a day and that gives us the relaxation and decompression we need. Keep up the excellent work!
Y'all are my number one channel to watch. Your description of your cool mornings are such a blessing and give me hope that we will soon be out of our days of 100 degrees. Weatherperson just informed us that we will have our 40th Central Texas 100+ day today. Average is 15 per year but last two and this one have been over 40. Anyhoo, so glad y'all are able to both be home and work on the homestead together. We retired as early as possible from teaching (52) and enjoy our days of being able to be less frantic in trying to get all planned chores done per day. Also, you will have more time to enjoy the seasons and holidays as you bless us with your channel journal. Your channel should be the number one channels for watching DIY projects that are well planned for time, weather, need and money costs. We actually bought a Dewalt combo pack similar to yours you got a year or so ago. Not sure if I could have convinced my husband if I hadn't had him watch your videos where you revealed it and demonstrated how good they are. I'm still not a saw person, but all the others I've use. I usually tell him I'm going to watch Al, but now It will be the Al and Jeana (Gina ?) Show. Take care, blessings to your family and peace be with you. Joy Giles
My mom is currently battling stage 4 ovarian cancer. Everyday at 3:30 after I'm done work I drive to my moms and we watch your channel. Knowing the time I have with my mom is short, i wish I could be home FT. I am not bashing you in anyway, we love your content. Just amazing that you guys can take advantage of all the time in the world you can together and spend it as a family is a blessing and from me and my mother we wish nothing but the best.
I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. We lost ours 3 yrs ago to Pancreatic cancer and it feels like yesterday but thankfully the stabbing pain of losing her has lessened.
Moms are the best.
Great job on the retaining wall! Everything you build looks so great and neat! Welcome home Gina! I know you must have been doing things behind the scenes, and Al wears many hats. I know heâs very happy to have you home. Canât imagine how many things need to get done just before the snow starts falling. Your homestead is beautiful! God Bless you all đđ»đ
Welcome home Gina! Al, Gina is going to need some more overalls. Maybe do a Ginaâs Craft segment for the bonus clip. So happy for you guys!
Three Rivers Roots I agree! I loved seeing Gina sew and use the Cricket machine. That would be a great segmentđ
I also thought about some videos of Gina's craft projects
Welcome home Gina. Girl wear some gloves. Those drills give you blisters using them every day. The CWC memorial items are a nice touch. Figaro should write his own book "Construction Cat" lol.
I really like your idea of "Construction Cat". Write a children's book Gina. It would be fantastic.
Gina I hope I haven't started something stressful... I just pictured Figaro going around the farm thinking 'My goodness, what is Al up to now?!'
@@genevievegreene1595 hahahha!!!!!!
I would totally buy a t-shirt with a cartoon Figaro wearing a hard hat, carrying a clipboard. Caption: "Inspector Figaro"
Gina & Al your being able to stay home together to raise you lovely daughter while continuing to create a more beautiful, productive farm is a dream come true. It is inspiring for us to go along on your journey. Sharing with us to see all your hard work cooking, baking, building, humane animal care and what it takes to make successful videos is awesome!
Ginaâs smile brightens the room with more light than ever! You can see her joy when she talks of what sheâd like to do and contribute. Sending huge hugs and best wishes to you both that your dreams are fulfilled. You have a great partnership and youâre so supportive of each other, lovely to watch. Sheâs beautiful Al, youâre one lucky man Catherine from Canada đšđŠ
Gina, you will love the âless stressâ in life. Enjoy life and go at a slower pace so you have time to smell the roses ( or maybe the goats đ) đ
YAY for Gina! I've loved seeing her more and love that she looks so happy all the time now.
Gina, I've been enjoying watching you work alongside Al with the build. You're a great role model for Olivia as you share all the farm chores. I did much of the maintenance work as our kids were growing up and my girls are very confident and competent about tackling projects in their homes. Congrats on being able to leave your day job & I look forward to watching this next chapter for you!
Your video is the first one I watch every morning and then canât wait to wake up the next day for the next one itâs been a real pleasure seeing Gina in the videos lately and watching yâall work as a team and Iâm sure Al has appreciated the extra help God Bless you guys and keep up the good work
Being a full time homemaker and mom is a job in it's self do what makes you happy.
Being a full time Mom is the hardest job one can do. In fact there are full time Dad's too. I believe God wanted women to stay at home and raise the children while the husband worked. I understand it isn't always possible but we have to make the best decisions for our family we can make.
I love drinking my morning coffee while watching what's going on your farm. Thank you so much!
Yâall are my favorite Homesteaders. Enjoy all your videos . You are a Sweet Family
You guys work hard and deserve to be on the homestead full-time. I am really happy for you guys.
That is awesome a memory plate on the coop for CWC and you guys rock on your life decisions you work on together
This news warms my heart!!! Lumnah Acres is one of my favorite channels. I am both nervous for you and excited.
Goats milk soap, Al's hand made wooden spoons. Any of your merch. Can earn $ to support the family.
Set your goals and move toward them.
âźđ
I'm so happy for all of you that you can work your homestead together full time! I recently retired & my husband & I are working on a lot of projects together too. Still working on finding our center in the new dynamic but we will! Loved watching the woodshed / garage build looking forward to your future projects and everyday videos. Keep up the great work đ Love the CWC plate for New Yolk City! đđ
I can't remember when I started watching your channel, but I hav always really liked it. God is exceeding good to make way form Gina to finally become full time. God bless you both.
Yea Gina! Congratulations, Iâm happy for you. I really enjoy watching you cooking toođ
This is great news! So happy for Gina, and excited to hear there will be more videos and more of Gina in the videos. She is my favorite homestead gal! Good luck on this new journey!
Al and Gina, you're wonderful parents and watching your channel has been such a joy. The merchandise looks awesome and I look forward to seeing Gina get in on the action. The CWC tribute is a nice touch... the journey is so exciting on Lumnah Acres. There's no need for Netflix, the homestead has all the action we need. So many blessings, big and small.
I really enjoy watching you all working together on the wood shed...
Goat's milk soap!! Yehaw, can't wait I'm ordering some! Love the new merch, and Gina Congratulations, on being home. The new barn and car port is looking Great!!
WOW, that looked uncomfortable for Gina. Whatever the reason she is home more is really none of our business but we are glad to see her more.
Peace and love Lumnah Acres!
CWC for the win!!!
Sure did. Left me feeling like there's way more to the story than meets the eye. We could only wish it was human baby news but doesn't seem like it.
I agree. What ever the reason Gina it's nice to see you more hon..god bless.
@Richard Thomas Good point but this felt different.
Sheâs camera shy and nervous about what some will say.
I can tell ya from personal experience! When I went full time stay at home dad, I was worried what people would say and felt nervous like I had to justify mine and my wifeâs decision! Itâs a very big leap of faith to leave one successful career to be mor integral part of everyday family life! Its also very hard and stressful learning a new routine!
I havent been watching that long but when I found this youtube channel I was in Love. I so appreciate you Al and Gina for allowing us to watch. I Love all the videos you do with your homestead, animals, building and cooking. When you dont put up the video I get so sad. I cant wait to continue this journey with you and your whole family. Thank you!
Yes Gina gets to stay home.What a blessing.I am retired but oh how I remember coming home from work,cooking for 7 of us,my husband and I have 5 kids,well they were kids then,anyway.There were never enough hours in the day.So to be able to stay home now will be great for you all.God bless you all.Your progressing everyday.
Congratulations, you are true partners and I can feel the love.
Yes, the love between each other and with Oliva, love the interaction between all three of you. I wish your family only the best as you continue to move forward.
Gina you ROCK. You are the perfect example of: Man is not complete without a good WOMAN.
Thereâs nothing like a good foundation - applies to life as well as the garage on the end of the wood store! Itâs lovely that Gina is now able to spend more time at the homestead, she is such a great help and asset to you Al. May God richly bless you and your family.
Yâall are cute and work well together! I love watching the projects. đâ€ïžđŸ
That's awesome! So happy for you Gena!
Oh, Gina, this is the best news...so happy for you. No more stress of having to deal with outfits for work or setting up appointments or driving through the snow covered roads to get to work and then back home. You now get to enjoy your home everyday, all day. And you get all the animal love morning, noon, and night time. Youâre retired but in excellent health and youth, the best of both worlds. You are all going to enjoy this new life so much as there is nothing better than having mom home all the time. Youâll be outside working and enjoying those wonderful colors of fall, the geese flying south, the Indian summers......I could go on and on but I know from the smile on your face you are over the moon happy and so is Al and Olivia and all the animals. Canât wait for what is next. Bessings to you all.
Bravo Gina happy to see you in the videos. I can only imagine how happy your daughter is to have both of you home.
Congratulations Gina! Well deserved.
I love Gina's voice when she talks to the animals.
Yay Gina, good for you. You will enjoy being at home and being able to help out on your homestead and Olivia and Al will enjoy having you there too. Congratulations!
C Kennedy III maybe, or they will get annoyed with each other spending so much time together. Life is life, not always rosy and smiles like all you guys on here want to believe
Getting to have both of you full time on the farm is Awesome news for you! What a wonderful opportunity for the whole family going forward!
Awe Al and Gina, that is Awesome and how fun to be with Olivia too. May God continue blessing you both.
I like Gina and am happy to see her on the channel more đ
Look forward to all the awesome 'Gina on the homestead' content!
Maybe some of those bonus videos could be a weekly 'GinaCam' showing behind the scenes at Lumnah Acres footage.
A weekly homestead recipe episode would be fun too.
Gonna be great having you able to be more involved.
You say you are blessed to be able to be home. But the truth is we are blessed having more time with you and your family. Thank you!!
I can really feel the urgency of Winter weather on this project.
And Ginaâs happiness at being able to put all her energies into her family and the homestead .
Al, I think you should have some horizontal elements extending into the soil beside the wall to resist the pressure of the soil against the wall. Another idea I had is to basically lay a stone retaining wall beside the wood one if you could somehow find some stones. I hope there is someone more knowledgeable that can comment.
I'm so happy for you all to get to this point. I love your videos. Your family is genuine. Keep working hard & congrats.
Gina this is great you get to stay home. You can help Al all the time now, when he needs it. You work well together. I'm so excited for you. God Bless.
I loved being a full time mom when my kids were young, I volunteered down at the school one day of the week, grocery shopped when it empty, took an exercise class, got all the housework & laundry done and got a early jump on dinner. I always say i worked just as hard as a housewife as I did at a job. I never enjoyed cooking until I was home full time either. It much more enjoyable. Welcome home!
I look forward to watching your videos every morning when I wake up. And the days you don't post I'm sad
I would have stapled a tyvec sheet to the bottom of the beams before backfilling to keep the water way from the 4x4 beams
Congrats Gina for attaining one of you and Al's goals. Nice for you to be able on the homestead full time and enjoy your family and hope.
I think its very cool that the both of you are able to spend more time building and just doing things together, the power of family is very strong with you 3. Love it!
So happy that Gina gets to stay home now. The channel is growing nicely, and y'all are still the great people you've always been. I've seen some that forget why they started after their channel growing. Much love from Matewn,WV. Keep fighting the good fight.
We will always stay true to ourselves and keep investing in the farm. We have big dreams for the farm and we canât wait to bring you along with us.
Hope everyone enjoyed the holiday . Time for school again Olivia. Time to fill the woodshed full, another long hard winter is approaching.
Congratulations Gina! It is a real blessing you both can stay home now. God is good, and you get to enjoy the homesteading life. I am very happy for the whole family. Al will appreciate that you are there as well! It is nice that you can do things together.
You guys are great been watching for a long time, we started CZcams and our farm because of you guys. Though we are much older than you we love watching you guys along the way, your on your way, keep doing what your doing!!!!! God Bless you both!!!đđđđ
Great triple, dad, mum and daughter. WORK AND LEARN SO WELL AS A FAMILY.
Gina smiled much more in this video AND we got to hear her laughter too!đ đ âșïž đ đ WOW!. From Patricia in N.H. (Lakes Region) đ”đ» đ đ€
Congrats Gina !!! What a dream to be able to be home with family at your age and be such a huge part of the homestead experience !!! Looking forward to watching the family and homestead continue to grow.
So happy Gina is able to be home and enjoy the homestead more with you. Love Figero and watching his antics. Al & Gina love watching you on the builds. Canât wait to see what is next. Will you be finishing the barn? Are you going to do rainwater catchment on the barn for the goats? â€ïž From Nevada where it is still 100 degrees.
Congrats I always Enjoy watching you both work on projects :) Im very happy for Gina and u spend more time with your wife :) God Bless you Both
I must say that I have loved having Gina on more. Keep up the good work! I find that I cant wait to watch your videos!!
So happy for you Gina. To get to be at home with your family. And to have more time to help out on the homestead. God bless you all.
So glad that both of you are able to be at home together. I retired at age 49 after working at the same place for 33 years. After retiring I built a new house and now I am building a shop while keeping up with 14 acres. We are looking forward to my wife retiring shortly after I get the shop finished so we can spend quality time with each other. Enjoy your family time together.
I'm so glad you're able to be at home Gina! I know how that was a goal of yours and I'm happy that it became a reality. :)
You need a foot switch for that vacuum pump.
I was thinking that to. A winter project - along with the rest of the barn electric plugs and lighting ( remember GFIs or better yet use GFI breakers because everything is ground contact ) Install a dedicated receptacle for the vacuum pump and shelf. [ Al did you see the milker on Weedem and Reap a week or so ago? that's a BIG goat ] Great to see more of Gina. Take care all
Congratulations Gina!! For the first time in years, you don't have to head out on roads in snow and ice bright and early!! It is very nice seeing you in the videos and I know Al is excited for the extra hands and help! đđč
great Gina that you will be able to stay home now, with both of you now working the homestead full time, it will take pressure off of each of you, and allow for more family time. I am sure once you start making goat milk soap you will enjoy it and come up with some creative soaps. I love how Figaro is always popping up to check on his people. Love that a viewer sent you a licensed plate for CWC memorial. Blessings!
Yay for change! Just in time for winter, you'll have plenty of hands to get prepared. đ
I'm so happy for you both. I always hoped the channel would build up to be able to support this decision.
Yeah! Team Lumnah!
Good news. Look forward to seeing Gina involved in helping Al. It is such a joy to see you two together.
We are so happy for you both. There is nothing like being your own boss and providing for you family from your own homestead. I find I work harder now then I ever did for anyone else except now my family reaps all the benefits and not some company. Also our son always has me home for his needs. Blessings.
Great to see Ginaâs video presence growing. Thereâs all sorts of exciting projects in the offing then?
I Like the sound of the soap making.
Just think next years veg garden could be double the size and growing your own healthy produce. Nothing tastes quite as good as something you raised or made yourself.
You two make a great team congrats on getting your farm to the point that allows
Oh Gina, I'm so happy for you! It will make such a difference in all of your lives. You won't have to miss things going on, on the homestead. Congratulations to the whole family!
I am very happy for your family! Being able to stay home together, pursuing your families vision, is a true blessing! I love your content and look forward to what is to come in the future.
cool we get to see more of gina, love her smile.
Yay! Ginaâs home!!!! Congratulations! Even though itâs still work - it just seems better when your able to do it with family & for the homestead! đđ»đđ»đđ»
Thats great news to see Gina more and to see the expansion of the channel.
Congrats Lumnah family. Best gift ever to spend more time together and using your creativity and skills! đ
One very noticeable aspect in recent days (since nephews' visit and the woodshed project) -- Gina appears more relaxed, happier... and it's good to see. i really anticipate your vlogs every day... thanks to you three and your beautiful farm. You demonstrate an awesome work ethic.
Good morning đ
Break time!đ
You need a vacuum pressure switch to maintain the vacuum at a set level, will make milking easier and more comfortably for Willow.
It seems like Willow is uncomfortable with the pressurized milking. But I know nothing about it.
I am happy to see Gina in the videos! And she is a huge help in building! A true partnership.
How wonderful for you both to be able to homestead full time together. It's been great seeing Gina in the recent videos and I look forward to seeing you both continue your journey. Good luck and keep up the excellent content.
