Hey ya’ll, I’m Jess from Roots & Refuge Farm

Welcome to a place that feels like home. A small farm with a big family. We hope you’ll pull up a chair, grab some coffee and visit awhile.

There was a time that all I wanted in the world was a little farm where I could raise my family and grow our food. Now, that is exactly what exists outside my door. In watching it unfold, a new dream was formed in my heart – to share this beautiful life with others and teach them the lessons we’ve learned along the way. Welcome to our journey, friend. I am so glad you’re here.

  1. This past week has been ahem…CHILLY to say the least up here in Northern Alberta – -44 PLUs windchill making it feel like -52 ! Stay warm everyone!

  2. Wishing u all well & safe over Xmas. Happy Christmas & great new 2013. Oh you have very freezing weather we complain is it’s b/2 to 5c. Hate this weather & it’s nothing comparing to US

  3. I was at Lowes yesterday in Forney, TX and it was 11 degrees. I get to the customer service desk and the young man behind the counter was in a tshirt and cargo shorts. I so hoped he had long pants to wear when he went home.

  4. It’s been below zero in Illinois the last couple of days. Today it’s up to a balmy 18 degrees! Wind chill is -35 though! The wind here is a beast! I really thought those cold hardy veggies would be ok in the high tunnel. Merry Christmas! Jesus is born! Stay warm. ( we need a picture of you all in your fancy dinner)

  5. Could you have put an extra layer of plastic over the plants in the high tunnel to get it through the extra cold night?

  6. Blessings to you all from foggy cold Sacramento , may You all have your prayers answered and your days be sunny and bright, much love to you 🎉❤🎉

  7. Happy Christmas Jess and Family May the Lord Jesus bless and Keep you all Thank You Jess for all you and your family Do its been a joy in my evenings to watch u guys all my Love D from Ireland

  8. Jess shorter hair looks great. Please keep warm and safe and please may we see some "fancy" pictures all of you. 🌲🌲🌲🫂🫂🫂

  9. Made the chickens and guineas stay in and turned on a heat lamp. I have been making extra sure they have water and took out a high protein block. They are weathering the storm just fine. They would like to out but I don't want them dragging in snow and wetting the bedding. Hope everyone out there is doing fine and having a merry christmas.

  10. I’m in the south too and it’s 1 degree outside 😂 it’s gonna get up to like 27 tomorrow but then we’re getting more snow. I’m just thankful to not be in a blizzard 😂 I’m trying to not just sleep all day- I like to hibernate in weather like this 😂

  11. I'm a newly diagnosed Autistic Adult at age 39. I thank God for helping me find myself. It makes sense. My whole life something was missing, because I've been masking all my life. Make you life special for you and your loved ones. That's all that matters. Putting God first is always a must in our family. God Bless, stay warm.

  12. Could you please post a pic of you guys dressed up? No rush! I know it is a part of your lives that is private but I would love to see your outfits and you guys all gussied up. That way you would still have your private fancy dinner! Thanks so much for all you do! Merry Christmas Jess, miah, and family!

  13. In AZTEC, NM Has been in the 30s we are blessed with dry weather , wind but not bad and no snow.
    Have a good Christmas.

  14. Merry Christmas y’all! I love the fancy dinner idea, that’s such a great idea for kids of all ages!

  15. This is our first winter in South Carolina too. I definitely can't complain, but geesh, it's an adjustment (coming from Arizona). We tucked our animals into the barn workshop yesterday before the cold front hit. So all is going well here. We wish your fam a very Merry Christmas!

  16. We had such strong winds in Quebec yesterday a tree took out our fencing for the chicken run and pig run. It was so bad we thought our house was going to blow over and last night it was -22 Celsius. Have a merry Christmas to your family.

  17. Jess I have just watched your interview and it was epic. Thank you. "Gift to the 🌍🌎🌏". And I truly believe that even if the person said it with different intention. 🤩 thank you for YOU AND MIAH AND YOUR LOVABLE KIDS.😍🤩

  18. Here in Daytona Beach FL Dec 23,24 and 25 is 27F with a little wind. Happy Holidays to you and your! Stay warm you all.
