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.

Hi Jess! Suggestion for your tomatoes this year. Maybe grow them in the high tunnel along with the peppers so they don't suffer so badly from the heat and sun.
I read somewhere that when you plant aspargus you need to plant 4 plants for every person in the family to have enough when serving. Happy Gardening! Blessings & Peace to all!

Thank you. Really enjoyed it.
If I could move at Wills high speed mode I could get so much done. At 65 I dont think that's happening 😊. Beautiful asparagus bed!!
I think it's so great that you and Will work so good together. It's a testament to your character Jess that you share him with us, and don't pretend like you've done it all yourself like many channels do ❤
Need a Walipini Greenhouse. If the water table is high you can build it above ground and bury the N/NW side of it. I can try and find the article for it though you probably have access to better resources on how to grow citrus in your area than I have.
Blessings
Which brassicas do you need to grow in the high tunnel in the winter in SC? Mine brassicas are finally springing back from the chicken assault and looks like I will get more collards and a cabbage harvest before the heat kills them. Spring sowing brassicas is always so difficult for us since if it warms up early everything wants to bolt or die. Still have some started to plant in a few weeks anyways.
I am not being critical, but shouldn't he had cut a hole in the cardboard and dug a hole to plant that asparagus? Seems like it should be planted deeper and in soil as opposed to compost. Just curious. I am concerned it won't have anything to really root into. Please let us know your thoughts. Thanks!
The Life as A Permie videos are so peaceful and relaxing to watch while I feed my newborn.
I think eggplant does well in a high tunnel.
Jessie Girl, you worked a sort of miracle of sorts. I first joined YouTube back in 2005, and then I deleted my established channel and started over ~ moment of losing my mind I suppose . The solid that you gave me was giving me the courage to finally after all of these years here on YouTube to step out from behind the curtain and address the camera front and center. Not really certain just what you said in the past few videos of yours, but I know you touched the only part of me that contained FEAR. Fear of not being accepted because of age held me captive and you gave me the light to find the door. Bless you and your family. I will forever be grateful to you for your faith , your smile, your laughter, your strength and your love of gardening. My passion as well, although Trees, all trees are my number one love since childhood…Hugs from Laura in Ontario, Canada
Jess, is there a special marker you use?
My regular old sharpee marker does ok, but fades or entirely disappears in the humidity of my greenhouse. I put clear tape over the writing so far this year.
What do you do with So Much ginger?
😱 Oh NO! My geese devoured each sprig of asparagus as it came up. How will you prevent geese from eating it?
please tell me who you are wearing and where i can find that cheetah jacket!
Good for you for taking some time to yourselves.
I do love hearing the sounds of the job I am watching be done, and the sounds of nature and wind chimes ❤️ this is a very peaceful video Will.
Good job Will. A days work for you would take me about a week
