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.

What a beautiful space! I love the eclectic look you have!
It's amazing how excited I get for your progress. Feel you on the imposter syndrome but really that's go-getter problems. So much passion, so little time. Your office is everything! Thanks to you I'm revamping my home office because atmosphere matters.
amen, you are not what you do….I can relate about not liking desks, I have table in my big office. I can stand at it, spread my projects out from any side and have meetings at the big table😁
What a beautiful office space! I love how there are pictures in frames surrounded by a larger frame. That is so unique and beautiful. I love the R & R.
You just follow your heart. I love the term "modern homestead."
Love the green chairs
I love ALL of your videos! So much inspiration-your energy is contagious!
Nobody is just one thing especially if we are parents. I am a nurse, but I'm also a gardener, cook, food preserver, avid book reader, chauffer, mother, spoiler of grandchildren, as well as a member of clubs and organizations. I also sew, crochet and do stained glass. None of these activities would lead anyone to believe that I'm not really a nurse. If we let people decide who and what we are then we become less. You are a homesteader, business women, writer, parent, cook, and friend etc. All aspects of our lives have avenues and time required that need to be balanced. We love to watch your videos, listen to your podcasts and read your books because of all the different experiences, avenues and aspects of your life touch and inspire us.
Your space is beautiful! Thank you for the tour! Looking forward to visiting your coffee shop and store when they are up and running! ROAD-TRIP! 🫶🏻
Lol- seriously?? Are you starting a new channel for all the “in town” content?
Jess you are the most genuine person I know!
Christian fiction knowledge yeah!
Will y’all have comfrey plants 🪴!?
Your office is beautiful! Thank for the video!
Jess love your office space BUT no Bear? How can I watch you without your sidekick?
I love your new office! It's very eclectic with some MCM thrown in the mix. That green couch is amazing!
Question Jess. Is your town a big town? Just curious. Thanks Bev from Okahoma
Love your space! And so excited for stickers to go back on sale! I use them on my Seed Binders! You have given me the love of seeds!
And Podcasts with content. I will definitely watch. I don't like books on tape, podcasts with nothing to see. I am visual so I am soooo glad you are going to do this. And Daniel. WOW.
Wow!! Love the office!
Oh my goodness, that grern sofa! 😍 Do you remember where you got it? You are one of the most authentic homesteaders out there. The homesteaders from back in the day had church and social activities, too. Ignore the haters.
Jessica Where did you get the orange curtains? I love them. I love all the colors you use very pretty.
YES!!! Love that Daniel will be joining you and such a blessed bonus to be able to have him share his talent on your new stage! Can’t wait to watch along to all your new adventures!
I understand the imposter can be loud but you are so transparent and your vulnerability is beautiful! In doing other “non-homesteading things” you are living your God called to life. I think of it as your brand of homesteading. It is what makes you special. It makes you unique. People choose to listen to you and watch you because of this uniqueness. Don’t ever be silent. Don’t ever quit! So so many are cheering for you and so captivated by you. You homestead the way you are called to! We are cheering you on! Live your brand
You can wear many different hats. One doesn’t discredit you for another.
The official office is superb! Thanks for the tour! Loved the perspective on "Homesteading". I agree!
From the…
Not-so-Lazy Q Backyard (non-content creating) Homestead 👍
“I record my podcast in my pantry” I mean if that’s not authentic I don’t know what is 😂 ❤
When I started homesteading I was a corporate executive with a large international corporation. My boss asked me to stop talking about the farm at work. He said it was unprofessional. Then one day we were in a huge corporate meeting with international execs. And he leans over and says, my wife is trying to grow tomatoes. Could you come over and teach her. I found that hilarious!
And I've been a pastor and a homesteader. That combination worked excellently.
