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.

So cool that you are in Cincy! Giving him a follow because I live in CIncy as well and his back yard is a dream!!
Love Mathew! Why didn’t he tell us all? I want to go!!! I hope he does a tour on his site! 😊
☮️❤️💡#blessings
You were in my hometown! Columbus! I live an hour east of there now. Would have loved to meet up with you for some coffee😊 glad you had a wonderful visit to the Buckeye State.
Oh how lovely is Matthew's garden ❤ I too stumbled across a curry plant in our garden center this year and fell in love with it.
I literally live across the river from Cincinnnati Jess
Do you know if the cottontail yarrow increases the oils in herbs like regular yarrow does?
Super compelling botanical title! ❤ Be well sweet folks. Namaste P.S. Is that Curry Plant Helichrysum Italica? 🙏❤
WOW! What a nursery! WOW what a garden Matthew has. Stunning!!
Truly uly ulious , nice to share .
Just lovely 😍
Oh hey Jess. I live in Southern Ohio, Vinton county. I've been watching Matthew since you suggested him to me, idk how I didn't catch he lives in Ohio. I'll have to turn the "all" on for his channel he will be a big help for me since we are in the same area. Hope you have fun, be safe.
Oh! You are 30 minutes from me!! I wished I could have net you. Bought you a cup of coffee
Wow, you introduce us with Mathew. Now I am following him and also getting interested to grow ornamental plants.
😂😂😂 The look on your face when he was describing the Curry plant as you snuck a nibble of the leaf.. my goodness you make me smile.
Here in Cleveland Ohio and I have a lot of the hardy banana trees and they are lovely give my backyard a tropical vibe
GOSTEI MUITO DESTA FOTO NUMA FOLHA DE BANANEIRA 👏🏻
I can’t believe you were in my city and I missed it!!!
Hello from Middletown ohio
I love Matthews channel! I’m always so thankful when you get back together
VERY VERY VERY GOOD 🙏🏻👏🏻
JESSICA JESSICA JASSCA 🇺🇸CALIFÓRNIA MARAVILHOSA👏🏻
Matthew's place is truly beautiful and looks like a soul soothing place to just be still and know He is God. Are you going to the Heirloom Expo this year?
Beautifully planned out garden center. So organized ❤
Such a magical garden space!
You are near me…we live in dayton 😊
Curry leaves are an essential part of authentic Indian and Asian cuisine. I buy mine, wnole on the stem, in the Asian Market and they are pre-frozen so they last for about a year. 😊
I love my horseradish plant! It comes back every year. I have it contained in a large pot. Every Christmas, I make homemade horseradish sauce for the prime rib. Better than any store bought sauce!! The variation is gorgeous 😍
I live in a 200 year old house in Ohio. The original owner of Natorbs had owned my home at one time. So there are beautiful trees and plants on the property grade. In one part of our yard, we found a in English garden with a fountain that had been left untouched for years. I have a goal of digging it back out one day.
Were y’all friends first gardeners later, or gardeners first friends later? This is like a chicken and the egg question. 🤪
Omgosh! I had forgotten about his channel. Your friends gardens are just so LOVELY!! Thanks for sharing!
Jess did you see any 'French Fry Hostas"? I did not know they existed till last year.
His yard is so perfectly manicured and beautiful. I love all of the contrasting colors and textures of plants. Stunning!
