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.

such a fabulous garden & awww Zucchini is just the sweetest😅
Good stuff and great harvest! Love you have the monarch's there.
I am blessed with a husband and one of our sons that will do anything for me . I always let them know how much I appreciate them and love them . I thank them . My husband is a chef and you would think he would want to be anywhere but the kitchen on his day off but he cooks for me . He helps take care of our grandbaby girl and does laundry , helps with building stuff too .
If you leave it laying around it’s easy to find! ❤that’s what my husband says if I put it up he can’t find anything 😮 great video
I've often wondered as I listen to the sweet guitar sounds in the background if that is your dear friend Daniel. If it is, thank him from this appreciative listener as I thoroughly enjoy every single note.
Your garden looks awesome great harvest
Jess, after the little argument my wife and I had today, I genuinely needed to hear the message you had for us right at the beginning of this video. Honestly it was mostly just youtube autoplay, but God knew I needed to hear this perspective in this moment. Thank you for sharing with us, and God Bless you and your family in all you do!
That was not a Monarch but a Viceroy butterfly 🙂
I love zucchini kitty
I love Zucchini kitty ❤ What a mush she is!
Jess, I just want to say thank you. I needed this video today. We are in the transition of moving to our first small piece of land (in Arkansas!) and it has been so stressful lately that I started wondering if it was worth it. I can see now that it is. ❤
Thanks Jess 😊
Jess, what changes in your land have you observed since rotating various livestock? I know you get rain, but your grasses look extra lush and green. Thanks for sharing additional info.
ornimental/flowering kale and cabbage youtube vid idea….
Jenna, can you do a vid on these? i hear that you "can" eat them, just not as flavorful.. but i would like to see you grow one and taste it and get your opinion, they look so good – (so many colors and varities).. but i don't wanna grow something i can't eat.. well, they are ediable.. but i want to know your experience with them..
you like flowers/plants.. have you planted coleus yet? so many choices.. the colors are awesome!
I'm a messy Jessi tooooo 😂
My husband's nickname is also Messy Jesse! 😂
I love gardening in the evening!! I got to do that today, my husband cooked dinner and I stayed out until the mosquitoes ran me inside! It was great!
Watering in the cool of the evening with the fading light was my favorite time of the day. I miss my garden.
Hey Jess how is your carnivore diet going can you eat other foods veggies and such or are you still limited to just meat
❤
Listening to you while I pick gallons of green beans this evening. I love your garden videos! They are so calming!
I keep expecting you to click your heels together and say "there's no place like home". I am glad you are home. The bounty of your harvest is wonderful and beautiful. Thanks for an evening in the garden. I bless you as well.
Zucchini kitty should have a flea collar if shes going to go through the jungle😂
I like them boots❣️
fun video what a wild garden you have my dear.
It makes my heart feel good watching you in your garden
Have you used the clothesline that your husband built?
💚🌱🌻
Zucchini kitty is a star <3
Love those boots, very 'wizard of oz' ❤
Aside from everything else, I love seeing the cats. So sweet.
I pray one day that I meet my forever, I know my Jeremiah is out there. I've devoted my life to raising my child and they are becoming a senior this year so…. Hopefully the Lord will bless me or I'm gonna die alone with my garden and cats lol, but seriously I do pray for my daughters future and mind with whatever it brings
Seeing your garden and abundance of food makes me miss having a garden. Maybe next year.
One of Mine, I'll put all the tools I'm using for a project in a container (bucket/basket/box/whatever) and end up accumulating a lot over the project. But I never 100% complete the project so the tools never got put away. So… then I can't find a tool and have to look through 3-5 project containers to find it.
I wait till the vines start to die back on pumpkins.
Do t you ever worry about snakes. The kitten would have made my heart restart.
I'm just here for Zucchini cat bombing the vids ❤
