Roots and Refuge Farm: Hurricanes and Hot Peppers | VLOG



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.

    Thank you Jess for letting us know that you and your family are ok. Prayers for all those in the path of the hurricane/storm. 🙏🙏

  8. Marian Weber

    So glad you are safe. We are in Gastonia NC and we just got the heavy rain. I grew up in Miami,Florida so I am use to tornados and hurricanes. I don't like them but I have been through some.

  9. Eileen Bartnick

    I like your m
    Thought process for finely dicing the peppers before you ferment. The color will be much nicer than blending them all together to a brownish puree!! Get some rest tonight and decide tomorrow morning!!

    So glad you are ok and out of the Hurricane. Sounds like you have lots of rain!
    Here in Aztec, NM we have 103 degrees right now in lat afternoon.
    Good prayers to you all.

    So grateful all is well there with you on the farm, Jess @roots_and_refuge! Many friends and some of my family are dealing with this storm as well!
    Love all your sharing!

  15. Wanda Holmes

    Wow, Jess, you got more rain in this video than i did for the whole hurricane here in ocala fl. (It barely missed me, but the bands were favorable for my area, so not much wind or rain.)
    God has blessed us both!
    Thank you for letting us know how you faired in the storm

    We're in Sw Fl and Ian went directly over our house. We were a bit worried but I was able to work in the garden in lovely 80 degree weather lol. The rain came in hard and heavy but no damage. The VRBO we were going to stay at for Thanksgiving got hit really hard and had 5+ inches of water inside the house. A major hurricane has literally never hit that area of Florida and they have so much flooding 😢

  17. Kim Proffitt

    Glad you made it home safe and you all are all fine and have weathered the storm. God Bless!
    Beautiful peppers!

    I always love it when you snack on what I call
    "Garden Candy" .
    The fruits, vegetables, produce that never makes it into the house or kitchen.

    So glad the storm isn’t a threat to you all. Thanks for your earthy, practical, pull-up-a-chair-and-chat style. I love your content, but it’s you that keeps viewers coming back for more.

    I made a fermented Serrano pepper relish this year with some surplus serranos my neighbor gave me. I put it on everything. It would be really pretty with the 3 colors 🙂

  28. Wanda Kelly

    We were blessed this go round in Lexington county. I want to know how you get your peppers to grow shorter and full. I understand topping or maybe I don’t. Yours are always so lush and full.

    Thank YOU, Jess for checking in with US – You are precious to us, too. It's delightful to see you and co-inkie-dinkially, we also had hamburgers for supper tonight. LOL We were lucky enough to get the rain last night and have clear skies for grilling this evening.

  31. Amy Harris

    I'm so glad y'all are safe. I love the idea of a pica de gallon type ferment. I'm up to my eyeballs in peppers and have already made several jars of our fermented "wildfire" sauce. I hope you had a fun trip!
