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 for answering the sweet potato vein question. I do appreciate it ❤
Hi Jess. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Jess thank you for your sharing of everything. Please film the pumpkin result on YouTube I don't do any other venues. Such a joy today has been
I bless you and family
Jess should have a sign saying i just want to sit in my pumpkin patch!
You will make people pumpkin-happy❤️!
Take the pumpkins to the barn and sit with them for a little while and then give away most? Blessings 💞🤗
Can you feed them to your pigs?
Someone at a plant swap wanted ginger, so I brought her some and she was all disappointed when she saw it and said, “…this is.. like.. edible ginger? I wanted the ornamental kind…” 😂🤷♀️ lol I was so confused why someone wouldn’t want an edible thing that is ALSO pretty.
I so love your videos and fam. I look forward to your videos so much. I grew up in Walterboro SC ❤❤❤ I'll be back there one day permanently, you can bet on it.
I want to see you in a picture with your pumpkins! A pumpkin rich photo 😂
I’ve eaten the tubers and leaves of the ornamental sweet potatoes
Those pumpkins are amazing! How did you ward off the squash bugs? Any tips or tricks? We are in Rock Hill not too far from you and I haven’t been able to grow pumpkins because of the aweful squash bugs 😢.
❤
Bless you 😊
Someone where I live (Minneapolis) does urban foraging for ornamental sweet potatoes. They are doing it now as we are definitely at the end of our season. In my opinion- no harm no foul, most likely it will all end up in the trash
Rest!
Y'all should do some canning of pumpkin for pies.
I would stash pumpkins wherever I could! The milk room, chicken brooder isn’t being use now right?! It’s not going to get super cold down your way for a long time and those pumpkins would make great treats for both man and beast as the days get shorter!
Can’t help but smile watching this video.
