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 far I don't like the new camera so much, the colors look washed out, and the sheep were overexposed and blown out–your face color doesn't look normal and the resolution looks lower, there was a little artifacting on edges on facial stuff. 1080p? Around 6:18 you can see artifacts on the calves hair strands. It could be settings and unfamiliarity, but it didn't put its best foot forward.
Looks good and sounds good.
I like the new camera. The picture quality is great. Seems like it picked up Miah's voice better than the old set up usually does. You were more equal volume than usual. I have starting a channel on my goals list for this year, but I keep finding reasons to not film. Guess I should take this as a sign to just do it!
There is a luminous quality to today’s footage.
Do you plan to plant a row of trees along the edge of your property for blocking wind?
Seems the new camera is tracking your face, seems more shaky. I’m glad you are trying new things
Right on! Don't show up as a subpar version of somebody else.
There is definitely someone on Youtube who does that. Sad.
I was going to say, sometimes just showing up authentically is all that’s needed. I appreciate just listening to you talk sometimes. It makes my anxiety find another place to be.
People who are not a part of a close family get the opportunity to take a seat at your family’s table…it’s such a blessing. 💚
Save your arms – new camera was great! Made me feel like I was on the farm with you and the sound was great.
I have no desire or, for that matter, nothing to make a YouTube channel about. However, I still listened to all of what you had to share because you always just make such logical sense that honestly can be applied to other aspects of one's life. I have a friend that has started a channel but she hasn't followed thru with consistency. I'm forwarding this video to her. It has so much valuable info for FREE!
Can you plant more quick growing trees for windbreak.
I love the new camera. I am in no way technically inclined so I can’t tell exactly but I think it is more clear. I don’t know but I like it
Can Jeremiah start a section called? What would Jeremiah do? I have the first question!!!
🕊 Jess you and your channel are PERFECT just the way you are! Don't change a thing, except maybe longer videos 🤗 I can't wait to see Bears play date with his siblings 🐕🐕🐕🥰 he just might remember them 😊 GOD BLESS YOU Jess for the happiness you and your amazing family creates for us 🙏🕊PS YOU ARE NOT BROKEN ANYMORE 😁🕊🕊🕊
I like camera better. Everything is so clear behind you!
New camera was great but the audio was funky when Miah was rinsing off the milking station
I love your new camera set up. Looks like I am standing right next to you in your pasture and the microphone didn't pick up any wind noise at all. Love it.
Real farm life, thank you for sharing ❤
Jess, you’re always valuable. No matter what it is. This older woman has learned quite a bit from you, a half the age person of I. We’ve been homesteading for almost 40’years. I do not watch too many channels but you’re my number ONE!!
Your new equipment is great. Hope it makes your load lighter.,
