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.

Your grocery store is in your front garden! Love that! You give your money to feed rather than the store!
Love
I agree I am still not sure what day it is! But it’s good! I’m not ready for the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season! I’m giving myself until Wednesday to ease into some activities coming up on the weekend! Knowing there is food to be enjoyed is not taking anything for granted in my mind it’s because the blessing of the peace you now enjoy because you chose to plan, bought and raised those chickens that you have eggs to be gathered! 💖 Thankful
🫶👍
"It's insane!" I love it! God bless each of the Sowards!
What a beautiful prayer to pray for someone. 🥰
If you would like a puzzle recommendation I LOVE Charles Wysocki puzzles. They are cozy Amish paintings and ah, I just love them. It makes me want to jump into the painting and shop at a little Amish farmers market.
You are such a beautiful gift from Jesus 💝. I love to watch you. You are soo inspiring to me.
aahh. thank you, Jess! I receive that 100%! I have to laugh..at first I read comfortable "jeans". seems appropriate. 🙂
I’m focusing on the daily thanks 😊, it helps to keep me grounded in the uncertainty of the day
My family does puzzles year round and glues them for future framing to hang or give away. We love it so much that my daughter plans to have one on a table at her wedding reception. 🧩
Blessings ❤️
Love your vlogs, so grateful for you. Always happy to see a new video in my feed! ❤
So Sweet🥰 Thank You for your pray✨
That is one magnificent rooster! Thanks for sharing
Ok, so I’m like 37 seconds into this video and I just have to say: we love you, Chick. Your simple, soft, well informed, romantic, yet practical heart… you’re just adorable. Yeah, I’m an old lady, ( waaaaayyy older than you), but YOU, LITTLE MISSY,are who I would love to be when I grow up.
This evening I was just sitting out in my garden as the sun disappeared. I layed eyes on a bat swooping to and fro catching It's evening meal. It was only 1 but I enjoyed watching it. I didn't know that I could sow chamomile now. I will get some planted in tomorrow. I mixed kale and collards so good. Thanks Jess! Your awesome!!!
Jess, "it's extra ordinarily ordinary"….I see more stickers and T-Shirts in the making with this one….
Extraordinarily ordinary comfortable dreams! Thank you for your prayer, and your servant's heart.
So true Jess, it was a wonderful Thanksgiving, but I’m having trouble getting on with everything. Love sweet Ezra, “It’s insane”. Exactly!❤
Do y'all still have the great Dane? Haven't seen him in awhile and now I forget his name… Was just thinking about him 😃
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸☕️☕️☕️👀👀👀👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻🥃🥃🥃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My single g❤uy neig❤hbor who thinks I’m nuts for having chickens, lamented today that eggs were almost $6/ doz today. I said to him….. my chickens are looking better huh?
Science wise. The mud isn't giving them the bugs and worms. Food sources could be effectived by the wet muddy areas for the chickens.
It became your rhythm 🥰
Puzzles and Monopoly I stay up late. Late v is I jabe a jars tome walking away from a puzzle
Our lives SHOULD be full of wonderful and joyful every day, should be beautiful and ordinarily extraordinary. What a wonderful day it will be when what's unusual is the moments that it's not.
Had a comfortable dream moment today so great timing. I had years of pain in my body and wishing for a house and space of my own. Today I planted a lot of tulips and some other bulbs, loaded in a truck load of wood, and did a bunch of meal prep. I am tired but not in pain, and I am thankful for the gift of healing and strength I have received
Hit that like button please and thank you. 😍
I would love some tea making videos. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Have you made quiche? A deep dish pie crust, 6 eggs, some sausage or bacon, cutup young potatoes, chopped onion, chopped peppers, thyme, salt, pepper, and two cups milk. Bake at 350F for 45 minutes. An easy breakfast and you can freeze these too.
Bless you Jess !
New to gardening….I’m so confused cause I thought chamomile grows only during the summer
I totally get it. When what you need is right out of your front door it's a beautiful thing. Not that you didn't work for it, because you most certainly did! But having it there is such an awesome feeling.
Happy Thanksgiving Roots and Refuge Family. Thank you for the blessings and for a sweet video. Love to y’all.
SO BLESSED!! 🐝🕸🦋🐞🌻🌱🐣🐤🐥🐓🐄🐖🐑🐩🐮🦙💦❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍😁
Love love love ❤
