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.

This was so beautiful and relaxing. Just what I needed. I love your content even when you are not speaking much and Daniel's beautiful music was like balm to my soul. Thank you! 💖
What an awesome gift your girls left you❣️
Loved this video, loved hearing all the farm sounds. The crunch of the leaves and the sound of you clearing the beds was a treat, everything is dormant here and I miss my garden, so this was great!
I loved this. It also made me realize how much of a distraction we are to you when you have work to be done. Lol jk but seriously, you were able to flow through so many different tasks. Great job, Jess!
This was lovely! I enjoy both hearing you talk and the comfortable silence. I hope you feel better soon! <3
Best video you have ever done.
So sorry you lost your voice. Hope you're feeling better soon. I saved this video to peacefully savor at the end of my day. It did not disappoint. Hanging out with a friend and the sounds of the farm are so comforting. That Copper/Black Rooster with his shiny, arching tail plumage is a beauty! Thank you for taking us along and don't forget to "breath in" a little Eucalyptus, Oregano, Thyme essential oils for your throat 🙂
This was actually quite an enjoyable video. The silence of the moment does me well when I'm out there doing chores. Thanks.
It was an amazing video. Your words of wisdom is always nice but I really enjoyed this one. Goes to show actions speak louder than words.
You always seem to know what we need. ❤
Beautiful!
Perfection. Thank you. I bless you right back.
Just something about watching you fill those egg cartons. So satisfying!
Nice.😊
Love any of your videos !!!!!
Hey Jess Finally a video where you "Shut Up" HAHAHA I sincerely am joking xxxx. This video sometimes is needed for us all (sorry your voice is having problems) but like the comments below we all need silence sometimes & just something Beautiful to visualise & watch. GREAT VIDEO JESS xxx. Cheers Denise- Australia
I enjoyed it too. Thank you for a peaceful place to visit
Feel better Jess. God bless.
I liked this. I did laugh at the asparagus in the back seat though…lol. I agree with your thoughts of getting them out of the citrus beds. If you do decide to do that, the crowns that have the seed pods on them I would suggest not replanting though. Asparagus that produces the seed pods are the female plant and produce smaller spears (the pencil thick and smaller ones) that are quite often woody. The thicker spears that we harvest are from the male plants. In the meantime, look after yourself.
There’s actually an entire genre of videos where it’s just stuff like this and no talking, bush crafting and farming are popular in this genre. Don’t fret😊There’s an audience for everything! I live in the south and people think I’m crazy but this is my favorite time of year because it’s not so stinkin’ hot! 🤪sweater weather!
