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.

Also I am sure there are many older people that watch all the homesteaders, because of the content and nostalgic reasons. I am one of them and Love living through your lives. You have such a calling and importance to us who really can’t do what you guys do. But you have helped me to do what I can , where I’m at, as old as I am. The Classroom!

I’m grateful I took the Jess challenge and asked for a green stalk as a birthday/Christmas gift. And I got it! Also placed my first seed order and only ordered foods I like, things that can grow in the planter. I’m 68 years old and this will be my second ever try at growing food. The first was 40 years ago and was a disaster! The slugs literally ate everything overnight. I’m excited to give it another go in 2023 and possibly start my grandchildren on their own food growing journey. Happy New Year!🎉💙

I’m 65, grew sunflowers last year and kept salad plugs alive all summer for the first time. I’ve always composted but I invested in plenty more too, pushed a load of pots with flowers, herbs, shrubs together and topped up the gaps with compost to create 2 pretty and passable beds, 3 really, practised chop & drop like mad, mowed seldom as UK had a dry summer, bought seeds and what I need to caretake (clean/sharpen) secateurs/shears/lopper (haven’t done this yet). And I watched/listened to a tonne of Jess/Lovely Greens/Huw Richards/Katrina/Epic Greens/ Garden Ninja & Liz Zorab (& more recently Charles Dowding). But this is the year of The Grow! Good luck,good gardening & good fun Lanie xx 🪴🥰🪴

Hello from a nearly 74 year old in central Virginia . Those slugs are so destructive & disgusting , aren't they ? There are a few things you can do to bait & kill them . 1) you can purchase slug bait . Just lay a piece of lumber , plywood , etc on the ground . Under the wood , sprinkle the slug bait & lay the wood back on top of it . They will come to it & it will kill them 2 ) Buy some cheap beer , pour an inch or so in a pie plate etc. , anything fairly shallow , place it where the slugs frequent . They cannot resist the smell of the yeast & crawl over in it & drown . You can also sprinkle a little salt on them - if you see them crawling & it will dissolve them !

God has given them the gifts in this area. He has put this in their hearts. There are people who enjoy being negative and making others uncomfortable, then there are others truly do the bidding of Satan (sending porn etc). Take all those people at what and where they are. The more you are doing right, the more you can expect it. Take it as a compliment. As Christians we know that if we are doing what God wants us to do, no matter the outcome, it has been profitable. It makes us courageous!

'miah, I don't know if it's already on your radar, but I hope you have a separate space in the planned workshop for metalworking. Welding and forging are things that a lot of homesteaders end up learning because it's needed on a homestead. You don't want to mix that space with woodworking because splattered slag contaminates a woodworking area almost instantly making power tools break and embedding in wood, not to mention the fire hazard. The metalworking side has tools specialized to work on metal and a metal table to weld on. A lot of workshops have the two areas separated with a door (usually a big sliding door) in between. Usually the metalworking shop is smaller unless you also get into doing machinist work.

What the fk is going on here? You've had these issues your whole life and never seen a urologist? I know health care in your country is kind of messed up and can be expensive but seriously. No one ever referred you before? No one ever said this could help? Imagine the next ten years of your life with the same problems, then imagine it all being fixed up in a month and never dealing with it again. If you skip that appointment, I will kick your .....not really. You are worth it, please just do it for you.

Pam here…. I just went through 6 months and 6 different antibiotics a cystoscopy with the urologist…turned out I actually had 2 bugs growing and one didn’t show up in 2 cultures…that 3rd one it finally did…and it still took 2 antibiotics to get rid of it. The infection was actually heading to sepsis. I was so exhausted, my pulse was racing, throwing up, passing out. When the culture finally returned. the bug is a common one that is found in mouth with root canals. Which, 4 years ago I got really sick after pulling out a tooth that hurt constantly dispite being root canaled. I made dentist pull it. Wound up in hospital 4 weeks later…long saga…but i think that the bug lingered somewhere in my system. Sigh. Hope you are at a better place!!

My mom had dementia and you could tell without testing when she had a UTI because her dementia was so much worse. It blew me away when you mentioned the connection between the two. Going back to your video about "planting a seed", my wish for 2023 is to stay on track with the seed your talk helped me plant in my life, that I cover it over and water it in through the year. Part of it is financial, but much of it is about making my retirement count for something. I have made over 100 hats for the homeless and I am thinking it is time to branch out. I am constantly crocheting. I need to try to turn some of that work into money, and from that money, I can put a good portion of it into buying more yarn to make things for people in need! Prayers for 2023, that everyone makes headway this year, making your future match your dreams! 💖🙏💖

Oh my Dear Girl! I am so glad to hear you are feeling better!!! Food really has such an impact on us, most of us never realize how bad we feel until we don't feel that way anymore. Although I thankfully did not have major medical issues, just eliminating grains and sugar have made such an enormous difference. Changing your diet is HARD but rewarding and it really is a permanent change; you know when you eat something you shouldn't! I'm grateful to you and your family for all of your sharing, thank you and may God continue to bless you all.

I don’t comment much but I have been so blessed by the two of you in more ways than I can count. I truly love you guys and consider you friends. I talk about you to my family and friends a lot and they probably think I am nuts but you have inspired me in numerous ways. I have laughed with you and I have cried with you and I have prayed for you. My only regret is that I didn’t have you as friends when I was younger. I am 61, I have a garden and chickens and you played a huge part in that. I get scared sometimes because my husband and I are feeling the aging process and wish I had more time on earth to enjoy the things I am learning from you all. God bless you guys for all you do and the most important thing is that you love the Lord and give him all the honor and glory. I would so love to meet you guys one day and I know that probably isn’t going to happen because you can’t just spend your time hanging out with everyone that wants to visit you. Even though it would be wonderful. I could listen to you guys all day. Thanks again Jess and Myah. Keep up the good work. I wish you lived here in Alabama😊

2022 was just emotionally hard on me. As a parent and just as a person. So many things have hit and knocked me down over and over. We had so much tragedy here. I was just consumed in depression. I would literally spend entire weekends in bed just sad and spent. The garden failed last year completely. Farm animals were attacked and killed by predators. Huge teenager issues that almost this mom's heart. I am hoping to just find the love for homesteading again this year. Because I am just so very close to just walking away. I love that you share your raw and personal because it reminds me that bad crap happens to everyone not just me.

I don’t understand why people cannot support one another through the good times out the bad times. But instead they choose to leave us standing alone to deal with it all on our own. But no matter how much time you would of needed to take due to sickness I would been here waiting on you all to come back. Your kids are growing up, I look at Jackson and I see how much of you he has in him, with his smile and just how out going he is.

We count you guys as a blessing in our family. We always wondered why y'all didn't do lives anymore and so sorry people messed that up. We are so glad that you are getting healthy. We look forward to all the things you guys are doing and hope God will bless you with all your needs for this. I have been looking for Miah to do sawmill videos since way back. We just love the upbeat spiritual part of how you operate. We think you are great Christian role models. Hopefully we can afford to follow you on patrion. Keep up the good work and God bless you all. I bless you till next time

I didn’t even wait for the video to be over. I immediately signed up for your patreon channel. I truly appreciate you making it the same for every level we can sign up for. That was really a beautiful thing to do. I can only afford the three dollar level and believe me I wish I could do huge level I love to support the two of you and what you do. So I appreciate being able to do it even if it’s a little bit. I appreciate the rewards that you give us in return. Thank you both for being exactly who you are and Jess I’m so glad you’re doing better. You poor thing it’s been one horrible year for your health.

Thank you for sharing the beautiful dream of 2023. I also want to thank you for sharing your journey through your autoimmune illness. I to have an autoimmune disorder (RA), for which I was diagnosed 15 years ago. I have been in remission but now I’m dealing with a new disorder, IBS. It has been miserable so now I’m starting with the food elimination phase. Like you I am so thankful for my garden. I’m just a backyard container gardener but it brings me such joy and peace I can’t even explain. Your words gave me the strength to begin the elimination of foods that my gut is sensitive too. I have to eliminate bread, sugar, processed foods, chocolate, some of my favorite fruits, nuts, and veggies. This year I will be growing fruits and veggies that I can eat. I’m retired and living on a fixed income and I’m so happy the you are making membership affordable for all of us. I live in So Az in zone 10 so I can grow food almost year round. I love your vlog and the newsletters. I’m looking forward to 2023 and feeling healthy and whole again. Thank you and I BLESS YOU❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻

I miss your lives so much but completely understand. Once I reach my financial goals I can join! Even $3/mo is precious right now. I hope you understand. I’m glad you are getting better, Jess! Having been debilitating sick in the past myself and having quickly self-sprung from it, I sympathize. I feel you. 🥹 Here’s to 2023! Slow living. Good garden foods. Peaceful minds. Healthy body and souls. 🍅

Praise God for your renewed health! We found a long term bacterial, viral, and parasite infection this year. I have been battling symptoms on and off for years. The past 18 months were terrible. I was barely functional. But I found a wonderful provider who advocated for me and we have made huge improvements in the last 4 months! I'm excited for this year, it absolutely feels like a fresh start!

I have skills, I was a locksmith and a Safecracker but now retired. I have also been working in my woodshop primarily wood-turning. If you happen to need a demonstration or class at 1 of your functions, I'd be glad to volunteer my time.

I'm also thankful for building my health back after more than a decade of rheumatoid arthritis, and all the medications involved with it. I'm still "fixing" my gut, but I feel better than ever this past year. It can only get better and better in the year coming up! So I'm very thankful for that. I'm also thankful for sources of information like this YT channel. I've learned so very much, from so many different people from all over the WORLD. Had you told me 15 years ago this would have been possible, I never would have believed it!! It's a pretty amazing resource!! And Im thankful for watching you two GO, GO, GO!! This channel is always such a nice place for me to land, no matter what my day brings. Thank You Jess & Jeremiah. Just Thank You. ❤️

Jess, I’m not sure if you have ever seen a female urologist but I would highly recommend it if you run into issues in the future. As a woman with urological issues, I never got answers until I happened to speak to female heath provider who wasn’t even a specialist in urology, but just actually listened and cared. I’ve had male urologists tell me things like “sorry honey, women just have problems like this sometimes.” 😒😒 Hard pass on that medical advice!! I do hope you’ve got real, good answers now!

Happy New Year Jess and Miah! I’m really looking forward to becoming a Patreon supporter. I’m only a member of two channels. I’m very picky who I support and the most important criteria is, “What value does this channel bring to me”? You have already brought me so much “value” by helping me to get back into gardening. I’m not always successful, but my goal for 2023 is to change that scenario. I’m really looking forward to this new venture of yours. Godspeed ❤️

Even if your community plans came about from vlog content creation, I am so impressed that your efforts are so timely and important! People need the instructions for living, the teach a man to fish idea. I don’t have what you do but do what I can without yt. I give people books that are starting to raise or grow their own food, provide our excess to a cooperative group of farms, give to those who can’t. Community is so important to help others as we embrace a new way of feeding ourselves or others. Thank you for what you are doing!
