    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.

    Ok, I had to replay the beginning after I realized who Brianna was and you must be talking about Meg Hollar. I love when y’all get together! Hugs all around 🤗

      they're crossing the streams on multiple channels! No one knows what will happen! (I'm guessing good food.) I hadn't thought about it before, but all of a sudden I'm thinking about what Meg will have. With all the boys and the one girl would another girl be good? Just a happy healthy baby is all they need, right? And how'd they get the new baby coming? That's a mystery. I remember the Peanuts cartoon had a solution involving the great pumpkin.

    I loved the comment about homesteaders being proud of their food.
    I grew cauliflower and broccoli this winter for the first time. I was in awe when I harvested a 3lb. 4oz. Cauliflower. I took pictures and showed them to anyone who would look. 😂
    Also I love seeing the UA-cam family that I watch come together, such a blessing to be a little bit a part of your celebrating Meg. 💖💙

    This was such fun! I think one of my favorite things about being part of the gardening community is that when (for example) a friend comes by with marmalade from her Seville orange tree I can give her a couple of pints of butternut squash for soup. I love the swapping! 💚

    I’m a foodie, a cook and a gardener and I get you about the pride you have when you harvest food and gift it to others. I am no farmer, but my little backyard homestead can produce some beautiful food. I particularly love bringing my mother whatever I have in season when I go visit her. Put some of that peach jam in your vinaigrette when you make your beet salad, you can thank me later! Thanks for sharing.

    I bought strawberries for my Greenstalk last year, and they were small, but they spilled all out of the Greenstalk into my raised bed, and there are large strawberries on them. If I can keep the slugs away… I love it that you have introduced your friends to us. Because of you, my homesteader families have grown. ❤

    Love watching the harvest. Maybe think about putting a cute tote or flower pot in each high tunnel where you can store gardening tools (trowels, harvesting knives, etc) to have handy. I've seen other gardeners set up old mailboxes in their gardens where they keep such things as well. We have a small shed near our garden, so our tools are nearby.
    If you put row covers on your brassicas, you don't have to worry about worms as much. If you let the worms take over, you'll have even more moths & worms next season. 😱

    Oh my goodness your new iris is just like the ones that came with my house! I love it. It's peachy. Holds up well in a vase if you can cut it before it opens, better than a lot of others I have. I sent a picture of the very same one (and a bunch of others) to my grandpa the day before he passed suddenly. The next year they multiplied like crazy. Don't know the real name of it but I call it Grandpa's favorite because that's the one he said he liked the most.
