The date day at home is wonderful when the kids are home. They suck when the kids have grown up and moved out! There is not much more alone than a home without children!
Plans and lists are my thing but I've learned to leave room for what we call UPP = un planned projects. Like when a tree falls and we have to cut and split it, or the roof in the shop has a leak. Putting a tin roof on it was the eventual plan but now becomes part of the immediate plan. Life has taught us to stay flexible and don't over commit so you don't become discouraged. Thanks Jess and Miah for the great content. I too, have a grounded husband who takes my dreamy ideas and dabs them with reality and then makes them work out somehow.
Having watched you and your family grow, as well as your garden family grow, for 6 seasons now, i look forward to gardening "beside you" again this coming season ❤ Continue blooming, beautiful
I had to tell my husband about what the two of you said. You sound like us getting into something we wanted but man it's taking A LOT of WORK to just make is small hole at the world we are making on our small farm. All with the grace of God who has given us all what we have. Thank you for sharing, till next time God Bless
Miah's reactions when Jess calls the meat cows his girls..."These aren't my girls." It reminded me of Venkman in Ghostbusters, "She's not my girlfriend. She sleeps above the covers. Four feet above the covers!" So cute! You two are the cutest, and I'm so excited for what this new year is bringing for y'all!
Thank you for putting things in my journey in the correct order, you will never know how much you have fixed my misperception. I trust y'all are as excited as I to do 2024. Respect from Africa 🇿🇦
The perineal garden can become a 2 phase plan, half away from the septic and the second done after the pipes are laid. Planting the longest-to-produce plants, the grapes/scuppernongs on the right side with the berries going in on the left because they only take a year to fruit while the scuppernongs take 2 to establish their form and start setting fruit. Some people just don't show their joy as easily as others, but Miah's excitement was still there! I can't wait to watch your dream home come together!
Awww I'm so glad to see you both living your dreams, it gives me hope for my own dreams! 🙏💚 Jeremiah is too sweet, I'm so excited to see the long coming HOUSE built by your own two hands ! Well done guys keep being awesome!!! 🙌
All this is great but when you said you'll have Harlow at the end of the driveway...my mama/future grandma heart MELTED 🥰🥲🫠 so so sweet!! That made me more excited for ya'll than all the other future endeavors ❤🎉 I'm so excited for ya'll!!
I’m so excited for you to begin construction on your dream house! I like Miah’s plan to use the pauses in the house construction to build the workshop! He’s turning his waiting room into a whole building!
I have a hard time imagining five year plan because my home place homestead will be more like a retirement place, not a constantly growing affair. Blessings everyone everywhere and always
You and Miah are relationship/marriage goals. I am recently divorced and I hope you don’t take this the wrong way cuz I know you would never promote divorce, but knowing your own history and blended family, you guys give me hope that I still have a chance to find true love and build a happy, healthy environment for my babies and I. ❤ thank you for that.
Happy New Year 🎉…It’s 2024, The Year Of The Open Door…Many Blessings To You And All Who Reads This…The Door Is Open To ALL Who Wants To Walk Through It…God Bless
Totally get it the ‘not real’ feeling. We bought our homestead about same time and when we bought our property it’s a house stuck in the 70’s but well cared for. We had discussions how we would make it our own from the time we first walked through it. And now setting up plans to renovate, the fact it’s happening this summer is surreal after so many talks about over the past 3 years.
I have not been watching for long so it is the first time I've seen a view of the property. It is so beautiful and flat. Not sure how many acres you have, but what a blessing! I would have loved it if I had learned what I know now about growing your own food when I was your age. I am 62 now and even a few raised beds is a lot of work. You guys are amazing.
Your marriage is such a symbiotic relationship, Jess with the gardening dream, Miah with the building skills to make it happen. Can I like this video x 100??? I would if I could. Happy 2024!!!😊
My husband built our house in 1988. We’ve made so many wonderful memories here. He passed in late September, and I so often think about the love and protection he left for me in this home that he built. Blessings to you as you bless us in sharing your life.
I’m so sorry for your loss dear 🙏🏻💛 My husband is building our home and I’ve never thought of it that way, but what an amazing legacy to live on after we pass. How beautiful that you are surrounded and sheltered by his love for you. Blessings 🌻
I can’t believe it’s been 3 years already. Super excited for you both, and for the upcoming videos as Miah gets to build his dream. You both are just the cutest!! Blessings to you both until next time. Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉
I adore you both of your channels, but mostly I love the videos you do together. So cute and so funny. Can't wait to see the greenhouse complete and then the HOUSE start!
Oh Jess - a calendar of your photo creation on the months at the farm - January Mud Month with muddy pics of farm life; Seasonal changes, and new babies born on the farm - and like you need more to do yet it would be great Merch! And your such a great photographer, creator! Blessings to your family and Farmily - Mother Medicine Music
I’m so exited for you both to break ground on your house. Finally seeing Miah get to fulfill his dream inspires me to go after some of my dreams. Love you both ❤
Omg I never realized Miah had a channel for building things soooooo excited. Jess I love watching all your amazing tips on just about everything and now I can get building tips too.
The idea of a family working together and living together for ultimately the most wonderful lifestyle. It's amazing. I remember your dad was supposed to move onto the property once upon a time maybe I missed an update on that. Hopefully he's doing well and makes it back to help with the house build. ❤
I define don't begrudge them this but I think it's a little easier to get things done when you have the financial means and him not having a job off the farm. I think it's absolutely amazing they are in this position because I know they weren't always!
I could not stop smiling this whole video! What a blessing, dreaming the big dreams and that five year plan!! I still have yet to make one, at this moment it feels scary to dream big. God willing, the direction and dreams will come.
I love the dedication to building life skills into your family. I’d love to see a video on your bulk pantry supply storage /and more importantly how you store bulk dairy and meats. Thanks for sharing your wisdom !
We started our farm in 2021 as well. We started with 47,000 jobs. We now have goats, sheep, cows (mini Herefords) chooks, geese, ducks, guineas, dogs cats and parrots (we already had them). A garden. We still have 47,000 jobs lol. But it’s just us running it. 2 people and a little bit of help from the nearly grown kids. We hadn’t really farmed before. All the furry/feathered people are doing great.
Jess and Miah I wanted to share with you just how much you bless others, sometimes without even knowing. Several years back I remember you talking about Miah’s grandmother named Beulah from Newfoundland. I live in Gander Newfoundland and my nans name was Beulah so every time I see the Sing Beulah sign in the barn I smile and think of her. Thank you for that. Ps. Who knows we could be family, and I’d be honoured 😊❤️
Lovely to see the 2 of you interact with each other. Your joy bounces of each other, for each other. I look forward to watching Miah's channel as I look forward to watching this channel and your new Farm to Table channel. God is blessing you and your little family with Abundance. ENJOY!!!!
Very happy to hear the house will be started soon. I definitely will watch Miah build it. I've always wondered about what it takes to build it all. And He's got really unique ideas and puts his own spin on things. I pray for your physical bodies to have renewed energy and good health this year and you'll have a graceful year! Yes this is the time to get things going!!!
Thank you both for being you. I’m sitting here with tears streaming down my face. With joy for you both and enormous grief on my heart. I have had a year of to much lose for one person to bare. As i sit here reflecting on all the doors closing in my life. But as I sit wondering how or when God will move me “pass me the ball”. I am in gratitude to have you and your journey to uplift and encourage me. I’m blessed to see Gods grace in your lives and I can’t help but to be immersed in my own faith that my creator can will and is moving mountains in my life and yours. God Bless us all. And thank you for being you. ❤
Ooo! So many lovely plans and activities! We can really relate to the 5 yr. and immediate goals with shifting when things change or develop! I keep telling myself it makes us better to learn to be flexible and not to hang on to plans so tight that we choke them or make them our god! Many blessings to you in the coming year! I look forward to it. It's great to see the spark in Jeremiah when build plans are discussed 😊!
Love your enthusiasm and sharing the process, Miah! Thank you both for being real and generous! I’m so excited to watch your journey unfold in 2024! Much love! 🌻
Hi there and happy New Year’s. My name is Judy. I’m soon to be 69years young. The end of January. Let me say …. So proud of you young lady. Keep up the videos for the younger ladies especially. Not to say I haven’t done a couple of your recipes and they are fabulous. God’s blessings to you, your husband and family and thank you again.
Thanks for sharing your plans & enthusiasm for your farm! I’m excited for you & love how you incorporated the house into your story today! May 2024 & beyond be a blessing to everyone 🤗💕🇨🇦
Yahoo!!! on building the house. I can hardly wait until it begins. I wrote down a few goals for the first months of 2024 but not a five year plan. Back to the dreaming board.
So awesome to see your guys's dreams coming true. Looking forward to everything happening in 2024 on your homestead. I have been watching Roots & refuge for about 5 years now. Don't think I've missed an episode . And don't plan on it, also watching miah's video. Great job.
How exciting to watch your new home being built. Please put a storm shelter in your new house for the safety of your family. I hope you will also have a root cellar for food storage. So excited Miah is starting back his video content also. And I’m loving your cooking channel. Even though I’ve been cooking for over 50 years, I’m still learning from you 🥰 Happy New Years 🥂
This is awesome news! Thrilled to hear the house & shop will be starting and we get to tag along to see the progress! I kinda like the new calfs name too! Sending Best Wishes for the New Year!

Jeremiah’s eyes twinkled when he started talking about the house build.
For goodness sake... someone throw Miah the PASS!!!! ❤❤❤😂😂
Many blessings to y’all. I pray that 2024 will bring us our land so that we too can begin our homestead. Love watching & learning from y’all!
I love how much Miah talks when he is excited!
It's so fun to watch you dream with a plan! Can't wait to see it happen!
So so lovely to listen to your young dreaming goals and being realistic too....u both r just so wonderful to listen to!
Sounds like an exciting 2024 for you! Praying all your dreams come true. Blessings.
I had to tell my husband about what the two of you said.

Four feet above the covers!" So cute! You two are the cutest, and I'm so excited for what this new year is bringing for y'all!
I pray the 2024 house build comes to fruition for y'all ❤ Y'all totally deserve it❤
Thank you for taking us along for every adventure!!!! ❤ HAPPY 2024!!! 🎉😊
So good seeing Miah again I've missed him chatting with us
So lovely when you share your dreams and plans and really looking forward to the house and shop builds
Thank you for putting things in my journey in the correct order, you will never know how much you have fixed my misperception. I trust y'all are as excited as I to do 2024.
Respect from Africa 🇿🇦
Love all your plans. Hope all your plans will be there at the end of 2024.
Maybe you can do rainwater catchment on the goat shelter? Greetings Shanna
The perineal garden can become a 2 phase plan, half away from the septic and the second done after the pipes are laid. Planting the longest-to-produce plants, the grapes/scuppernongs on the right side with the berries going in on the left because they only take a year to fruit while the scuppernongs take 2 to establish their form and start setting fruit. Some people just don't show their joy as easily as others, but Miah's excitement was still there! I can't wait to watch your dream home come together!
Oh! I cannot wait to watch Jeremiah build this house! I’m going to learn so much!
Awww I'm so glad to see you both living your dreams, it gives me hope for my own dreams! 🙏💚 Jeremiah is too sweet, I'm so excited to see the long coming HOUSE built by your own two hands ! Well done guys keep being awesome!!! 🙌
All this is great but when you said you'll have Harlow at the end of the driveway...my mama/future grandma heart MELTED 🥰🥲🫠 so so sweet!! That made me more excited for ya'll than all the other future endeavors ❤🎉 I'm so excited for ya'll!!
Foundation Stone for House. It;s beautiful to watch your work, Work. Love to Yall!
I’m so excited for you to begin construction on your dream house! I like Miah’s plan to use the pauses in the house construction to build the workshop! He’s turning his waiting room into a whole building!
You two are awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing what is happening. I also was watching intently when you cut the angles on the ship lap. Wow.
Soooo happy for you two to be able to realise your dreams coming true….well planned🙌🏻
Wow cool! Looking forward to all the builds. I did see the tree house. 🌳 🏡🐐
I'm most looking forward to the table ❤ I have been awaiting the finalization of the table since it was gifted❤
I have a hard time imagining five year plan because my home place homestead will be more like a retirement place, not a constantly growing affair.
Blessings everyone everywhere and always
You and Miah are relationship/marriage goals. I am recently divorced and I hope you don’t take this the wrong way cuz I know you would never promote divorce, but knowing your own history and blended family, you guys give me hope that I still have a chance to find true love and build a happy, healthy environment for my babies and I. ❤ thank you for that.

YESSSSSS! I am so excited, and couldn't be more happy for you & your family. I'll definitely be watching!
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Any build can be overwhelming but, you have great taste and judgement I'm sure it will be awesome!
I have not been watching for long so it is the first time I've seen a view of the property. It is so beautiful and flat. Not sure how many acres you have, but what a blessing! I would have loved it if I had learned what I know now about growing your own food when I was your age. I am 62 now and even a few raised beds is a lot of work. You guys are amazing.

How exciting for your family & to have the blessing of Noah and his family coming also. Can’t wait to watch it all unfold.
Your marriage is such a symbiotic relationship, Jess with the gardening dream, Miah with the building skills to make it happen. Can I like this video x 100??? I would if I could. Happy 2024!!!😊

❤I just love to hear you giggle and laugh . I'm waiting to watch Maihs shows. have a wonderful and blessed New Year.
What you guys plan for a few months is pretty much my 5 year plan, ha ha! I can't believe what you've done so far. Awesome!
I define don't begrudge them this but I think it's a little easier to get things done when you have the financial means and him not having a job off the farm. I think it's absolutely amazing they are in this position because I know they weren't always!
Big dreams and unfolding of big dreams into reality is my favorite theme on this channel. ❤
Jess it’s so lovely to see the energy between you and Miah after your quality time…the love between you and your alignment jumps from the screen. ❤
💚 Thank you for hanging out with us...sharing dreams and goals for 2024 and beyond! 💚
I could not stop smiling this whole video! What a blessing, dreaming the big dreams and that five year plan!! I still have yet to make one, at this moment it feels scary to dream big. God willing, the direction and dreams will come.

You two are fantastic ❣️❣️❣️❣️
Wow! The house this year! So exciting Jess and Miah! It’s going to be a great year! And thank you for taking us along!
