I am so glad Ezra loves our Bread. He is literally the sweetest boy and he has blessed me with compliments. Hearing your bread is unforgettable from someone so young is just the ultimate and I tell everyone about him now. Thank you for having us at the Farmers Market I look forward to growing along with the market!

my kids are always asking me what I'm watching on you tube and i always tell them "my best friend, Jess" or if i say that i learned something new they will ask me if "my best friend Jess" taught me that. She truly is my best friend that I've never even met or talked to, lol.

I grew up before modern technology, and we relied on nature to predict the weather. For example, if the maple leaves on the trees are turned backwards, it will rain within 24 hours. If it’s raining, and your chickens are staying outdoors, it will rain all day. My grandpa taught me tons of weather signs, and they are still more reliable than the weather service forecasts.

Team Dark Roast coffee here. True story that my Native American Grandmother who was born in 1923 could whistle the call of every bird that lived in MS. She was a midwife and herbal healer and healing energy, etc. She lived with us and I'd give anything to go back and be able to record her knowledge and pay more attention to her stories.

Sweet Jess, Every morning 445 AM your Guatamalen coffee is brewing while I feed the animals. When I'm done feeding, and washing up. I pour that lovely Guatamalen coffee in my favorite cow cup, and top it off with my homemade vanilla creamer. Then it's time to listen to the wildlife wake, and stir in rhe woods while sitting out on the front porch. Life is good!

[@spitfirespilie7931]

When you quoted your friend Michael it made me think of how grateful I am to get the chance to be pregnant again for the ninth time at the age of 40. After trying for a year and feeling like it was hopeless it came as a surprise to all of us. And although I have seven children I am so excited to meet my eighth child. The struggle makes the victory or prize that much more meaningful.

[@brendaparker61]

I’m 60 and now watch my infant grandson 3 days a week. I reflect back to a crazy time of my life when my boys were little and my grandma came over to visit and I felt like I needed to get my younger son down for bed so I could visit with her. She gave me some of the best wisdom I have received in my life. She said, “Honey, go tuck him in and kiss him. It won’t be long before he won’t want you to do that.” Age and wisdom. Appreciate the moment.

My oldest daughter is a teacher just like her father, which proved my belief at birth that she’s a daddy’s girl. 😂 My middle daughter is searching for a home to buy now with her new husband and I giggle cause they all look like homes with a country old fashioned feel, plus garden spaces. It’s a beautiful thing watching your babies grow up and take on attributes you’ve taught over the years with your actions. Enjoy the adventures! 😊

Noticing those small characteristics of all my animals, like how your toasty is your milking buddy, is one of my favorite things about raising animals. Every animal of the farm has their own personality and it makes it fun.

I just told my husband tonight that I can't wait to be able to go outside and forage in the garden and yard for a salad. Things are just starting to turn green and I have lettuce that just came up.

For my parent's 25th wedding anniversary, one of my cousins gave them a live Tom Turkey. That bird dressed out at over 50 lb! We cut him in half and had 1/2 for Thanksgiving and 1/2 for Christmas. Both times, he fed 26 people!

Love your Roots and Refuge mug! And barn kitty Toast! Seeing and hearing your goatie girls! Starting my morning with you! I hope to make it back down to see you guys again eventually. Probably after you mercantile and coffee shop are up and running, when it's farmers market season. So much to look forward to! Love from Columbus, Ohio 💜

Routine is comforting, even on the hectic mornings. I love how you share the homesteading journey with us while doing your daily chores. Plus, the new coffee sampler box sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing your day with us!

[@TrixieJFerguson]

My mom and daddy were homesteaders back in the 70’s and 80’s … way before it was cool. Those were the good old days growing up on a small farm. We always had chickens and turkeys and pigs and a huge garden and rabbits to sell for meat. We had 2 HUGE turkey Toms that lived in our front yard and literally everybody was petrified of them. The UPS driver wouldn’t even come near the gate. LOL. It was hilarious because those Toms were the sweetest pets. 😂

[@margaret-annwood5727]

I ordered ❣️❣️❣️

[@tessaholtegaard3045]

The coffee is amazing! The Guatemalan dark roast has been our favorite and we drink it every morning. Jess, I grew up milking goats with my mom. It was where we spent the most time together and it was often just the two of us doing the chores. Those are some of my favorite memories with her. We showed goats also and it wasn’t unusual for the two of us to load up the trailer and head to a show a couple counties away. Those are the memories I hold close in my heart. In the moment it may seem like farm chores but years later they are so much more.

[@Fatimasroots]

You remind me to come back to my roots. I pray I get to fulfill my dream of having a lovely genuine community over at my channel the way we do here🌿 thank you for the inspiration to edit the video and let go of the itch to make it perfectly aesthetic (as much as I know how) these are my favorite videos just real and raw.

I cant wait to see some sourdough content on Farmers Table!! I just got my first starter from my sister in law this past weekend so this is a new journey for me even though I've been homesteading for almost 15 yrs. I also wanted to say that I love it when you show us whats sprouting and waking up on the farm in springtime. I live in Ohio and so when I see what's waking up on your farm I'm reminded of all the things that will be coming to life for us here in just a couple short weeks. I'm SO excited to start a new season!!

[@colleenmckenzie395]

I can vouch for the decaf coffee. It’s so good. I think it’s the best decaf that I’ve had. They are super nice to work with and let me customize my subscription amount. ❤

[@lindasuerussell4398]

Sample bags are the best way to discover which coffees you like best.

[@OrganicMommaGA]

Having unusual moments/days within the tapestry of our routines is what keeps it all from looking or feeling the same. And these are the ones we maybe cherish the most because, regardless of how we felt at the time, these memories are stamped as "unusual" in our minds. Yes, routine can be very good for our mental health, but also routine is what keeps us going when we don't really want to get out of bed - and usually we feel better for it. I love the idea of a snacking garden - especially one you won't have to replant every year! LOL Thank you for sharing this video today.

[@michelleatwell8580]

I just learned about making sprouts in a jar. I’m going to rely on these in the winter months for fresh greens I won’t have to buy at the store.

Freeze drying micro greens is a fantastic way to preserve them. So is dehydrating them. You can add them to smoothies and recipes to give a good nutritional boost.

[@benwags12]

The coffee mug 😍

[@colleenpedersen2560]

I grew up on a 108 acre dairy farm, the cats always waited by their bowl to be filled from the strip cup

[@taraconroy6631]

We save our lettuce and spinach containers and use them to grow microgreens. With a 2" layer of soil it's the perfect height to get the greens growing (roll up/lift up lid when seeds germinate). I find it a perfect size for keeping a few meals of greens and I usually pot up a few extra plants for the spring garden (tatsoi grows well in our northern region until mid summer 🌱)

[@edenridgefarms]

Goat babies are the best ❤ I have Nigerians, and 4 babies so far, with the rest due in a couple months. I've decided I'm not breeding them until they're over a year old, starting this year. I've got 2 bottle babies and one I have to put the mama on the milk stand to feed because they're young first time mamas. It's impossible to be in a bad mood with baby goats to snuggle. So fun to watch and cuddle.

I agree thornless blackberry bushes are worth it, not matter what is growing to forage. Not having to deal with thorns and splinters is my vote. Hope your warm weather makes it up here. We have been hovering around 0 again after a warm stretch. Spring can be such a tease up here.

I recently read Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder. They had a July 4th frost. Almonzo's dad seriously seemed to sense a frost was coming. He read the sky and knew. They got up early and doused the fields with water. Read it and be inspired by farmers of old.

How funny...I was literally JUST reading about watering before a frost in an effort to save your plants!

[@suzieq962178]

I also hate a mess on my counter, so with bread I either make it on one of those flexible plastic cutting boards or I use the press-n-seal saran wrap and put it on the counters. This way when I'm done I can peel it back with all the flour etc. I know its wasteful but its worth it for my adhd brain.

I hit up Lowe’s every so many days for the clearance plants. If they get the slightest frost or dried out damage… boom.. half off. These days the staff where I’m at never water the plants so I get my plant fix by getting a ton of plants half off just to bring home to water and give a little trim and they are good as new. It’s like a natural high dumpster divers get lol.

Good video Ma'am! And so true about the weather forecasting of old vs current weather technology - such as the old wives tale for up here that says "whatever the weather is on Good Friday, it shall be for the next 40 days"....so it shall be unsettled based on Fridays weather. The hoar frost predictions is another good one and if march comes in like a lion, it shall go out like a lamb - both of these work for up here. I do wonder if they work elsewhere.

[@sandrasstitches]

Hi Jess, I’m catching up after being away with family. I don’t remember who it was, but another experienced gardener shared that it is not recommended to plant raspberries close to other berries.
