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.

[@KathyW5]

Most times when you become worried about the background noises, they are actually no problem for your listeners. Loud chickens ... wonderful sound on the farm. Walking on gravel ... the crunchy noise just sounds like life in the country. Wind ... the breath of fresh air. Loud cows ... if only we could hear that in our everyday lives. During all those sounds, we can still hear your messages and sounds of the farm are soothing. Don't worry about them.

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

This really blesses me to hear.

[@organicprinciples]

Totally agree. Sounds like peace 😊

[@suehorner9023]

I agree. I enjoy the animal sounds and the crunch of gravel. We can hear you fine.

[@Lorelaeyn]

Absolutely agree! I listen to city sounds and indoor silence every day. Love hearing all the nature in your videos, Jess!

[@NothingHere818]

I like the sound of the gravel lol.

[@Holly_at_gypsyhollergardens]

The cut flower tunnel , I would create a space when you first walk in , that would fit a table (for not only sitting but for floral arrangements ) and some shelves for things like water buckets , snips , leaf litter container , all those kind of things . Not only practical but to really "romance the ordinary " ❤

[@MissBetsyLu]

@gypsyholler Did you make that flower tunnel?

[@emblarovardotter]

That's a great idea!

[@barbeholick1521]

I agree. It would bring intimacy, wonder and a surprise with viewing each new row.

[@makers9693]

Does anyone else hold on to these garden tours for quiet uninterrupted moments in the day so they can be savored ? Not easy, but so worth it! Thanks Jess!

[@melbee1000]

Yes!

The huge satisfaction of walking down the canned goods aisle at the store and realizing the number of things I no longer buy : tomatoes, pickles, chilis, canned beans, soups, sauerkraut, pickled beets, salsas, broth, and the list goes on. Thanks, Jess!

[@barbarahasenauer2630]

How many beans does it take to can enough beans for a year? I am trying to figure out how to do this.

Me too! I don't go to the store maybe 1x month for the lil things like salt 😂

[@jeannamcgregor9967]

@@kristensmagicalcreations Every household will be different. I just buy dried beans (much cheaper) and can a batch when I need more. I canned tons of my homegrown green beans but I'm not happy with the squishy texture.

[@shockingdocumentaries4255]

@MariaCanccerYou’re not only loved. YOU ARE LOVE. Anything that makes you feel good or even relief, will lead you closer to want you want. Spoil yourself when you can. Vent when you need relief. Laugh as hard you can. (Especially if it’s at yourself)😂. Always give yourself grace. Don’t take your strength and ability to find the beauty in the pain, for granted. You’re doing better than you realize. 😘 Just the fact that you’re here able to watch this positive video is amazing. 🎉 I have to keep it real, I’m not sure I could if I was in your situation. You are FABULOUS! 😎

[@boysrus61]

Jess, just so you know, those of us who don't have chickens or roosters may really enjoy the sounds of your garden along with the sights of your refuge!

[@ehthena]

or be jealous! lol Yes, the sounds don't bother us at all. That's the life. Just as if I were to watch someone doing videos in New York City, I would expect to here NYC noise in the background. We appreciate you.

[@Zylria]

I am sure the gravel is a bit loud when editing, but I find the sound romantic when listening to it!! It paints a clear picture of you walking through the space!! I am sooooo excited to have garden tours back!!

[@Holly_at_gypsyhollergardens]

I saw the “garden tour 2023” title and clicked so fast! I’ve been loving the increase in content as your channel truly represents a way for me to escape the monotony of my life as a college student - who won’t get to be back in the garden for another several months😪

[@ellehumes9306]

I think the way the high tunnel is set up now is great for cut flowers! It looks like it would be easier to do multiple varieties and walk between the beds the way it is

[@jskingfamilyfarm1386]

I thought your chickens were my kids screaming outside...I stopped the video 3 times to check😂 Love the garden tours❤😊

[@renie847]

😅

[@FebbieG]

Since moving to the country, I've decided that almost everything sounds like a baby crying. Lol

[@Feribrat99]

@@FebbieG that used to happen to me too, I would walk outside, the kid was asleep and then the chickens would start doing that low crooning they do and I had to run inside to check Every Time, LOL. I had no money at the time and could not afford the little monitors they came out with for the kids rooms.

[@ourhomesteadclassroom]

I vote for keeping the current layout in the cut-flower tunnel and just adding boards and gravel to define the beds and suppress the weeds. I think it's more fun to meander through all the smaller beds instead of walking straight down the long "hallways" that you get with four long beds. Especially after Miah's reaction to building another long raised bed. 😁 Those longer beds can be a structural nightmare... Ask me how I know!

[@jackcsaffell5641]

A definite yes from me for high tunnel flowers. 4 parallel rows sound perfect. Can you imagine walking into the flower high tunnel and seeing rows and rows of spectacularly beautiful colors. One thing I just realized that I was waiting for during the garden tour was the peacefully serene sound of those lazy, dangling wind chimes. God bless this garden.

[@laurie570]

I can really start to see the vision for this garden now! With that view from the pergola towards the greenhouse - I was like there it is! It's the Roots and Refuge lovely garden. You had cultivated such a beautiful, life-giving space before and I can see that again at this property. Thank you for sharing this process! It gives me so much inspiration and as always, it dares me to dream a little bigger!

[@ktd3166]

I had a friend that I used to give starts to. She would admit to letting them go and not even planted them. I charge her for starts now and she actually will plant them. I think people put more into the motivation, if they’ve put something into it.

[@rivercrockett343]

I have a friend exactly like that. I have tried over decades to help her with various things to no avail, and it all goes to waste, including my time and effort. I decided several years ago she was on her own. @Kim Tiede, you are correct about the motivation!

[@lanalovesjesus6133]

Plus letting things go to seed is a way to keep seeds which is not wasteful

[@rainfalls2964]

😊 exactly... I take the seeds and throw the reat to the chickens 🐔🐓

[@ThePosyCo]

[@sharithompson1672]

Wow, Jess. The sun shining through and around the greenhouse behind you is just beautiful. I froze the video for a few moments just to appreciate it. What a wonderful backdrop to start the day. 💕

[@ninareifsnyder65]

Good afternoon Jess, I’m so excited for garden tours! We aren’t quite there yet, another week or two maybe. Just wanted to share my creative thoughts with you so here goes! If it were my high tunnel I’d do the long beds like your old one but, I would put a little table and chairs in the middle instead of the end by the door…it will draw you in to enjoy the space more and from that perspective you see everything that’s blooming. It will allow your artistic side to contemplate the bouquets without the distraction of other areas within the farm. Plus morning coffees on rainy days will be soul lifting! Hugs to you, I know you will do something amazing! ~Nina❤

[@efeminism3063]

Ahhhh I just got to the part where Jeremiah has his own channel!!! This is so exciting. Soooo dope ❤️what a great spring blessing that is. See another unexpected gift I just know it!!!!

[@leahsmarsh2378]

THE WAY I JUST SQUEALED AND ALMOST SPILT MY HOT TEA! I have missed your tours!

[@kmarshall53]

I think the long beds parallel to the long walls in the high tunnel would be so pretty! You would be able to see everything from the door and would be so lovely.

[@shannongoble5305]

Jess, you probably won't see this but I would watch a 6 hour long video if you made it. Your videos bring such joy!

[@leahness3588]

Chicken sounds are fine and gravel sounds are fine❤ real life

[@marygrott8095]

Yes, go with cut flowers in that area. As you say, "Grow something lovely.: YOU deserve it, Jess! You hane inspired me to try growing herbs for tea this year! I'm so excited.

[@suewhalen3919]

Since you asked..... LOL. I prefer four long beds, but with a break so you can get from one side to the other, without going to the very end of the row. What a gift you are!

[@W3BKY_73]

Don’t apologize for living your way of life. We are all unique, and finding our way of doing things. As a beek, I always save a portion of the garden to allow plants to bolt and flower, especially herbs. I am exhausted when I watch your channel, and my kiddos are grown and gone, so I don’t have nearly the responsibilities. Your vision is impressive and I respect all that you do and share. Thank you! Keep on being you…

[@michfamilyhomestead842]

Yay! Here in Northern AZ I still have over a month. The seedlings 🌱 are beginning to multiply and fill our grow room. ❤️ thank you for gardening with me these last 5 years

[@MissBetsyLu]

In the contaminated tunnel, u can put a narrow raised bed knee high along sides with narrow high cattle panel bench over it/them. Then set trays on it in early Spring, and cattle wire will support stems of tall flowers in summer. Still middle space for work, big pots, patio furniture, new (modest) tractors, etc.

[@justgoodness333littlehomes5]

Hey..... I'm totally here for a 3 hour R&R garden tour. 😉

[@fields-n-feathers]

[@brittanyw1817]

I love watching these ❤ this is how I found your channel back in 2018 and found out all the different varieties that are available out there.

[@metalmartha2571]

Just so you know, I’m pretty sure the majority of the people who check in for your garden tours are definitely OK with three hour videos lol♥️💜 thank you for the beautiful tour

[@claireisacamel]

My vote is keeping the current configuration for your flower tunnel. I think it’s much less demoralizing to be able to harvest short rows vs harvesting and looking down the row and thinking “oh my heavens, there’s still a mile to go” 🤣🤣 And even as flowers are glorious and beautiful, they quickly feel like they’re actively blooming as you’re harvesting because sometimes varieties (like zinnias, celosias, etc) can have SO MANY blooms per square foot!

[@kimb.536]

Good Sunday morning to you, Jess😊💕

[@Heather_At_The_Ridge]

I think the fact that you are questioning which direction to put the beds means you should change them from what you have in the other high tunnels. Listen to your instincts! Looks fabulous! Thanks for sharing!

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

You are so right!!

[@jessicakurtz837]

After listening to one of your videos a while back, I finally came to terms with the fact that feeding your animals produce you have no more use for is not waste. I used to feel so much pressure to use every single piece of every single plant that it was sometimes overwhelming. Now when I can't stand to pick one more cucumber, my chickens get to eat cucumbers. They love it and i didn't let the cucumber become a burden to me.

[@savannahmolina3725]

I literally yelled YES!!!! When I saw a garden tour video! These are how I found your channel so long ago!

[@struykfamilyfarm9587]

Rhubarb flowers are very pretty and you can still eat the stalks from the plant after it bolts. If you want to prevent it from putting all it's energy into making seeds you can just cut out the flower stalk. I usually let it get close to flowering then cut the stalk and put it in a vase indoors

[@ethelnygaard7788]

I have always enjoyed your garden tours and learn a lot from you. Please don't stop. At 76 I am still learning and will continue to learn until God takes me to tend His garden in the sky.

Love the garden tours, have you ever thought about a weekly animal tour? 🥰 Collecting eggs, checking in on the cows, pigs, birds etc especially when you have quick growing babies, like chips and piglets! ❤️

[@BootsandBountyHomestead]

😂😂 my husband asks me "so how many more garden beds are you gonna make?" SOOOO I answer him with a question "how much grass do you wanna mow?" 😂 We are currently halfway thru making our garden at our new homestead and it's been a blast!

[@nataliecartier8933]

I'm so happy to sit quietly this evening and fully take on this garden tour. Mother Nature can't seem to decide what season it is here (southern Quebec), so my gardening heart is living through you. For the cut-flower high-tunnel, I recommend trying it with your current layout for the first year. You may end up liking it, and then you wouldn't have wasted time and energy on changing something that works. I hope that helps.

[@elizabethharriott9061]

Jess, I'm so enthralled in listening to you, I don't even hear the gravel crunching beneath your feet. No big deal I think. ❤

I just found your channel. I intend to get back into my horticulture roots. I worked in the ornamental horticulture industry for 7 years while obtaining my bachelor's degree. I was burnt out and despised my own garden at home. I have been working out of the industry for over 7 years now. I am finally looking forward to my own garden and showing my kids how to enjoy the fruits of our labor. I look forward to getting some inspiration from this channel.

[@holyhummer7951]

Beautiful content and your enthusiasm is contagious ❤I think building various flower beds with large and different flowers in each, every 10 feet next to the drive road or walk way would be beautiful and provide some privacy for people driving through.🙋🏻‍♀️

[@morgankelly3132]

I think you should put a wildflower patch in that empty space next to your raised beds into transition to your in ground beds. Its so pretty to see patches of wildflowers.

It doesn't seem like anything is wasteful on your farm. You have the most gorgeous garden. I love it! Your animals are so lucky. I pray that you continue to do the good work you've been doing and have continued success in all of hour endeavors. Love your devotionals and am so amazed how much you grow. I've been twitching waiting to see all those little seedlings when they get out into your garden beds. I learn something each and every video. Thank you so much. It's like I'm walking around the farm with my good friend. I have a cup of coffee with you each time.

[@barbf5773]

Keep the beds in your cut flower greenhouse as it is. Taller plants toward the back working toward the front with shorter varieties so when you enter the greenhouse you can see everything. Each short bed will be easier to mass plant and successive plant. Maybe in the center of the short beds made a round bed that you could add a feature item (chair/fountain). When this is all planted you are going to want somewhere to sit and soak in all the color. Love it!

[@tammydavenport8228]

Love your channel you make me excited about gardening and growing stuff

[@marvelyngranger4177]

When we moved to our property a year ago, my dad and I compared our favorite and most helpful youtube channels. We quickly realized we were both talking about you and Roots and Refuge! LOL Thank you! When you line your drive with trees, can I encourage you to contact your local extension office to determine what is native to your area? Most Crepe Myrtles are not native to anywhere in the US (there is one native variety but it is only native to TX). In keeping with your passion for feeding your family and your land, I believe you would appreciate providing a native tree that will serve the pollinators and songbirds, which will in turn serve your food sources. I love your passion and dedication to sharing the journey for sustainability and real food.
