We do love our morning beverages | VLOG

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.

Ma'am you could make a video reading the back of a cereal box, and I'd show up to sit in the front row. Thanks for letting ME have a seat at your table! I feel honored to have a seat. ❤

[@mirjammclachlan2308]

Lol yes me too.

[@deniseallee2802]

[@benitad2384]

Amen!

[@Judymontel]

Yup, that's exactly right for me as well.

[@janetsandham7058]

How .lovely to say this , But a real good way of saying how u feel , I couldn't agree more , I just Love this chanel and cN sit all evening ,watching one vidio after another

[@galeharris6696]

To see your face in my list of videos, and know you have a new chat coming is so uplifting to this 70+ woman. I feel you're a friend, and talk about what's happening with you to my partner, and my friends, and I don't care if they think I don't have enough in my life or something. Because my mind is stimulated so often, and my heart is always filled when I get to visit with you, it's just that simple. I worry about your health, and love walking through your garden, just as I do all my friends, Jess. I value you, and I know you have thousands of friends like me, and I'm glad.💖

[@elizabethpayne6844]

I am so sorry when there is mean people who has a life that they don't have life to enjoy that they have to be mean to someone. I am a Nurse been a nurse since I was 20, now 65. In that time, I was yelled at, screamed,threatened, and so on sad part is that people take out their anger of their self on someone or they just like being mean, sad to say it's true. Please don't let it get at you too much, I know it's hard not to cause your kind, loving, and care about others. So I love you, kindness, gardens, and things that you and your spouse share ❤️. I BLESS YOU ELIZABETH

[@hummingbirdforestgarden]

What a beautiful comment.💕

[@erikas974]

Well said "my friend".❤🫂

[@AllegraRiley]

I am also 70+, and I couldn’t have said this better! Thanks Gale!

[@LittleHomesteadOnHinerPond]

I’m 70 and feel the same 😊

[@susanwright3843]

You brought tears to my eyes. This lonely woman finds so much joy in your videos, especially when you welcome us into your family's life like you did this morning. It means a lot to know that you care enough to just share time with us. You're greatly appreciated! Big love to you and that sweet family. ❤❤❤

[@mollyschmit9350]

I absolutely love Aldi. I will admit it took me awhile to get used to shopping there but I made myself keep going back and each visit I committed to trying one new item. That was about 8 years ago and now I shop almost exclusively there. On the occasion that I have to stop by a different grocery store I am always amazed at how much more expensive groceries are at the other grocery stores. Aldi has saved our family so much money over the years and has been a real blessing with the crazy rate of inflation the past few years. On a side note, thank you for inviting us to your table. I truly believe your channel not only offers wonderful gardening knowledge but it also provides a much needed sense of community.

[@gaysullivan1942]

I’m with you, it took me awhile to get used to Aldi but now it’s a go to for shopping.

[@patriotmama]

I am the same way. Took me a while to get used to it but in our rural area (I am saying a 45 mile radius from my house) we have Aldi and Walmart and one,,,,,,,,,yep just ONE grocery store. Our nearest Sam's club (no Costco for miles and miles) is a 100 mile round trip for us. So, I shop Aldi almost exclusively. I love their produce and many things. I still shop Walmart for a few things, but not many. Wish we had a Costco close by. We raise all of our own meat and butcher it and in the summer I have fresh veggies in our garden. I also do a lot of canning so there is that and I make my own bread. No Azure Standard drop near us either. We are basically " out in the middle of nowhere".

[@MariaGinop]

Agreed 😊 Aldi is my go to for fast in, fast out on the basics.

[@nancygrant6442]

This 68 year old finds comfort in your posts. I enjoy sitting and drinking my coffee while you talk about life and dreams. It helps remove me from the ugliness and hate that engulfs so many. I allow my self to get washed up in your garden chores and everyday living.

[@lindap9079]

Gotta share my ALDI story. We don't have ALDI in the Pacific Northwest. I've read about them many times on Money Conscience Blogs. When I went to the Abundance + event last year, I was driving somewhere when I saw my 1st ALDI. I quick did a U-turn and went in to see what all the hype was about. I photographed pomegranates that were 99 cents each. They are nearly 3X that here. The other thing that left an impression was how small the store was.

[@youngchronicpain]

Funnily enough, this is the first video of yours I've watched in a long while. Not because I stopped liking your videos, just because life got complicated and I started to neglect my garden. I also lost a good friend that I used to watch your videos with. But I've recently started getting my hands dirty again, and I felt the call of your video today. I think it is important to remember that something doesn't necessarily have to have a lesson to be meaningful. This morning I couldn't sleep because of my chronic pain and watching your video felt like visiting an old friend. Comfortable and kind and just what I needed. ❤

[@jackvotes24]

You being you is the best. Down to earth. Consistency is important.

[@scofieldfarm]

I love how watching your channel (usually while I am paying bills and updating my checkbook and planner for the week) is like having a sit down conversation with you and catching up... one of my favorite things about you! Keep doing the real videos - it is one of your strengths!

[@whispersofwillowpixi]

💜 this was the little side hug I needed from a friend tonight 🥺

[@jIlLiAnganz]

YES! 100% here for the everyday type of content. You have been such a light in my life Jess. God has used you to speak into my life countless times through gardening, being a mom, and the life lessons you share from a poetic heart that feels so kindred. Thank you for being you. Thank you for showing up consistently. I feel you mark the path well. I just turned 30 (my birthday is a few days before yours!) and I have a 2.5 year old daughter who loves watching your videos with me BTW, plus a baby boy due in about a month. So inspired to enter 2024 with what I've learned from you and see God doing in your life. If He can do all that He is through you and Miah, surely He is a God who can use me and my family too. Legacy is my focus this year!

[@triciajones7033]

Perfectly said!

[@michellewelch6013]

I love your everyday! Your sweet family is precious. These days are amazing, and so so brief. Thank you for sharing everything. I bless YOU until next time. Amen.

[@fuzzytale]

what a pretty kitty, and your everyday and your family are gorgeous and wonderful

[@JadeAngel33]

Been listening to you all day and when the new video popped up I had to click on it. I love your videos, thank you!

[@patriotmama]

I love your "everyday". Makes me smile. So happy for you and Miah getting really started on the house. I am so excited to watch it grow as he builds your peaceful place.

[@yolandarussell3456]

Thanks for sharing you and yours with us. I like the simple vlogs about nothing as much as the garden tours and they are my favorite.

[@rhondaschenk5727]

Love your videos, whether it’s just a chat or something more “valuable.” I feel the chats are more inviting and interesting but regardless I am always appreciative of any video that you spend time doing for us! Love you! ❤

[@jenniferstafford1514]

I could write a book! Please don't stop your current content, I love, love, love your platform and I know thousands of us do! And I can not say don't change, I am saying that you pick what day what topic, then the next day take us to a delivery of a calf, show us your children smiling and having fun. Absolutely you could add different content, and WE ARE GOING TO LOVE YOU ANYWAY!! Never put all of your eggs in one basket 😮. You, my friend, are incredibly intuitive to your family, animals, and 2 business + Jeremiahs.you roll and be surprised when your group follows you everywhere and on major topics but you got this!!!! Try it if you don't like it, well there is s lot to fall back on!!! You are super grounded...I am not nervous, I am excited to get any content, this is MY BLESSING to get to see you!!!

[@krex1970]

I love what you do, keep being you, it's the genuine feelings that you project that bring people back.

[@theheardhomestead]

What I can really appreciate about this video is the boys and their innocence and sweet young voices. My boys are now 23 and 18 with super deep voices and I miss their youth and sweet little voices. Luckily God blessed us with one more and we have a 3yr old girl. We cherish every single moment of her laughs and giggles and her sweet voice saying Mama is EVERYTHING to me😊❤

[@leebrown6505]

We care about your everyday. Love listening to you.

[@sharonglassner1421]

I love today's video with the everyday happenings with the boys. It's much like what you used to do way back when I started to watch you. Just Jess, Miah ,and the kids being a loving family. Please give us more day to day and I love the cooking on Farmer's Table and Miah's Workshop!!!! Hugs to all of you:):):):) P.S. Our temperature today is -33 degrees and this frost tender flower is in need of some Beulah coffee....lol! BRRRRRR

[@steveegbert7429]

Jess, what you say about a seat at your table is what drew me in when I accidentally found your channel way back in your early days when I was looking for cattle panel trellis ideas. I've been here ever since because I knew you were real, as transparent as safety and privacy allows, and above all a beloved Sister in Christ. Bless you, from soggy Oregon!

[@katherinethousand2382]

I love your chatty videos, even when it isn’t “useful”. You remind me so much of my best friend and it’s comforting in a weird way! ❤😂

[@d14551]

I love spending some time at you table, thanks!

[@thelittleenginethat]

I've shopped at Aldi since I lived in Germany 30 years ago. I was so happy when it opened stores in the states

[@soymilkmuse]

Awe, I do love your authenticity and the glimpses you share of your everyday life! There's no shame in a mess, because it means you're living! As much as it would be nice to have a sparkling clean and organized home, I'm not willing to pay the price it would cost. With my energy levels, I'd much prefer time with my partner, kids, and grandkids, my garden, chickens, and crafts 😉😉😂😂💕💕

[@cathysmiley6798]

Thanks Jess! I haven’t been to a Starbucks in 7 years ❤️ You are golden!

[@wandarutledge4260]

I love your style and love your thoughts all the smiles

[@dianamcanally5515]

Glad you mentioned the Moka Pot. I've used one every morning for years and highly recommend, especially if you don't have a lot of counter space. You can frequently spot them in thrift stores and they're practically indestructable plus replacement gaskets and grounds funnels can be ordered very reasonably.

[@brokentoyland]

I agree: It's time for more of that." I love these types of videos best. Random, be yourself, and worry less about the naysayers.

[@lyndalwestblade9358]

Yes, more of just chatting. I love hanging out with you.

[@The.gardentalk]

Hello Jess ❤ 2 videos in 1 day? You're spoiling us. 😊

[@Dawnbolduc44]

Love your videos, Jess! I will share one of my favorite quotes with you "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent" Eleanor Rosevelt.

[@kj8214]

Love both your channels! Thank you!

[@caseydoodlegirlartforte2569]

Aldi brands adopted a natural food dye only which I have always been impressed with. I miss having an Aldi close to me. The closest is 1.5 hours away and I still make that drive that sometimes.

[@clm3436]

Shut in due to storm here. So I've been cooking my way through a cookbook👍 started in case we lost power, but surprised I had so much on hand so I just keep cooking☺️ I guess I'm more prepared than I thought😉

[@barbarahasenauer2630]

Jess, every video and I mean every video you do is valuable. You uplift people with this kind of video as much as your teaching videos. You teach us , you make us ponder, wonder, laugh and most of all smile along with you. One of your biggest gifts is that we all consider you a true friend even having not met you. ❤😊

[@deechudy8144]

Exactly ❤

[@triciajones7033]

Agree!!

[@drendahalbert8510]

I just recently found your channels!! I’m loving it! I find lots of value to what you are sharing… more than you know!

[@Seasoncromwell]

I love your everyday thoughts. Thank you. I don't need you to say everything I agree with to appreciate you. Now that I think of it though...... I can't think of a time where I was like NOPE. Either way. I'm here for it.

[@Seasoncromwell]

PS I like how you formulate your thoughts. Even the tangent bus.

[@CynthiaHollenberger]

I love my Moka pot for espresso"ish" drinks. Cold brew is a staple in our home in the summer.

[@michellenoel2725]

Yes, keep it up Jess! I like the everyday stuff, you being real is why we are here!

[@gracefulcat68]

aldi can be great for things you don't expect.. lol! their downside is inventory is temporary. can't speak (type) for everyone, but i tend to watch yt channels because of what i learn from creators. even if its considered boring family stuff, there are always different dynamics to be learned.. you're real, jess. stay that way.

[@brendaduncan7272]

I love your video

[@peggybrowne6012]

I love your gardening videos and seeing what's happening with your future house planning, all the animal antics and just your beautiful shots of your homestead. But I really love when your children are part of it. It has been so much fun to watch them grow. You are such an encourager and a great teacher. It was fun to watch them in the kitchen making their own drinks. You're a great Mom!

[@StacyM-mf7xz]

I love having a seat at your table. You are a light in this dark world. Keep shining. ❤

[@LoveGrowLiveFree]

Before I even watch this - THANK YOU! It's been such a challenging 2 weeks!. My dad fell multiple times so I flew home from Cancun to California to be with him. Things initially were really bad with malnourishment and extreme dehydration but we got news from the doctor today all's wrong is some lower back pain because I have been pumping him with food and electrolytes that he's finally eating and without me cajoling prompting or something. So when I opened up my KZbin after I just got him to bed I said JESS!! GIMME SOME JESS N MIAH!! And here you are 🥹🙏🥰 so grateful ❤❤

[@slighthouse1]

I love your at home videos!!! You may not think you are providing value but you are. Wholesome day to day family life is the most valuable and it reminds us to treasure life. 😊

[@anitakenepp2675]

You are such a breath of fresh air! I would watch you pick a dandelion if that’s all you had to film. Keep on girl! I’ll always be here supporting you 🥰

[@samanthathomas4327]

Ooo lucky us a lil late night blog from Jess 🥰

[@jeanannoshea809]

I have kids in their 30's and 40's, believe me, the day will come when you miss the time when everyone was milling around in the kitchen with you. I remember the first time I saw one of your videos, at the end I thought, "Wait, did she say, 'I bless you.' "I rewound it twice and listened to it. I thought, "Well that's nice." So I just want to say I bless you.

[@suewhalen3919]

I think I speak for many of your friends, that we would rather watch you make a cup of tea and plant seeds than not at all. So many of us are living vicariously through you!

[@DavidDavis-fishing]

Gooood evening from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great night!

[@breesaves]

I agree that just a little chit chat with a friend is important. It makes us little people feel like we matter in the big picture of the KZbins. More personal. Plus who doesn't love learning about beverages lol

[@debrasaints3809]

You’re not alone with the attention problem! Sometimes my daughter says “squirrel” to get me back on track, hahaha! I use phone notes, calendar reminders (both phone and actual), and multiple phone alarms daily! Well, you know what they say, “smart minds think alike”! Albeit scattered ones 😉❤️🙏🏼

[@suehill6194]

It is so valuable! I love pulling up a stool by your kettle! Thank you and your family for allowing us in! ❤️☕️

[@Blondinationjoe]

I have been following since 2018, since those summer garden walk throughs (I still revisit those from time to time). I’m not someone who comments often but want to transmit to you the impact you’ve had on my mental health. How inviting us to your table has made me smile and giggle but also made me reflect and look deeper into my soul. A simple “tag along” through videos, podcasts, blogs or books has brightened my years for almost 6 years. Thank you. ❤️ PS: May this be the comment that comes back to you later, not the mean one.

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

Thank you ♥️♥️

[@karenm5681]

Yes. Agreed.✅

[@cultivating_home]

I buy one of those planners every year and use it for a whole week! Last time almost 2 weeks! 🤣🤣

[@beckisublett7287]

I’ve never been a big Aldi fan but I’ve gone there a few time lately and got some good deals on goat and sheep cheese. I also got this little dome greenhouse house that fits over my green stalk. It’s been awesome.

[@blessedchaoshomestead]

Thanks for sharing. Seeing how your guys all made their drinks made me realize I need to loosen up & give some free reign (with supervision) to my olders. Also the saying hi to the seedlings & booping the beets! Quality content! At least I'm not the only gardener who talks to their seedlings like they're babies! haha Thanks Jess! Keep it real!

[@jackiewarnat8051]

I love watching your channel and i have learned so much from you about gardening and cooking from scratch. Keep on videoing and we will all keep watching! Thank you Jess!

[@jennahelton7412]

I love learning from you, but I also love just "hanging out" with you. Your words are valuable no matter what they are.

[@weaverbee2808]

I want to get a milk frother now….my husband is going to disagree with this wish. Maybe I need a mocha pot? For the 6 times a year I drink coffee 😂 My hubby and I are both tea drinkers!! But for some reason our kids just love iced coffee!! The oldest is 10!

[@ginnysulya9805]

Aldi is my store of choice because I can get a good 5 bags of groceries for $100.

[@jackiewarnat8051]

we buy at Aldi's frequently😊

[@annhendrick8681]

Hey cater to me always Jess!

[@reneethompson523]

I love these kind of videos! Real life. Thanks for sharing the small moments with us!

[@jshanline]

Your vlogs are my calm in the storm of all that is life. Just keep being Jess.

[@lindawoody8501]

When we lived in Florida we enjoyed Aldi. No Aldi near us at all. Same for no Trader Joe's which is a sister company to Aldi (Two brothers each developed-owned the entire chain of Aldi and Trader Joe's). Glad you had Malia with you and the boys got to see her and of course Jeremiah got to spend precious time with his daughter. I like 99% of all your videos and like this one a lot! Be encouraged.

[@kj2183]

Bless you. You bring me joy all the time. I’m grateful

[@lettyschlieper7410]

Every Day Counts. Keep the Faith. Steadfast. Press On. You Are Cherished.🌻

[@christineloungo6160]

❤ Jess, I have been watching you for years now! I'm 71 and have been gardening since my 20s, but I had so many questions and you have been my favorite teacher since watching! When I'm chit-chating about gardening I'll say, "Jess said ... " to the point that you are now part of the family 😊 My daughter will ask "what did Jess say, or what did Jess do?" I watch you every day, and sometimes it is just to relax with my cup of tea, and you have yours and we stroll to your greenhouse to see who we can wish Happy Birthday! So thanks so much for caring and sharing! God bless you ALL down there on the farm!❤

[@marycountry]

This is so true

[@barbarakarman8427]

You have so many wonderful friends on KZbin, let those that don’t enjoy your content just move on to something that interest them. WE LOVE YOU THE WAY YOU ARE❤

[@mckennamontcalm]

I'm a homeschool mom who just had her second baby 9 months ago, living in the depths of the frozen tundra known as Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Most days, your videos are my friendship. The Facebook group is my entertainment. Never discount that! ❤

[@sarabethhuddleston7001]

Your everyday is not only valuable, but precious, as you project friendship and love through your words, voice, honesty and information. I don’t want to see an “influencer’s” supposedly perfect environment, etc. I want real life, real connection, real sharing. Thank you for providing that.

[@hopewellinfo3321]

Thank you so much for your morning glimpse of your beautiful family. It’s really delightful to see the joy you share. Simple things are the best things. A cup of warm tea, hot coffee or chilled cold coffee. Thank you for sharing you. It’s 7° where I live and I’m preparing to go out to do chores. I watched you while I tidied up my kitchen, have a beautiful day! May God bless you richly!❤

[@samburton2978]

I totally get what you're saying about critics disproportionately affecting you. I have been a pastor for 45 years, and preaching even longer. I could have 200 people say, thank you. That message really blest me. One person could say, that sermon was awful. And that one criticism will haunt me the rest of the day, and will terrorize my sermon prep the next week. Listen Jess, you have no idea how much your channel fed me during our last tour in Scotland. You were how I kept up on homesteading in America. You, Miah and the kids. It's like watching my family, and we've never actually met. Thank you very much for what you do.

[@schex9]

I make cold brew coffee for iced coffee. I bought a fine mesh bag and a glass pitcher. Brew overnight and pour over ice with a bit of liquid Splenda and some HWC.

[@missnicola1116]

Nothing you have ever shared has been triggering, offensive, or worth a SINGLE bad feeling. I watch you so much because I DO feel that you care. You inspire, and even if you don’t have a particular nugget of wisdom on one day you turn the camera on, you approach your conversation with such lovely words. I could go on. Never change 🫶🏼

[@JessicaBlalock101]

❤❤ I think I’m the one who shared that planner in the Facebook group (fan girls a bit). I’m so glad you found one!! We currently have about 5” of snow on the ground in west Tennessee so I’m spending the next few days setting up my planner and getting my stuff ready to start brassica seeds and plan my summer garden. ❤️❤️ Y’all stay warm!

[@lisakromelbein6419]

I understand that you will probably never see this comment! I am a patreon. Do I ever comment on your lives or even on your videos? NO! Tonight on the almost birthday of my firstborn son it was a joy to watch your young boys enjoying their morning beverage. My son is 33 today. I was a single mom for a while. I understand the struggle. Thanks for sharing your life with us and bringing us joy!!❤

[@thekaylornator]

Hi Jess! I would love to see another "Devotional VLOG". I haven't seen one from you in a long time and I know you have your own office now, which, I believe, might be a great place to create one of those from you to many of us. As always!

[@wendyjonasen9746]

I think Aldi is a great place to bless someone in the parking lot via the cart system. Someone older & less mobile then me...someone that's about to get their child from the cart to the carseat...."I'll buy your cart from you (25 cents)." I take their cart & they don't have to walk back to the store. AND Aldi has very good chocolate. 😁

[@sharonhuelsman]

I don’t know why but I got tears in my eyes when you said “I really care about you”. Thank you for sharing and caring, Jess!

[@DarkQueen619]

My fun Aldi story from this week! I have a little girl who just turned two. Now she is primarily with me so we do almost all of our family grocery shopping together. We regularly shop at Aldi. Well for various reasons we hadn't been to Aldi for almost a month. So when I took her out of the car at Aldi a few days ago and she threw both of her little hands in the air and s said "Yay Aldi!". She then made sure that I was excited too her little "Mommy like Aldi?" Melted my heart. Kids are so precious.

[@consultingdesign0225]

No Aldi's here in NS Canada. But there wasn't Walmart nor Home Depot nor Costco and now there is....sooooo time will tell!

[@hillarybanta3729]

I may not be someone you know one on one but I value being accepted into your world. Sometimes the everyday life videos mean more to me than all the videos where I’ve learned something. Yes we all need to grow gardens and do the self sufficient life style.. but some days.. we just need a friend who’s encouraging us in ways they don’t even know about. That’s Gods hand. I love your friendship and your family.

[@thepraticalgardener]

Dear heart, The reason we all love you like we do is because you are reflecting each and every one of us in one way or another. The gardener, the mom, the wife, the insecure, the boldly brave chick, the worrier, the warrior, the vulnerable, the creative soul, the hot mess on some days, and the "holy cow! How did I do all that?" kinda woman. Please don't let the negative people in this world steal our sunshine! Thank you for being real for all of us, it lets us all know it's ok to let our hair down and do the same. Thank you for showing up every day that you do. I appreciate you.

[@karalockwood7]

Love your videos! Bring such a joy!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@crystalstephens7602]

I found you this summer and have listening to your older videos while winter sewing in Va 7b. Just in time for the snow with yummy coffee drinks and now infused teas I received as a gift. So nice to hear you laugh and inspire me on a cold night.

[@kimdavidson7925]

I smile everytime I see that I have one of your videos to watch! Whether it is a how to or a chat, it makes no difference. Your calm and inviting demeanor is so awesome that I can't wait to hear/see what you have in store for us!! Thanks Jess!!

[@willowhillhomestead2022]

Thank you for your cluttered countertop! I always feel so inadequate when I watch lots of videos of others working in the kitchen and their kitchens are so "neat". Thank you for giving me a hug in that very moment!

[@deborahmeyer-y4m]

I love your everyday chats and sharing and seeing your boys. Never stop doing that. It warms my heart.

[@chantellealdridge6916]

im one of your silent viewers as ive watched you for over 4 years. please dont question your content its valid and relavant as well as informative. just thought you should know

[@Wildevis]

So lovely to see your day to day and I do not care about the mess, most creative people have a hard time keeping things perfectly tidy and I make no excuses anymore. I like to see my projects out, waiting for me to continue or finish and that is what I'm like

[@musicianswife8596]

I appreciate how you mention not needing to worry about criticism and your almost immediately put in a situation where you have to partially show your bedroom which you’ve previously proclaimed to be too messy for sharing with the audience.

[@falinegallagher1218]

I remember the days of taking my daughter to the airport at the end of breaks and the emptyness in my heart when she hugged me bye. It is such a weird combination of grief of the leaving you but proud of what they are learning and the amazing humans they have become. I love drinking my coffee while watching you it is like a impromptu coffee date with an old friend.

[@AlisonV362]
