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.

Great vlog …loved the harvest and the slow quiet pace. So glad you got good production out of some of the high tunnel plants! ❤️ Looking forward to seeing how you process them
Your last video was quite, beautiful and peaceful, lovely ……
Every morning when I wake up, I open up my bedroom window that faces into the garden, it brings me peace and hope for another beautiful day, because of you this is happening for me, I appreciate your thoughts.
make some cowboy candy with them

Got my "Land to heal" sticker today! I put it on my back window on my truck. Tried blistered shishitos. Got a painfully hot one. Done with that. Keep the recipes coming! Jes from AR
I made hot sauce with my hot ones. A fermented one & a vinegar based one. I tasted the fermented one & love it. The vinegar based one got pushed to the back of the fridge, so I'll have to dig it out in a couple of days to taste. When I'm ready to bottle them, I'll purée to liquid. I am drying some to grind for seasoning & chopping & freezing some to throw in whatever I'm cooking beit omelets, fried potatoes, soups or casseroles.
You can do many more of these, we all need purposeful slow moments
Hi Jess! You asked for some hotsauce recipes. Here is a link to a version of Sriracha sauce that I make and sell. It's super good, so I hope you get some benefit from this. My wife and I love to watch your channel…Keep the great videos coming! 🙂

Beautiful and serene x thank you for sharing
Please watch picking hot peppers and then petting a horse's sensitive nose.
I just lacto fermented a few gallons of banana, mild and hot peppers.
I don't grow hot peppers, but with sweet ones I roast them and preserve them in olive oil or I slice them in half seed them and freeze them.
First and only hot sauce I ever made was Acer homestead's Sriracha that I made with my first ever home grown peppers that where green Serranos but that's what I had and I made one bottle and gave it for a gift I hope to do more one day
absolutely loved this video, Jess. long time follower, I love all your videos but this one was right up my alley <3
There is information overload nowadays, and I love and appreciate the slow and peaceful….
Jess that’s the style of apron I’ve been looking for. Is it any good? Was looking for a pattern to make one. Did you purchase it? If so could you tell me where please .
Meg Hollar also dehydrates her peppers and powders them to use as a umami flavoring in soups and stews. She just does them as a mix. I imagine you could freeze dry them and powder that too.
You could smoke them & make chipotle, or dehydrate / freeze dry then ground up to make a spicy pepper powder.
Love the video. Peaceful. Consider making Ristras since the holidays are coming up. I am in Texas (with NM ties as well.) We make them during this time for gifts, especially, to display your abundance. It is a drying and preserving method as well as beautiful.
I just put up 3 qts. and 1 1/2 pint jars of hot sauce.
Can you not smoke and dry the peppers? Ie like chipotle ancho guajillo peppers? Add great notes to cooking. Sweet chilli sauce is another idea.
You could also make and freeze jalapeño poppers.
I’d love to see you do a video about the compost teas you guys make!
Sweet, lovely hard working lady.
GOOD luck.
God bless.
