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.

  1. Seeing Will in this video and all his smarts got me thinking, "I wonder how BenTERN has been doing". I remember he was going to be getting into his own homesteading more before you moved. Any updates Jess?

  2. Love seeing the progress on the orchard. I will have to try the pit swales for my orchard I started this year. It has a good slope. I was thinking of just doing a small channel in front of the mulch but the pit may be better. Thanks for the idea!

  3. Aside from planting grafted varieties, don’t be afraid to save some of those grocery store peach pits, apple seeds, etc. and toss those into the mix. It’s a game of roulette but that’s how new varieties are formed!
