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.

Take 2 benedryl before going to bed so you do not itch at night.
Is there a link to his channel?
I don't often comment, but just wanted to say, when dealing with health stuff with my son, I ended up watching a video by Christina Kuzmic, and she talked about adding "right now" to the end of the negative thoughts you have. So when you think, this is really hard.. Right now. I can't see how this is going I get better (I can't see it right now) etc. It really helped me in some of my challenging times. I know you don't want advice, but I'm hoping mental health advice is different than physical health advice since it doesn't oppose anything you're doing. I wish you good mental health for your physical health journey!
All our best to you dear Jess, and to your family. Deep talk about wellness, wholeness, perseverance and strength followed by "alright, let's go garden." That's our girl right there! Do what feels right to you. This fan base isn't going anywhere.
So sorry for your health issues. Prayers and wishes for a resolution and good health asap.
Take care hun. Do what's best for you. Get well soon.
I wish for you health and wellness and a chance to be free of that. My son has it and it is very uncomfortable. I hope you and your team help you soon. Praying will happen at my house for you!
Jess, my Mum broke out in terrible eczema about 15 years ago – I so feel for you! It is a frustratingly consuming ailment, for sure. I'm sure you and your trusted advisers will do everything to lay a solid path to wellness, and I'm glad you have the space to be gentle with your body while it sorts things out. Much love!
I’m sorry your not feeling well. The Lord knows all the details. I will be praying for you.
Still beautiful. Bumps and all. Soul and everything. You know what is best for you and there is so much noise in the world. Chew the meat and spit out the bone when it comes to advice. My two kiddos and myself have eczema. We find it becomes more prevalent in the changing of seasons. Maybe just something to keep in mind. ❤
For you, and your precious family's future health:
Jess you have the power within, we all do!
You are being bombarded with love, BUT PLEASE READ this – if you can possibly bare to, and can spare the time – it will change your life, and that of your precious family.
* All in 100% radical change. No fabs, no "…." diets, just no nonsense whole food plant based organic fueling up.
* No meat, no dairy, no eggs, no (min olive oil, or a drop of avo oil for frying, but not necessary), no salt, no sugar, 100% organic i.e. no processed foods, so NO chemicals – no labels so you don't need to understand the misleading terms given to chemicals to disguise them, no alcohol. You just experienced that issue with your high tunnel soil, no! So don't put it in your body hey! Seems tough, it ain't because it works and a healthy, super well life is the ultimate goal and surely what the Lord would wish.
* Sorry dear it's a vegan, whole foods, clean pure diet with lots of cleansing fibre (or is that fiber 🙂 – your body (and mind) will thank you and you will feel FANTASTIC, every day – and quickly (took me 2 weeks to feel a material change and for ailments to drip away. Stop putting the wrong fuels into it and it will perform magnificently.
* I speak from experience , DEATH BED to FULL POWER! Cold turkey, all in, 100% change in what I ate / drank. (I'm an Aussie, now thriving on Vancouver Island, so I'm qualified to discuss the drinking issue :). I so wish I new sooner.
For SIMPLE, NO NONSENSE, easy to UNDERSTAND commentary and guidance:
– Dr. JOEL FUHRMAN
– FOOD REVOLUTION NETWORK, John and Ocean Robbins
There are many but these are superb guides, (and they will lead you many others speaking great simple words, but you need to start somewhere) and they are fact based and non fad proven pedigree performers, and a wonderful powerhouse of simple common sense. You will quickly get a feel for their genuineness by watching their generous discussions on this content platform.
* It's actually very simple and basic, but sadly the modern world has taken the message and made it confusing. With their guidance, and my unwavering commitment to "all in", I have repaired and never been healthier / happier. I have assembled a daily / weekly / etc meal agenda that gets the right goods in, and is efficient to assemble (for the home garden, and in that respect you have that element nailed 🙂
It's tough talk but you have 2 choices, 'muddle on' tweeking here and there, or ALL IN change followed by repair.
Best of luck.

Hey Jess, my boyfriend works for a company that has developed a light therapy device geared toward treating eczema and psoriasis as an alternative to medications. Maybe something you could use.
Hi, enjoy your channel & sweet Myah’s input too. Years and years ago, with a bleeding cracked skin bout of eczema we were advised to use pHisoderm for any washing of the body. ///. Be still, dear one, and listen… Our God is an Awesome God! Prayers!
I was having autoimmune issues, uticaria with skin problems and it ended up being from a preservative called sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate. It's in regular pop, drink mixers, salad dressings, some salsa, margarine pickles, soya sauce, coffee shop syrups and just a ton of foods but only some brands. Once I eliminated it completely, I got better. Prayers for your healing.
I hope you get well soon..I join your hopefulness….. I too been having weird breakouts on my skin (my arms mostly) of late …. doctor said it was contact dermatitis and that I would have too really pay attention to what is causing the rashes…. at first I thought it was it was certain plants like okra and pumkin vines….those itch but I didn't get new spots coming out…. I started noticing everytime I was potting up or plant new seeds I would get these tiny little bumps that would multiply and itch like crazy… its the compost…. WHAT EVER IS IN THIS STORE BOUGHT COMPOST…..ITS EATING ME……speechless!
Jess, why did you allow Sweet Mia to cut his hair like that? He shaved off half of his "sexy"! SMH He is still a 9 out of 10, but BEFORE he was an 11 1/2! LOL
So sorry that you are facing health issues Jess – I hope you find some answers soon.
I'm sure you know this already, please ditch the gluten and dairy. It can cause soooo many different problems, especially gluten. Maybe with your frequent bread making things have gotten worse. Another thing is mold, people associate it with old houses, but it can show up anywhere, inside the drywall etc in a humid climate, it's sneaky.
