- 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.

That picture of Socks among the buttercup needs to be made into a sticker! What a beauty.
That’s an adoreable idea
or a mug!
Or a T-shirt
Or all of the above
Yes!! So cute
Couple things: First, we were in the path of totality here in northern Maine, and it was amazing...awe-inspiring and very emotional, which I didn't expect. We didn't see crescent shadows here, we had elongated shadows, which made your shadow on the ground look much taller than it ever does. within about 15 minutes the temperatures dipped about 15 degrees and it was like early nighttime. Very eerie, but also overwhelming and miraculous. Isn't nature amazing?!?! Secondly, as far as living intentionally, my children are grown, but I have my elderly mother living with me, and with her fragility, it is more important than ever to make sure that the things we are consuming are healthful and "real". Please don't ever be afraid of calling food without processing and additives and chemicals real, no matter what the comments say. When they are selling foods made with wood pulp, people need to be informed!
Fort Smith, AR was total, it got dark and the stars came out. The cricket started singing and the birds were quiet. The whole experience was awesome. God gives us such a wonderful show!!
I was lucky enough to be in the path of totality and it was AWESOME! There’s really no way to capture how eerie the light gets. Shadows were just plain creepy during totality.
And how the temp dropped immediately!
Here too. So totality that it was dark for a couple minutes. The birds went quiet and there was an eerie ness. It was almost like twilight that is how dark it got. Our family is scattered but all within the path of totality so we were texting and sending pics. The local village was packed with 1000s of people not from here. I had to go to the post office so I was glad the parking out front was blocked off for customers. 😅 The next one on this path is in about 400 years so it was a great once in a lifetime event to share.
Only partial here but 20 minutes away. TOTAL. I noticed straight away the daylight change out the window, no birds, and it cooled off big time. Blue sky yet the colour was just eerie. It’s like the moon was to my towns left - giving us everything except the full covering - I ended up turning on the light too.
I missed this one but I got to see the one in 2017 here in Oregon, directly in the path of totality with friends in a remote part of the state away from the crowds. Such an amazing and memorable experience! The light was just unlike anything normal.
75% totality near SAVANNAH GEORGIA
Austin TX was in the path of totality. It was eerily beautiful. All of the birds that were chirping instantly stopped.....it brightened up and we all started cheering. I am in healthcare and we took some of the patients outside to witness it.
New Braunfels TX! Was out gardening when it happened. I didn't expect to be able to see much because of the cloud cover but it was pretty neat! Got much darker than I expected.
I was in the hospital because I had a seizure Monday morning (I have a neurological disorder) and I was glad that my kids and husband got to go see it after I was stabilized. It was really cloudy in East Tennessee and we weren’t in totality, but still cool from the pictures 😊
I love how Asher is fully committed to robe life.❤
There is a convenience of cooking food and not having to trade my time, gas, and energy to go to a restaurant and spend a fortune for a sub par product. Having the ability to prepare food is truly a blessing. I raise a small garden and give extra to my neighbor and relatives. I really appreciate your videos on your farmers table channel and another youtube channel Acre Homestead. You ladies are a blessing.
We drove an hour to Thayer missouri and watched the total eclipse. It lasted a little over 4 minutes and it was beautiful. I finished chemo in January and wasn’t sure I would get to see it. I am very thankful I got to experience it with my daughter and some family.
Socks is quite the handsome guy! So glad all is well. ❤
You are so right about our food. I can remember my Grandma (born in 1912) saying, “if we didn’t grow it, we didn’t eat it”. Also, remember growing up as a kid and momma and daddy planting a huge garden every year. We bought quite a bit at the store but a whole lot less than the average household now a days. Trying to get back to it myself.
Thankful to have a Mennonite community close by to supplement what I can’t do.
We live just outside the path of totality by a few hours so we took the kids and went camping to be in the path of totality. We camped at a farm and it wasn't the super crowded craziness due to the camp location we chose. It was nice and man, that was an experience. The birds going up to roost, viewing the eclipse without the need of glasses, the temperature drop...all of it. I will never regret spending the time and making the arrangements to go.
Jess it IS hard to constantly grow, cook and eat healthy food.
But we choose it because we know the alternative is full of chemicals and toxins
That’s what drives me.
Plus I really enjoy gardening! It’s peaceful. Grounding.
Have a wonderful week!
❤🤟
That's so sweet that you are showing the people who couldn't see the eclipse! I was ssooooo lucky to be in Vermont, (along with about 160,000 visitors) and was able to share the eclipse with my partner and his family, friends, my son and his friends, and a few other folks who stopped on the road outside my house to watch. At the moment of totality, everyone went quiet, and it was like night. The birds started roosting, all our robins and nuthatches and such. The sun was AMAZING, and we could see the flares around the edges, some were gold and yellow, and a few were red! It was a very emotional moment. It felt very LARGE, like we were one with the universe and after all the flooding last year, and the long, hard winter, Mother Nature was gifting us with something so incredible. It was only a minute and 45 seconds, but it was so still. then, it started getting light again. I know you know Morgan Gold, and he put up a really neat video about his farm, and how the animals there reacted. He's about 45 minutes away from our farm. Bless you for sharing your experience with us, Jess. Little Socks is adorable.💕
The calf laying in the flowers was too much. 🥰 Also, amen to the constant course correction. It’s so worth it. We get easily deceived by convenience but it’s such a lie. It always feels so good to get back to doing things the good way!
We were lucky to drive to a place with total solar eclipse! Enon, Ohio. With family! 💜
New calf! 💙
We’re just one town over! Small world!
We got 99.9%. Was amazing. I’ve never seen or experienced anything like it. Try to get to a totality sometime in your life!!!
We drove about an hour north of where we live in southwest Ohio to see totality without the clouds. It was absolutely amazing. I am in awe of God's masterpiece. Congratulations on your new calf. Hope you all had an amazing time camping.
In Montréal, Québec, Canada, we were fortunate enough to have a total eclipse. Wow! What a show!
I am in my mid 60s and realizing I'm not able to keep the pace I once did. Cooking dinner seasonally from scratch has been a challenge. I find myself wanting to grow the food and hand it off to someone else. I can't imagine how it must have been for women who not only had the meals to grow, prep and cook--they had to do EVERYTHING from scratch. Can you imagine meal prep on laundry day?? They probably got up before daylight to start the fire in their wood stove to fix breakfast, heat water to wash dishes and laundry, bake bread and biscuits,--we are so spoiled with our modern appliances! Imagine life without paper towels! They probably had a whole load of laundry in just greasy kitchen towels. It made sense to have large multi-generational households. Wow!
We had totality in Gander Newfoundland! 5:15 pm...darkness fell over us, then brighten up again. Cool
As an 80's girl, thanks Jeremiah that song will be in my head all day and I am here for it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am in Ohio and we were in the path of totality, it was pretty cool.
I love when you take the time to stop and just show us shots around the farm during a regular vlog 😊 makes it really feel like I'm at the farm! ❤
We had 94% or something here. It was awesome! Miah playing total Eclipse of the heart!😂😂😂
The joy your life brings you is palpable Jess. It makes watching your videos so wonderful. Here's to the slow and meaningful life!!
I somehow missed this one! Just wanted to give belated kudos to Miah for his comedic timing playing Bonnie Tyler on his phone during the eclipse. 👏👏👏
We watched the solar eclipse from our front yard in Hamilton, ON, Canada! We were in the path of totality and watching it go from daylight to almost night-time darkness and the temperature drop was surreal! There were some clouds but we were still able to see it nice and clear.
Hello from Barrie! My daughter is in the "Hammer"
lol the calf looks like it has go-go boots on. 🤣. I can’t unsee it lol.
The last eclipse I was able to experience was the Oregon eclipse! It really is truly cool! It was really cool seeing the shapes of cresent moons everywhere. Love your videos as always!
Thank you for the reminder that we are living in a counterculture way. I thought this morning that I would make pizza for dinner but forgot we were out of cheese. However, I should still have time to make some before dinner! And it will be way more satisfying to eat pizza with homemade cheese tonight, then to swing by the store and pick some up.
I was able to be in Idaho in the path of totality for the 2017 eclipse, and this time we went camping in eastern Missouri and then drove an hour to get into the path of totality. It is so amazing to experience and I've been blessed to see it twice in my lifetime 😍
I really can't fully describe what it's like but that eerie feeling you had intensifies and everything gets as dark as twilight, and you can look right at the sun. Crickets chirped and birds went silent and it got much colder! There's a point right before 100% coverage where you can suddenly not feel the sun shining on you anymore even though it still appears sunny outside and there are shadows on the ground. I was also able to see, as the sun reappeared, how the west side of the sky was light and the east side was dark. I could literally see the shadow moving away from us. So amazing! 🤩
Food is an essential for life but yet we have been conditioned to let big ag take care of that essential for us and we don’t even THINK about the control that holds over us. Learning how to grow what you eat is so empowering for survival and no one can take that from you.
Hey there , Here in Montreal , we had total darkness and about 3 minutes worth. They closed the schools here so the kids were with their parents for safety ....This eclipse was my second one , first one I was a small kid and we were at school and made our box to look up at the sky.Congratulations on the new baby cow. ,such a cutie.
Here in Chardon Ohio it was a total eclipse! I got a six minute video of it going over our deck. There was a total eclipse on March 7, 1970. The day we got married 54years ago. Awesome!
Jess, I LOVE when you do those intros. I've been watching so long that it feels like settling in to chat with a best friend when you show a few peaceful clips to set the scene. Its beautiful that you succeed in capturing the ambiance of the farm. I'm sure that it could be easy to rush through or take for granted the familiar, but your pauses inspire me to take in the beauty around my life too.
We always made a point of celebrating sky events with our kids-eclipses, star showers, comets, and even back when Mir and the International Space Station were docked together, we watched them cross our night sky. On Monday, I shared eclipse viewing with my husband and one of our sons-in-law in our garden. Our son watched it with 2 of our grandkids, which made me so proud. This one was less dramatic than in 2017 but still completely worth our attention.
My mom and I watched it from Ohio in totality. It was one of the coolest experiences of my life.
I absolutely love the light when there's an eclipse, no weather condition can replicate it.
I love Asher!!! 😁He is ALWAYS chillen in his PJ's and his robe 😎💙💙
What a difference a year makes! One year ago (April 9, 2023) we were just at the cusp of digging the foundation for the new home we rebuilt after our farmhouse burned down. One year later its not finished (is it ever really finished?) but it is entirely comfortable as I work on all the little touches. A cupboard built into a wall with the doors from the first tv my husbands family had (big console), a peninsula with reclaimed floorboards from the farmhouse, hanging all the salvaged doors.....you get the idea. BUT, this has all happened in a year! What a whirlwind. Fasten your seatbelt and hang on!
BABY BOY SOCKS! ❤ Eclipse was fun 93% 😊 I’m so jealous that your iris are opening! Daffodils, crocus and a few alliums popped up, but looking ahead days will be warm/nights cold. I’m filling my greenstalks and starting seeds indoors in excitement with a little fear in the back of my brain that a surprise snow storm will come still.
Absolutely perfect view of the Totality in Northern Vermont. Blue sky, 60+ degrees and it felt like all of New England came to my little rural county. Absolute grid lock for about 6 hours of mass exit. One way in, one way out.
We enjoyed our visitors and all the unusual excitement at this usually quiet transition from winter to spring. For perspective…. We got 2 FEET of snow on April 5th.
Thank you so much for today's video it was wonderful I really enjoyed it you and your family are awesome❤❤❤
That calf is gorgeous! I loved watching u pet him, oddly therapeutic.
We were in the path of totality in southern Indiana. We had the day off of school and work. I spent a fantastic morning batch cooking for our upcoming busy spring, then went up to our park where our town had an eclipse party. Then the afternoon was spent helping our priest butcher our roosters to make chicken curry and planting onions. A lovely day! So happy we could experience the eclipse together. My favorite part was that it looked like a sunrise the entire 360 degrees around me on the horizon.
I'm in DeKalb, TX and we were right in the path of totality and IT WAS THE COOLEST EVER!!!!! I'll be 85 for the next one so I'm so glad I got to see this. I just can't describe how it felt, but very grateful to have gotten to witness it for sure.
Ok Jess....
That's the absolute CUTEST photo of you ever!!! It should be on a magazine cover or seed packets or SOMETHING!!!
LOL he busts out total eclipse of the heart song! Awesome timing! 💕
We were in the path of totality in Ohio. It was AWESOME! So cool! Our solar powered lights came on. You could see the flame ring around the sun with this one red spot. We could see Venus and other planets and stars. So cool! There were lots of jet trails. Yes! I turned on that song too!
What Song did he turn on.....? I couldn't hear what was playing.....(over the laughing....haha) > Total Eclipse...> Bonnie ?
Socks is so cute!! Such a beautiful baby. We had about 80% of the eclipse here in Georgia. I remember being in high school in 1984 and getting to see a total eclipse while we were in school.
I love seeing your Iris, such beautiful colors and textures!They always remind me of my mom and my grandmothers.
It makes my heart happy!
Socks is adorable, congrats! Jess, you should take pictures of flowers, vegetables, and animals, frame them, and sell at the farmer’s market!
100% totality! It was such a amazing moment and feeling!🤩 New-Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦
THAT WAS SO FUN AND EXCITING TO SEE THAT I LIVE IN OREGON AND WE DIDN'T GET TO SEE IT I JUST SAW SOME ON CZcams BUT YOURS WAS REALLY COOL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHOWING THAT TO US 💗💗💗
Central Ohio was in the path of the total eclipse. Our company allowed us to go outside and watch and it was amazing. The white of the sun peeking out from behind the moon was so very dazzling white. We even saw solar flares! It was a spiritual experience 😊
This is one of my favorite Vids! I Love it when you share your family on here! Thank You for all you do! Always so uplifting, knowledgable and fun to watch.❤❤❤
A hammock and your fountain is so relaxing 😌 that would be my joy.😊
Ohio.....in totality. The heavens were Eerie and fascinating. The temp drop and darkness was odd to experience. Once in a lifetime for us.
Oh the song of the guinea fowl. I love having them on our property along with the crows of our rooster.
We experienced 87% and it was still very cool to watch. The birds started to roost. The temperature dropped and it felt like dusk.
What a beautiful calf! I would name him Cupid because of the heart on his head! But alas, I'm too late and Socks is great! ❤
We had 90*s snd a gloomy, shady shadowy day.What a handsome calf!
Love looking at your gardens and your farm. Then I’m realizing I need to get my out and put my plants in the garden.
I missed the eclipse as I was at work, so I'm sooo happy that you showed me what you saw! That truly made my day!
I was in the path of totality in 2017 in Oregon. I was up on my parent's property which is on a hill overlooking Dallas Oregon. I remember noticing all the shadows of the leaves were strangely curved just before and after, and when it went dark and we could see the full eclipse it was like twilight. Being up on the hill, we could hear people from town cheering and some people lit off fireworks 😅 it was just like there was a big highschool football game going on,because I'm pretty sure the high school football stadium was full of people. The home team side of the stadium faced the event so it would have been a great opportunity for the school to have a little extra fundraising event!
We drove from Slidell La to Tyler TX (6.5 hours) to stay a few nights. On Monday, we drove about 40 minutes north to Lake Fork at Minnow Bucket Marina. Seeing how the sky was much clearer to the north, we left and went to a church property near Yantis. My first Totality, and my sister and my husband were with me. It was very cool. We're physics nerds.
I had noticed a bale of hay in the next pasture. After Totality had ended, I noticed that the cows had come back up the hill! No one was home to explain what happened. 😂 They were looking to me for an explanation! They just stood there waiting for their farmer to milk them or put them up for the night, even though it was bright again by that time.
On the thought of our fore-folks spending so much of their time on sustenance...I've had a wave of sheer panic thoughts of "what if this was the only way to feed my family" when harvesting a nubby single carrot, or watching bugs overrun my zukes. Sure, if that was the only way, the flowers and ornamentals would be gone as would the rest of the grass, but still, it's enough to give me a hot flash of dread.
So grateful for these snapshots into your beautiful life! Getting ready for night shift in the icu and your vlogs help center me and remind me of what “real life” really is! ❤❤❤
We were in 98% coverage and the eclipse was so surreal just with the way atmosphere looked outside. My daughter said "why is it both light and dark outside"? 😂
Socks is such a cutie. I missed the eclipse because I was working.
I remember my grandparents growing the same thing every year - corn, potatoes, and tomatoes. My grandmother canned tomatoes and corn. I remember the potatoes being stored under the house and lasting them through most the winter.
So glad you all got at least the partial eclipse! We had total eclipse here... it chilled down, birds went quiet, street lights came on (was darker than I expected) and you could look straight at it without the glasses (just for that brief minute). Mesmerizing!!! So happy for the new calf... he is so cute! Blessings on your day Kiddos! 🌻🐛Carolyn in Ohio 🌿
We were in the path of totality near Cedar Park Texas and it became a neighborhood event in our cul-de-sac as we passed around the one pair of glasses we had!😂 One of the neighbors remarked on how quiet it was all the sudden, traffic all but stopped, the birds stopped chirping, and it was like a part of our world came to a stand still to admire God's glory. ❤ It was downright eerie seeing it almost dark and so cool seeing how just a slight sliver of exposure to the sun created sooo much light, as it started to uncover. Incredible experience and fun to share with people we live among. As we were all standing and admiring, the smallest one (2 yrs) said, "SCIENCE!" it was so sweet. He was right, the evolving wonder of God's miraculous mark on our world was amazing and very much part of REAL science. Science is embedded within God's creation/word & we got to see that on beautiful display, without a single man involved in making it happen. 😊❤
Was able to travel back to Waco for the eclipse (grew up there and still have family there). I've been in 80-90 percent eclipses before but the totality was surreal. The aura around the moon was visible to the naked eye and was absolutely mesmerizing (got a pretty good picture of it). I cannot imagine what the people that observed it before modern times thought about what was happening. Once in a lifetime event for me for sure. Best part was I got to share it with my dad.
We live in Northeast Ohio, east of Cleveland, and we were in the path of totality. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever experienced in my 70 years. The drop in temperature and that bluish, haziness before and after, were very interesting. Check that off the bucket list! Blessings, Marie
My friend (I lost her a year and a half ago) loved irises, so seeing yours makes me think of her.
Dallas tx. It was amazing. We didn’t think it was going to as wonderful as it was. It went as dark and 10 in the middle of the day. With a white light ring . The birds that were flying kind of lost their way a little and a red wasp kept bumping my head like he was lost. And it went dead quiet. Was eerie. But wonderful.
Just before totality I heard my chickens skitter up their ladder. So cute.
We used my father in laws welding helmet to see it. It was SO COOL! It was so cloudy here but we got to see it here and there.
We were in the path of totality and I agree it was amazing! When it got dark the chickens went to roost and the peeper frogs came out.
Oh you have Iris blooming already?? Roses? Crazy the different zones :) Love that your fountain is flowing!
We were in the path of totality but had partial cloud cover and got to see some of the phases. The coolest thing was the darkening , it was totally dark (fortunately no light pollution ) and then minutes later lightened. Some of the chickens went into the coop, others stayed out and roosted on their outdoor perches. Amazing, now we wait until 2044!
Every time you show clips of family things it reminds me that I need to do that more with my family - recording fun moments on video is so great 😊 We weren’t in the path of totality but got to see the crescent shape like you - we were in the high 80% range. My preschooler loved it. 🥰 Also I hope you were able to get some great photos of that sweet calf in the grass - I didn’t expect him to sit so still for you. ❤😊
The crescent shaped shadows was interesting. I didnt know about that. .
Handsome calf. Love his long white socks😂
I love your idea of letting food take over. I follow another Canadian CZcamsr and he calls it a food Forest. That’s my goal. Turning our little homestead into a food Forest. It will be an intentional chaos that will hopefully thrive.
I get jealous of your growing zone and often wish that we would be able to relocate. But then I remind myself that God created all the zones and we have a lot of amazing foods that are native to our zone 3-4 and I’m going to be a good steward of what I have.
Thanks for the video.
We got a 95% eclipse, but my sister and her husband were in Clinton, Arkansas visiting his mother, and they were able to experience totality. I saw a total eclipse as a child, so I was happy with the 95% on Monday. The light was weirdly greenish, and the birds were singing their evening songs. So cool!
I live in the Pacific Northwest so no eclipse here. I haven’t seen an eclipse since I was in elementary school, probably 50 years ago. That was in the SE where I grew up. We did get a partial eclipse about 7 years ago here but I couldn’t get away from work to see it. I hope I get to experience it again in my lifetime. Socks is beautiful. I wish he would have been a heifer, too. With that sweet face and the heart on his forehead, I probably would have named him Cupid or something like that.
I'm in Cleveland, in the path of totality. I was out working in my yard because we had a lovely 72 degree (F) day. I just hung out while the eclipse was working its way to its peak and as the sky got darker and the house lights came on, someone nearby shot off some fireworks. So, I got a double light show. I could easily see the eclipse while fireworks were lower and to the left of it. It was really neat in a spooky kind of way. Not scary, just kind of eerie. Didn't last very long...about 3 minutes and then everything started going back to normal. :)
Can’t get enough photos of your lovely irises! I just love them!❤Blessings!❤
Can we call him socks?! MY HEART ❤
I live in Texas, so yes, I was in the path of totality! It got so dark during the totality, almost like night! Very cool to witness!
Congrats on the arrival of Hope’s baby boy! We were in area of VERY near totality of the eclipse (I watched it from windows at work in a hospital in Albany, NY). It was an estimated 97% coverage here! I also remember watching the one in ‘94 when my 1st 2 boys were young-and you’re right, there was a very odd hazy, overcast feeling in the sky during the peak of the eclipse!
The shadows were the koolest thing. We were in 99% totality. In the st.louis metro area.
Can't wait for those front porch pea shelling chats. Hopefully it will feel like just yesterday when you menitioned it. ❤
Hey Jess! Love how pretty your farm looks already! Here in Canada, the snow is just all about melted and my garlic is coming up. You'll love Jerusalem Artichoke! We had a native couple come teach us about their plants at my school, and they told us that you should cook them before eating because you'll have a sore tummy. I grow them at home and I stake mine because they flop over in high winds and lots of rain. The deer even eat them!
CONGRATULATIONS ON NEW BABY!!! 🥰🥰
Socks is so cute.
Totality here in Indianapolis. 🌑 😎
I was in Texas for the 1994 eclipse.
Socks seems very chill. He is beautiful.
Love the irises.
I live at West Plains, Missouri. We had totality. It was SO AMAZING!!!! It was so incredible how dark it got!
Miah! Serenading the eclipse with Bonnie Tyler!! ❤❤
We are in s.E Michigan we had 99.8! It was cool and did get chilly!
The weird shift in the environment during the eclipse (close, but not totality here) felt so familiar. It bugged me til I realized, it's that same eerie shift you feel right before a bad tornado. Just kinda kooky.
