Welcome Home
Welcome…to a place that feels like home. A small farm with a big family. Pull up a chair and visit awhile.
Our Story

Hey there, darling! My name is Jess. 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 Roots and Refuge, friend. I am so glad you’re here.
