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.

So proud of you, Miah. Your talents shine through. God Bless!
That room is a blank canvas for Jess. I can't wait to see what it looks like in 1 year when it is filled with life, antiques and color. Awesome job Miah!
What a relief it must be to have all that stuff out of the house! It’s a beautiful milk room with the most appropriate paint color! 😊
Your family has done an amazing job in just a year. What a story your children will be able to pass on. You have started quite the future for them all. And you have taught so many what can be accomplished with alot of love, tears and prayers. Blessings to you all..
What would be so cute on the wall above the counter would be pictures of the milk cows with their heads looking through a barn door like they are looking through the wall of the milking room watching what you are doing.
Beautiful job! I think the boys are right! You’re gonna need an A/C unit in that room. The refrigerator and dishwasher are adding heat to the room. Maybe a small split system would work wonders. It’ll make it more comfortable for you and Jess to process the milk.
This looks awesome! Great job Miah. Need to show this to my hubby to get him to fix the drywall hole in the basement.
I love how your children are so invested. This speaks volumes about the love you have for them! Blessings!
Love how the boys participated in helping their dad. Milk room is nice.
That is such a wonderfully planned room!
Miah...you do make a "mean" teaching video. Thank you for the tour. The milking room is beautiful. Can't wait to see the décor. Blessings. Also, can't wait to see and subscribe to your personal vlog.
Miah you did an amazing job, I love it and I bet Jess does too!! Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful job Miah , you have a milk room like no other , such a well thought out plan. Miah , you are shining .. Blessings on the farm are every where....
Thanks, Miah!! You're getting the hang of this video thing! The Milk Room is well thought out and very efficient. I can't wait to see the Dutch door and the "Girls" portraits on the wall. You and your family make my heart sing. Y'all truly do bless me every time.
"I bless you guys, until next time..." Will never stop melting my heart from either one of you guys! 💕😍
Great job Miah. Congratulations on all your accomplishments, which are many.
1.2k views in 19 minutes - WOW! Great video - I love celebrating all your milestones with you. Your family is my main inspiration!! ♥️ Hope the window sun-catchers arrived in one piece!
Miah you had be laughing about the paint color. So extremely happy for y’all. I remember those first days out in the fields. So was a pistol. Blessings
What a great addition to the homestead! Perfect for those with small homes or who just want to be efficient! When I was kid, we had a milk cow and we lived in a single wide mobile home. Milk was everywhere! Having a dedicated milk refrigerator is a must.
Blessings on your day Kiddos!🥰🌻🐛🌼
Hey Miah! 👋 Nice to see ya!
The Milk Room 🐄 looks great!! 👍
Really enjoyed the tour of your milk room and including us in using it for the first time.
Awesome!!! Love your milking room! Need a coffee pot for Jess!!
Really cool streamline it all the way 😃😄👍
It’s beautiful AND functional, Miah. You did an excellent job!!
❤️🐄❤️
Miah what a blessing your milk room is! You have done a wonderful job on it as well as the entire homestead!! God bless your beautiful family! Thanks for sharing your life with us!
Not sure if this helps, but I keep a roll of masking tape handy and use it when I write on the caps of my jars with the sharpie. Just peel off & toss and repeat next time you use the jar. Keeps the lids from getting written all over, crossed off, etc. love the milk room! Sweet skills!
It is just so amazing how fast your farm is growing. I love watching you & Jess!
It looks great...
Wow! Very cool! Effective, efficient and purposeful!! Can’t go wrong with that set up.
As you told the backstory of the cows and clips of your first gradual steps made me realize there was so much more work involved than what your RUclips videos shared with us. When you put those jars in the freezer, I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief. What a pleasure to see the milking room making It's debut with you and the boys! 👍
Thank goodness you got that outta the house (I’m sure your A/C will seemingly work MUCH better now)! Good job! No nastier fight than one between your air conditioner and a cooking appliance or something hot and humid. 🥵
Love seeing Miah! Great job on the milk processing room, this would be my dream set-up if I had a milk cow. Everything is so well thought out.
Miah killing the milking room set up AND the video unveiling! Way to go man. It looks great.
You have done a brilliant job great improvement ❤️❤️
Oh my heart ❤. Seeing Miah coming across that pasture with three of his boys makes my heart so happy and touches me right in the feelings.
That is fantastic!!! Doing things the hard way not only teaches us lessons but gives us so much more appreciation for the things that make it easier and nicer when we get them! Thanks for taking us along!
Miah, everything looks awesome you are a very good detail person. Love you guys!👏👏👏👏😊🙏❤️
You have really put a lot of thought into the barn and it's looking awesome!
I'm so happy for you. Great video.
Miah, I love your videos! Love what you're doing with the milking room!
Looks great and I know you're proud!! I'm happy for you guys! Thanks for blessing so many of us and encouraging us by being the example!
Blessings to all!
Beautiful ! Great place! Everyone will envy this one. This is fantastic! Work smarter not harder. Nice job Miah!
I don’t know how hard your water is but the on demand water heater only lasted in my home for about 9 months. The minerals in my water completely killed it. They work really good for people with town water of a water softener system. I pray that you don’t have that problem.
I love the milking room and believe it will make a huge difference. Many years ago my husband and I used to milk 100 Holstein cows twice a day. The system we had was huge and I promised myself that I would never milk cows again. Taking the calves away from the moms used to break my heart. Seeing the way the small farmer/homesteader are doing the calf share and only milking once a day is such a beautiful thing for the farmers and the cows.
Bless you guys back!!! Thank you for sharing all this wonderful journey!!
Very nice setup ! It’s nice to see the progress from milking in the field to now. Quite a change. 👍
I am so excited for you. Love the tankless water heater. It is soooo tiny compared to mine. The memories of the milking are so good. You will get such good use of your new surroundings. 🥳👏🎉❤️
What a great room, love how it turned out. Jess is definitely blessed to have someone like you to turn the barn into such a great area. You guys are making wonderful progress. Looks fabulous.
I appreciate efficiency too and love the milk room. I also agree portraits of your first 3 cows would be great. Outstanding video!
Miah…you have a servant’s heart like Jesus! I love how you work so hard to love your family…nice seeing more of you on the channel! Blessings to you and Jess!
miah!!! Doing great bud. Jess you taught him well girl. Your both so authentic in front of camera and great teachers. We THANK YOU until next time ❤️
Thanks Miah for showing us your new awesome milk room. Love the paint color name. Very fitting. You reminded me of my husband, he can build almost anything. A wonderful gift from God. Bless y’all.
Great job Miah! You will really appreciate it when it is a cold rainy day in the middle of winter even with the mild winters you have.
If you end up adding a laundry room/stackable set and a half bath or full bath in the barn - highly recommend the brand Speed Queen for the washer and dryer. They have a 20-year warranty, made in the U.S. and have RIGOROUS quality control. We purchased one for a client's air bnb property (lots of bedding/towels to wash every time) and the man that delivered it said the first service call for a local dairy that he had convinced to start using Speed Queens for their 20 loads a day was after 17,000 loads of laundry! And even then, the company was concerned that they already had a mechanical issue - turned out to be a belt that had slipped, if I recall. One of the benefits is that the washing machine spins at a much higher rate then residential machines so not only does it spin out the dirt faster, it also leaves less moisture in the fabric so the drying cycle is shorter as well. Huge benefit for washing farm clothes/towels etc. - especially is you would like to keep those items separate from non farm clothing.
Yay!! Congratulations on all your accomplishments this far!! Love the milk room!
Bless you for standing in a room with no AC (and 100+ deg temps) and doing such a great video. I can see how much easier the milk room will make your life, and also how well thought out it is.
Wow! Very impressive Miah. You all are dynamos! It’s amazing what you’ve accomplished in a year so congratulations and many more blessings going forward.
Awesome 👏 💕🙏 Milk room looks great. And I bet is a big relief to be done.
Your incredible progress over this year and your workmanship on each project has been inspiring.
The milking room looks awesome. Love the video clippings of the different stages of milking. I love the ideal of photos of the girls hanging in there.
Absolutely beautiful. You did an amazing job Miah. This is definitely going to make your life a lot easier. 💕
Great job!! Blessings 🙏🏾
Love it!
Love the flashback clips! It's a good reminder for us watching (and for you guys doing it!) the immense amount of progress you've made in such a short amount of time.
Christmas in July!!! This is so special seeing the progress.
Mish you did an excellent job! I look forward to hearing about more of your work. You two are so blessed to have found each other. Your family is precious.
Can't wait to see the added racks! So much progress! Y'all are amazing!!!
Absolutely love, love, love watching your homestead building journey. Have watched your channel for about 3 years now. Amazing. Look forward to learning how to build some things Miah.
Blessings on your whole family and farm.
😊💕🙏🏻🇨🇦
This is tremendous! Loved seeing this. Thank you for sharing--anyone who wants to head in the direction of having their own milk cow(s) should see this and take notes.
Super cool Miah!
We lost our hot water heater a few weekends ago and are bout to purchase a new one. We were looking at the same hot water heater. You just helped me decide on getting that hot water heater. Less expensive in more ways than 1.
I am exhausted from listening to all the work done for the milk. 😬
So exciting! I'm so happy for you guys! Look at everything you've accomplished on your new farm in one short year. It's amazing.
That milk room adds pizazz to your barn and obviously saves you time and space. Thank you for a great share
Parts Dept is having a sale on Milk Plan bulk tanks much better than the fridge. They have tanks as small as 15 gallons. You also need the 3 compartment sink and a separate hand sink. Then you’re all set to meet any regulations that may be imposed in the future
That's so awesome that you got the milk room ready to use this fast. Saves y'all time and energy in the long run.
WOW!!! You are a genius ☺️, the room looks awesome, great job 👍
Congratulations!!! That's Awesome!!
Great combination of the history of how you got to have a milking room showing all of the interim steps in between that other folks might have to just stick with. And then also just talking us through the process and the rationale for your choices is always such a great thing that you do!
And of course, getting to see how tickled you are about it all happening is always such a treat and a boon to my day. 😍
So jealous! That looks awesome!
That milking room is awesome! You’ve taken what you’ve learned up to this point and made an efficient place to take care of the milk. Being efficient in the milking process can free you all up to get other things done. Great job!
Awesome design/build of your milk room! It's so great to see all your plans coming together for all of you.
Another suggest put up a ceiling fan it will cool you off a bit and maybe make it hard for the bugs to fly around.
💚 Wow, so awesome, and Efficient! To see the time lapse, and learning curve, from first bringing Helen to the Homestead, milking in the field til now...Awemazing! 💚
Right on ! Great efficiency 🏆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What an amazing job you've done with the entire barn Miah, it's so efficient & looks terrific too!
I can hear the Love of God in Miah's voice. What an amazing couple to have as parents!!❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That setup is serious goals, awesome work. About how big is that room? Very efficient use of space.
Well done Miah!! I too appreciate being organized and efficient, so I love all you’ve done.
Love it! Its nice having you do videos too. Great job.You should be very proud of your great work. Your Homestead is really growing and such a Blessing your family shares the adventures.
I like how you adjust things from this is the initial plan to here's how we changed and why we changed the plan.
Jeremiah, you are so amazing and talented! You and Jess are my favorite homesteading family. You're not only doing so much for your own family, but you teach and help so many others! Keep up the great work! God bless always 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
Great job Jeremiah! This looks great and so well thought out, as do most of your projects. Preplanning through a project sure prevents most re do's.
The way you present the content is easy to follow and well thought out. Thank you.
Can't wait for your channel Sweet Miah! You & Jess are my go to for all things homesteading & sometimes just to cheer myself up 😇
The milk room turned out wonderful! So happy for you! Those hangers to dry the milking machine are just perfect!
I love this. What a wonderful journey you all are on. I love taking this journey with you. What fun!!!!!
Miah, you are excellent making RUclips video's. Jess can rest her mind easier now, knowing that you can step in at any time to help make the video's. I love the milk room. Well thought out and clean! Boys were great helping out Dad! Blessings!
This is definitely an incredible space to have!! If I ever have dairy cows and a barn this will be mandatory!! Great video Miah!!
I am looking forward to your vlogs MIAH.
Glass of milk paint. That is too funny.
GOD BLESS YOU 🤟🀄🀄🀄🛐. You have
ACCOMPLISHED A LOT. The pictures will be PERFECT of HOPE, HELEN and HALLELUJAH.
