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.

Thanks for stopping by and trying our products! Great to meet you!
haha ! ' Don't be a weenie ' ! ' That'll be $29.95 ! ' That lady was hilarious !!!
The lady with the pepper jelly is hilarious!
Jess, you would like the channel Great Depression Cooking that features Clara. Once in a while her grandson will post some not before seen footage. Clara was such a treasure to watch.
I found an All American Canner at an estate sell for $20!!!! Praise Jesus
Wow! Score!
Yes!!! Praise the LORD!!! Congratulations & happy canning ❤
I loved going to the farmers market. I'm 70, in a wheelchair and never leave the house, so it was a fun adventure. I used to love going to things like that. It was great listening in on your conversations with the vendors. Please take us with you as you explore places around your new home. Okay, so I'm hard up, but even a vlog at the produce section at your local grocery, giving us your thoughts and comments would be appreciated. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that are in 'my boat' and would enjoy the fieldtrip. I used to have a huge flower garden and greenhouse, so now I will live through you. My eyes & ears still work! LOL
If you are anywhere near east texas I'll grow for you.
If you haven’t already, look up city walks. He goes for walks all over the world and it’s very lovely!
You just blew my mind with using the electric tea kettle to add the hot water. I have been canning for years and that never occurred to me. 😂 I love how we can continually learn new things to streamline processing food. Silly little things to be excited about but you made my day! 😍
I find the sound of the pressure cooker comforting. Reminds me of my gramma and mom :)
I love all the British wartime farm episodes! I have never watched and not learned something very valuable! Making silage, community pig to baking your own bricks; a wealth of knowledge!
Thanks for everything Sowards family! I've been meaning to thank you for some time now. Watching your content has helped me and my family in many ways! You taught me how to garden, feed my family, find peace in the mistakes and chaos, and find excitement in pursing my wildest dreams.
I thank you.
my heart went out to this Message . J'ess sure knows how to teach and inspire and love seeing these messages for her, she truly blesses us and wish her many blessings!
For your followers, investigate your local free resources. Just found out our public library has tools, canning equipment, and much more to be loaned out like a book. They also have free seeds. I love that for our county. And I bet ours can't be the only library in the country to be doing this.
That's awesome!
I just checked mine. While they don't have anything like a canner, which would have been awesome, they do have free seeds. I never would have thought to check the library for that. Thanks for the info!
Our library has canners also!
@@peggypastime1278 That's so cool!

So excited to see your local farmers market! I am privileged to organize a small farmers market at my workplace, where employees can buy from local farmers during work hours. Employees receive vouchers for good attendance and job performance that they can use at the market in addition to payroll deduction and other forms of payment, including SNAP. The market is open to the public, so the community benefits, too. I’ve seen people who never even heard of spaghetti squash, take one home to try for the first time. I get giddy just thinking about it! It’s a small market, but it adds some “raindrops.” Thank you for all you do and for being such an inspiration.
In the 50's & 60'' my Mom had a big, round, galvanized tube. She set it on blocks & put wood under it & fired it up. That's how she did her canning before she got the newer things. Where there's a will, there's always a way! God Bless the Sowards!!! 😇🙋🙏
I started by foraging dandelion flowers and making jelly. My Mother took us kids foraging growing up. Life lessons.
A big thank you from a raindrop
On such a sad day in America, thank you for your content - it is grounding to remember what we can control right now.
I want to thank you for the war/kitchen episodes .They are very interesting to listen to, being that I'm 70, my granny lived in this time and shared stories that had me capture..maybe that is why I have always had a small garden, just can't help it. lol.
The Canning Diva book actually has some issues with the processing times listed. The Kneady Homesteader did a review of that book on her channel that was excellent .
Love this!! When I was learning to can and didn’t have a garden, I just posted on FB every couple of weeks that if anyone had extra fruit, I’d take it off their hands and give them back half of anything I made. So many people have fruit trees they don’t know what to do with! I would get buckets and buckets of fruit to process and my friends would get to actually enjoy the fruit growing in their yard they would otherwise leave to the birds.
I would love to hear more about your natural skincare!
My neighbour makes the best Potato doughnuts and she sells out at every farmers market very quickly , todays special flavour was Strawberry/Rhubarb.
I love rhubarb and ice cream or custard!
Sounds awesome!
Oh my ~ they sound scrumptious !!!
I make sweet potato doughnuts. Sooo yummy!
@@bdrummond5414 , oh I bet they are ! And here I am @ 4:40 am drinking my 1st cup of hot coffee & you tease me with sweet potato donuts !!! I love any thing SWEET POTATO !
Jess I love hanging out with you. The farmers market was fun. Enjoying the kitchen day. Thank you for sharing your day with us.
I’m sure you get this said daily but Jess, you are a WEALTH of knowledge. Better yet… you’re the library. 🥰👍
I just LOVE you and your family. My children are the same age as Ben.
I absolutely LOVE that you shop at your local farmers market. It seems society has gone from one extreme to the other (dependent to completely self-sufficient). But we forget that it’s important to support each other, and that homesteading is also about community. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses-either with time, land, skill, etc. Sharing and/or exchanging based on those is what makes us all stronger ❤️💪🏻
Go to the thrift stores. MOST of my pots came from thrift or yard sales. You can find brand new ones as well.
OMG I love the Pepper Jelly Vendor! I would've spent so much time hanging out and chatting there. LOL Jess thanks for showcasing these farmers!
How cool! So glad you came to see us! 👋 Hello everyone!
Love that you are helping local farmers by posting this video
When that lady said “don’t be a weeny!” Omg I cracked UP!
Jess your gonna need to give us a pantry tour of all your canned items. Then you can make a meal and show us how you do it all with your canned items. 🤔 Just a thought. Thank you for teaching us. You are so amazing! ❤️
Thank you, Jess...I love your teachings, your encouragement, your laughter and how you love your family and us, your subs.
I was actually thinking today that if you were just starting to can and you can afford it you should start with a presto 23 qt pressure canner because you can start with water bath canning in it then move up to pressure canning. 1 piece of equipment to do double duty!
Thank you so much for the info! Been really on the fence on taking the leap to pressure can, first year I have abundance to preserve!
I’m also obsessed with that war time era and the food, shortages, styles etc
Great episode. The best part (for me) was the end where you talked about listening to BBC's Wartime Kitchen and Garden. My parents were little kids during the Great Depression, one lived in the country and one lived in NY City. Then my dad was in WWII before I was born. So, yes, I'm a "Boomer." My parents and grandparents never lost the frugalness they learned during these times. I think history repeats itself. Being prepared means having skills so I thank you for teaching all this to everyone.
I'm up to Episode 4 and at the very very end there is a scene where Japan bombs Pearl Harbor. My dad was on the USS Maryland and survived the attack and went on to finish the war in the Navy on the USS Missouri, where the surrender was signed by the Japanese.
My herbalist heart loves hearing that hibiscus testimony! 💗 It's called Jamaica in Mexico. So tasty, too. Love your local market! 🌿🌻
It’s absolutely true! I started drinking it a few years ago and it’s helped keep my BP numbers low, too! And it’s such a great flavor to add in with other teas and fruit fusions.
Here in Puerto Rico it's also known as Jamaican flower 🌺
Too cool, I started drinking it, and then, my daughter found a plant, and now, she plants me up a bunch every year, and we have a fun time making tea! Florida hibiscus or Jamaican sorrel is what we were told, a blessing!
Miss Jess how did you ever get to be so smart??!!!!Love your work❤️🙏🏻Thank you for sharing🥰
Thank you for showcasing the wonderful people of our area! ♥️
Jess, thank you for mentioning the wartime kitchen & garden! I binge watched the wholeseries last time you mentioned it, what a fascinating and inspiring series! Love watching your homestead transform, many thanks for sharing all you do!
Welcome to Newberry. Wish I had run into you but I cook the free lunch at O'Neal Street United Methodist Church. Newberry is such a wonderful place. Love your videos.
I love being able to grow things and “put them up” for later. One year, when my son was about 10 years old I sent him out to get me a couple of carrots. They were pretty close to being ready to harvest. After a while, I noticed he was taking a long time to get back. I went out and he had about pulled out every carrot out of the ground! Guess what he had to help me do after lunch! Yep! Peel, cut, blanch and vacuum seal carrots for the freezer! It was not what was on the agenda that day!
I have been canning for 45 years now. Started canning on my own right after my hubby and I married in 78'. I grew up in a family that canned. My gram, aunts, mom, her friends all canned back in the late 60's and 70's. So it was just what we all did. My first canner, that I'm still using is my grams. She gave it to me when I got married. It's a 60's presto canner with a pressure gauge. And I still use a gauge. Have bought about 5 thru the years.. have it checked 2 times a year.. Can't stand the jigglers. Almost 30 years ago I found another 60's presto canner for 5.00. So I have been using 2 since then. All the yard sale canner needed was a new gauge and gasket. And I agree 1000% about finding good buys at stores and canning those. Yesterday I found 1 gallon jugs of ragu spaghetti sauce for 4.99 each. So I bought 3. And I'm going to can it in pint jars. I'm always on the lookout for bargains. It's like a game to me! And buying dry beans of all kinds cheap then canning them is so much cheaper than buying them already canned. I also started growing all different beans to dry last year. It was fun. This year I'm doing a bunch more to dry then can.
So many helpful tips here! Thank you so much for sharing 😃♥️
I can’t believe how close you are. If you ever come down through Chapin, stop by! We’d love to show you our little farm.
I love how the hubby was selling that hibiscus tea for his wife. I brought some today at my local farmers market.
I love watching the war time kitchen. The farm series is so good.
I LOVE your videos that you take us out into town in! It's such an experience. Helps my social/public anxiety a lot.
I use tallow in my soap making. It makes the best bar of soap. Creamy, rich lather and your skin doesn't have that tight feeling after you shower. Love tallow.
Love those shows where people attempt to live as though they are in a bygone era. Victorian farm is another good one.
I love all of them!
Blessing recieved and cherished! Thank you Jess.
I know exactly what series you are talking about and I love it. I recommended it several years to a colleague who teaches history.
Agua de jamaica (pronounced ha-my-ca) is a Mexican drink. It’s sweet and tart like cranberry juice or lemonade. It’s my favorite drink. Hibiscus is super high in antioxidants and is good for heart health.
For a half gallon, I use 1 cup tea, 1 cup sugar, and 1 lime. Boil some water and the sugar. Remove from heat. Steep the petals 15-20 minutes, longer can make it a little bitter. Add the rest of the water and the juice of 1 lime. Chill and serve cold.
Sugar can be adjusted. The lime is optional, but it adds brightness. The tea will be a lot darker than what you got, similar to cranberry juice.
I just read the Kitchen Front. I was most amused at the Brit's intro to SPAM in the story and how they were averse to use it. That stuff is still with us today!
I’ve watched wartime kitchen and garden over and over😁
That would be agua de jamaica here in Mexico and served almost everywhere with 'la comida'. Great advice on processing whatever is available. Years ago when I did lots of canning and freezing we would drive to the raspberry ranch in Northern NM and pick and buy lots of berries to freeze and make jam. Apples for sauce and butter, peaches canned, pickles, chutneys, tomatoes, salsas, all of this and I did not have a garden. Just got it when it was in abundance and the kitchen was a fricking sauna for 2 weeks straight, but man oh man, was it nice to have once the snow hit. Oh yea, and a freezer full of hatch green chili...
I love the newberry farmers market such a great group of small farmers and growers.
I used to live in Greenwood, and remember Newberry very well. In 2013 there was this awesome lunch place there. Awesome home cooking. Newberry has a rich spiritual history. French Huguenots. Sorry, I digress.
I learned how to can strawberries jam without the water bath canner!
- using a panfry with water (burner on), I placed my clean jars upside down. In another small pot, the lids in hot water also. The glass jars were burning hot from the steam (I had to add more once and a while bc it evaporated). Just grabbed the jar, filled with hot jam, cleaned the edges, close with the lid and places the jar UPSIDE DOWN for 15min. Then turn them right side up and wait for the popping sound, good to go. I just saw a video of someone doing the same way with tomatoes. The heated jar and lids, plus the boiling hot content worked just fine.
Really like her charts and recipes in that canning book! Glad to see you talk about it. Enjoyed the market and see how to render the beef fat! I did really know how or what to use it. THANKS, Jess!
That pressure canner is an Autoclave machine which we regularly use in our scientific laboratories for killing harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores
A skin care and other favorite home/health/beauty products or remedies video would be so cool!
Peach Jalapeño jelly on Shrimp Tacos is 🔥🔥💣💣 made it a few years ago and my husband ate it all in like 2 months. making more this year
I just wanted to update what I said a moment ago, so I know that it is now recommended to pressure can everything, but it truly isn't necessary as things can be canned in a water bath. We use a book from the United States Department of Agriculture called, "Complete Guide to Home Canning, Preserving, and Freezing." Since there are people who are afraid to use Pressure Cookers and Canners, just wanted to let them know that they can still preserve their produce by canning, it just takes a little more patience and time as the water bath does take longer than the pressure canning method.
Jess I absolutely love your channel and ever since I heard you on radio in April of 2021 on "In the Garden, with Ron Wilson," I have been binge watching your videos. Love the devotionals as well and have watched many of them more than once. I'm not being critical, so please don't have your feelings hurt, as that is not my intention at all. Keep up the good work as I really enjoy everything you share with us, and hope to meet you in person some day.
They don't have pressure canners in Europe and they water bath EVERYTHING up to and including meat. So just because the FDA doesn't approve or says you can't do that, doesn't mean you can't do that..
They also boil the foods for 10 min after opening the can before serving them, to denature any botulism toxins that may have developed. That's an IMPORTANT step if you're going to water-bath-can low-acid foods.
we dont have them here in Australia either, unless you import from US for $1000. I have a 1950's bottling preserves recipe book, which is the Australian equivalent to ball/mason, everything was water bathed. The newer instructions are now repeating FDA mantra, which is useless here as we dont have pressure canners.
Hi. Story:
UK used to follow Canada guidelines. There was a call for young Canadian ladies to come to the UK during and after the war to teach jam/home preserve making. It’s sort of how the Women’s Institute (“WI”) started. (Together with a push for skilled young Canadian women to meet and marry young male farmers whose choice of young British ladies had zero preserving skills).
The WI had mini pop up farmers markets (“WI markets) selling cakes, preserves, etc. Meats were never “canned”. Then when Canada/US(FDA) announced that produce shouldn’t just be allowed to self seal through cooling as taught by the women from Canada, but water bathed, the WI markets were closed. UK government didn’t want to oversee/advise water bath OR the new pressure canning methods for low acid foods. It just said no to selling home grown jarred products to general public. We are allowed to do what we like in our homes and there are no rules/guides/support about how to pressure can because it’s deemed that what we do in our own homes is our business and up to us to import pressure canners/water bath canners and learn the science behind the methods.
Lakeland import and sell Ball jars and lids but not canners. There’s no outlet to test pressure gauges unless you know of a local engineering factory who’d be willing to pay extra liability insurance to test. Unless of course you have employees in such a manufacturing department that your family owns.
Basically, it’s up to UK citizens to do their own research, import through duty free Amazon Prime UK, and take responsibility for their own actions to can for their own use.
I love the concept of the new US electric pressure canners, but there’s only a one year guarantee and one has to buy an expensive scientific instrument and have the correct software to test the pressure technology.
I follow the tested recipes of the FDA and what US extension offices might still provide, using a Presto canner with weighted jiggler as a back up to the pressure gauge that I have the blessing of being able to have regularly tested.
What I’m saying is folk in the UK might waterbath meat through ignorance as they can preserve how they like in their own home. Our government just says it’s not safe, it’s illegal to sell but provides no oversight alternative.
I grew up with a granddaughter of a Canadian wartime prairie immigrant who had eagerly risen to the call to meet and marry a British farmer and teach locals how to preserve fruits and veg. I loved her dearly especially her stories of the dangers of Atlantic crossing that her parents didn’t give permission for, and her love at first sight of the farmer she married.
(Yet…. to me, trafficking comes to mind)
Save space on your shelves and keep your brand dry. ❤️
It’s easier to store and extremely easy to hydrate. We make our meals with dry beans all the time.
Excellent video, thank you! I saw that series also, it was great! England had backed themselves into a corner, importing so much of their wheat, and were hard pressed that first year or so after the war started...
I/we do some water bath canning for jellies, pie filling, pickles, pepper jelly, but I live with my daughter, and she is not ready to make the jump to pressure canning, so, I have taken to vacuum sealing dried beans, and have bought some freeze dried goods store canned goods also...maybe this fall, as baby will be 1 year old, and Momma may have more time, energy!
God bless you, thank you.
Love that you started canning berries on the side of the road. We’ve made jelly and syrup from free roadside grapefruits. Supporting your local farm stands are much more important than people realize.
I've hesitated to put my Presto canner on my ceramic top stove. Now that I see you I may try it. I've been using an electric single plate & it takes a long time to get to temperature. Thanks for all your information.
You might also enjoy MFK Fischer's classic book "How to Cook a Wolf" - how to find joy and be creative in the kitchen even during wartime shortages.
I make do with the water bath canner, pickles, salsa, applesauce. There's a pick your own apple orchard in my town. The day before it freezes I drop a twenty in the box and pick until my fingers go numb.
I remember my grandmother making quilts out of rations and my mother telling me that she got twice as many quits out of it because she used things like old clothes and chicken feed bags as toppers for her quilts. I still have a couple of the quilts. I still look at them and think of her. 💕
Hi Jess keep the lid off. It is done much sooner .... u keep the water trapped. if u keep the lid on ....its also much lighter in color ...as the process is much shorter.....try it and see
Thanks for getting out and visiting other small towns nearby. That was my hometown. We actually passed by your place last weekend.
I like hearing the jiggle from the pressure canner. As someone who has never pressured canned it lets me know what it sounds like for when I do have one!
I love wartime kitchen and garden! I also loved wartime farm also on BBC
Watched Wartime Kitchen and Garden from the video when you first mentioned it and just finished Wartime Farm with my husband. We loved it!
Hi Jess, You can also render tallow using water. It goes a lot faster, but you have to do an extra step at the end. Strain through cheese cloth into a bowl and let it set up or put in the fridge. Next day, you can lift the tallow off the top of the bowl and dump the water. You might need to reheat the tallow on low to release any residual moisture. We bought a whole steer Jan of 2021 and I rendered all the leftover fat.
Yay! So glad you like the book. 🤗
My favorite thing about you! You inspire me to do whatever I can. I love buying produce at the farmer’s market or finding a great sale at the grocery store and preserving it. I’ve had my Presto canner for about 9 years now, started out with a water bath canner. Now I have 2 WB Canners and my presto. Our smallest garden will be this year since we just moved but it’s already getting bigger!
Jess I love skincare too! I use a raw beeswax product on my face, and it’s heavenly. The price increased so significantly though, that I’ve been trying a different product that’s a mix of beeswax, royal jelly and olive oil. So far I like it a lot and my skin is soft and glow-y ☺️
I love wartime kitchen garden!! I've watched it several times, especially late winter when I'm itching to get back in the garden.
There is another series, not sure if you have seen it...Wartime Farm. I recommend that one too!!!
Thanks for explaining the tallow. I just made a big batch of Ghee.
Hello Jess and Miah Sowards and family I have had some health issues and haven't been on U Tube much lately and miss your videos but I'm getting better and back on U Tube and I'm enjoying seeing your channel and videos again from Wendy Bertie in Toronto Ontario Canada
LOL! I grew up with my mom using that kind of pressure cooker. I never even noticed the rattle.
I enjoy farmers markets so much! Thank you
Love, love, love kitchen days!! I'm running my first load in our freeze dryer today and planning my first pressure canning adventure :) I've been growing a garden for several years, stocking the pantry, freezing and water bath canning....now it's time to add new skills.
Great show.
Jess, I watched all 8 episodes of Wartime Kitchen and loved it. I have also been very interested in those times for years. Did you see that there is also a Wartime Farm? I’m going to be listening to it today. Many blessings!
So much fun watching you doing your daily routine,
I love that series (wartime kitchen/farm.) I forgot the name. I also want to agree with you about learning to preserve food even if you don’t have a garden. I’ve been preserving food (canning, freezing, dehydrating) for many years. I would buy food from local farms or grocery stores and use them. I only stated gardening two years ago. I will say that it is so much more satisfying when you planted something from seed and grew it then preserved it. It’s fun to eat from your garden in the middle of winter.
I would love to hear about your skincare routine, and products you use. I don't like to wear too much makeup either, and would love to hear about any "non-commercial" or traditional products you would recommend trying! Thanks for everything, wishing you all the best!
I save my bacon grease for cooking and it does pretty good on the shelf, haven't had any go bad but I tend to use it often so it comes and goes rather quickly. Lol. Love it when sautéing or roasting veggies, plus added flavor is a good bonus.
I live in SC and am so excited that your sharing this information, THANK YOU ❤️!
I love the laddies with the pepper jelly ladies they are awesome!
Well done Jess, Farmers markets need more exposure. welcome to come to Adelaide Australia !!!!
I love farmers markets. bunch of cool people out there
I know exactly what you mean about knowing how your pressure canner sounds! I can even listen to two at a time! 🤗
If you can’t buy a canner you might be able to borrow one. I did the first year I had a lot coming out of my allotment (British version of a community garden). One of the other plot holders lent it to me for a weekend in exchange for help repairing their shed roof. Also showed me how to use it which was reassuring.
I was so very fortunate to have been given 2 All American Canners , I have the 921 and the 915 and I live them and use them all the time .
Love you guys! Thanks 👋❤️🙏
Not trying to be contradictory, however; carrots can be water bath canned. We have purchased baby carrots multiple times at our local Aldi when on sale for 69 cents a pound and canned them. I have a pressure canner that is still in the box and never been used. I have canned tomatoes, cabbage, potatoes, carrots,green beans, applesauce, cooked hamburger and homemade spaghetti sauce all using water bath canner. We have friends that live in the mountains, and they water bath can all of their own meat and garden produce as well as fresh venison. You just have to process for longer amounts of time. For example when we do our spaghetti sauce it has to be in the canner boiling for 3 hours. I have never had any issues with using the water bath method.
great video. Blessings. take care. I love farmer's markets. I wish we had them more of them in my town.
