| 0:06.8 | Welcome back to the podcast here at Roots and Refuge Farm. |
| 0:09.8 | I'm your host, Jessica Sauerz. |
| 0:11.6 | My friends call me Jess, and I hope you will too. |
| 0:13.9 | I'm so glad that you're here today on our podcast where we talk about homesteading and food growing, raising a family on a farm, simpler living, |
| 0:24.0 | intentionality, and kind of all the things that go along with that. My husband, Jeremiah, and I have |
