Summary

Hey, y'all! Welcome to episode seventeen of the Roots and Refuge Podcast.

This week is a throwback to a YouTube video I recorded back in March of 2022 on the urgency to grow food. I thought it was an important topic, enough so that I wanted it to be published in my podcasts. If you caught this video, perhaps this is a great reminder of the why behind what we do.

0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome back to the Roots and Refuge podcast. I'm your host, Jessica Soutts. My friends call me Jess, and I hope you will too.
0:11.8	And here on our podcast, we talk about all things homesteading, gardening, raising animals, a simple life, being mindful in relationships and raising your family in a conscious way, just kind of
0:23.1	the overall farm life and all the things that that entails. We homestead here on 27 acres in the
0:28.1	Midlands of South Carolina and have been sharing our homesteading journey on social media over the
0:32.2	course of the last 10 years. You can find us at roots and refuge.com as well as Roots and
0:36.5	refuge on YouTube.
0:45.1	We're currently working on backlogging some audio tracks of videos that have been released before we had the podcast, specifically some devotional titles and some different titles
0:50.2	that I basically just sat down with the camera and talked for an extended period of time.
0:55.3	I wanted to make them available on this platform as well as their original content on
1:01.3	YouTube simply for posterity's sake and to make it easier to listen to for people who
1:05.8	might just be coming across that content. So today is one of those instances. This is, was a video called the urgency to
1:13.9	grow food. This originally aired on YouTube in March of 2022. And I think it bears truth today just as
1:22.8	much as it did then. I hope you guys enjoy it. Hey all, my name is Jess. This is my greenhouse here at Roots and
1:30.1	Refuge Farm. If you're new here, welcome. If you're not, welcome back. Today's video is
1:36.3	admittedly going to be a bit of a divergence from my normal content. Maybe not. I guess maybe
1:43.4	looking back over the last four years, I've probably
1:45.7	kind of gone here a couple of times, but not super routinely. And today I want to just have
1:52.5	a really frank discussion with you while I plant some flowers. I've got a tray set up here. This is
1:59.2	actually just a recycled tray that I had ordered some plugs and I'm just reusing it.
2:03.6	And I'm starting some Zinia seeds and Calendula and some Hollyhawks and just a variety of things, some Amarith that's all going to be out in our cottage garden.
2:16.6	So today I want to talk about
2:19.9	preparation. I want to talk about food and wisdom. And I want to do that by sharing my own
