Thanks for the comments about the ROOTS too, they are staying!
Looks good, maybe have the words turn white on rollover?
I dont like that line after the roots, the part where everything abruptly turns into a different brown. I think the hard edge kills how organic the layout feels. Maybe fade it into the light brown or just make it the same brown as the area above. Maybe alter the background art on the css so that it has little specs of dirt here and there so its not a flat color.
I think you need a better hyperlink color. I cant tell whtas a link and what isnt. Maybe an eggshell yellow with dotted underlines or something would be enough.
Also I think the top art part is taking up too much real estate above the fold. I would snip some of the sky up at the top, about 100px or so so that your beef/content is further up above the fold.
Jimp might be cool if it was bigger also. Its about the same size as the 4 nav items and they feel too similar in hierarchy, yet the font is dramatically different. So you dont want that uncomfortable limbo. I would just make the Jimp bigger you can afford to. Make that really pop, thats your brand.
