What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Self-care is taking time to rest to avoid injury and burnout. Rest for me can include time spent with friends and family, reading, and walking out in nature. Self-care also means supporting my body with movement outside of the farm with strength training at the gym or yoga.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: “I may use the $100 to try out some yoga classes in my community.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: "Rest to support energy and a healthier body/mind.”
