What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Doing my exercises so I don't injure myself and taking my staff out for a meal to mark milestones, relax and eat the food that we have grown.”

How I might use this $100 self-care award: “I'd like to use the award to hire a local caterer who buys local food and have him make us lunch and deliver it to us on the farm.”

Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: "Knowing what to do to keep my body in farming shape, especially as I grow older.”
