What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “The things that keep one’s body and mind and soul healthy to continue to be able to grow food for the community. The balance required to farm in this rapidly destabilizing climate, with climate anxiety contributing to so much burnout potential.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: “I would get a deep-tissue therapeutic massage, relieving sore overworked muscles and stress and anxiety.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: “I need regular bodywork like massages to maintain my physically demanding job. I am hoping to invest in a hot tub soon so I can soak sore muscles.”
