What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “It's almost non-existent. There's no time for it when trying to keep your own farm alive; that is the priority and your "well-being" is trying to make the farm survive. Not to be dramatic but it's true. And when the farm succeeds I equate that with having done something good for myself and I am well.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: “Definitely for a massage because my back is killing me.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: "Just time to enjoy the farm; look at it and soak it all in instead of my mind constantly running and constantly researching or working. So after that a massage because this really helps my mind and body relax.”
