What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Having a supportive and inspiring community around me, with a farmer network that shares resources (like this one!) to promote comfort and sustainability in our day to day work doing this hard and important labor.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: ”I would use this award to buy a new pair of work boots! It has been around 5 years since I last got work boots, and although I try to take good care of them they are unfortunately cracking and generally falling apart. It would be amazing to have some support in getting new boots that keep my feet dry and feeling ok!”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: "Having the necessary equipment and work wear is honestly so essential, especially in the extremes of the seasons we experience. I would say that being able to stretch and rest well before and after each day of farming is also essential, as is having a crew who can lift each other up.”
