What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “It is my belief that comfort lends to creativity. Self-care, both physical and mental, means time. Carving out time for self is the hardest part of the equation. Being relaxed is self-care.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: “I would use these funds for an hour massage from a friend in massage. Being able to support another small business is key and would feel great.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: “As I age, body work is becoming more important every season. A steady stretching routine, cardio, and professional body work regularly does me well.”
