What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “For me, self-care and well-being in farming mean learning to care for myself with the same attention I give to the land. It’s not about spa days or vacations—it’s about the daily choices that make this work sustainable for the long haul.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: ”I’d put the $100 award toward my massage therapist budget. Farming is hard on the body—long hours of lifting, bending, and repetitive work take a real toll over time. Regular bodywork helps me stay mobile, manage pain, and prevent small strains from becoming bigger problems.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: "The most important self-care needs for me as a farmer all come back to maintaining a strong, healthy body and a clear mind. Farming is physical work, and it’s also emotional work—it requires endurance, adaptability, and focus every day.”
