What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Self-care means putting your physical and mental needs above your day to day responsibilities for a short time.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: “I would use the award to get a massage. My day to day work takes a toll on my body and I enjoy a relaxing massage, but it’s been awhile.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: “This would be out of budget for this grant, but I think farmers/ranchers need peers who understand their situation because sometimes farming/ranching can be isolating.”
