What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “To give back to my body/mind that work so hard each day, to nurture and tend to myself so that I continue to do the work that I do and support my community by growing food.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: “I would spend this money getting bodywork, some form of massage. Many of our customers at the farmers market work in the healing arts, so it would be a way to support them in their work as well.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: "Massage and bodywork, supplements, days off to rejuvenate and spend time with loved ones.”
