What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Self-care gives balance for the work I do—which is utterly exhausting some days. Self-care reminds me of my humanity beyond my productivity and helps me to feel at ease within all the ruckus of farming, especially at such a politically fraught time.”


How I might use this $100 self-care award: “I’d be so grateful to have $100 to pay for 10 classes with the local yoga teacher in my rural town of Wellington. Her classes bring me back to life.”


Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: "Over time, I have learned that yoga is the biggest ‘bang for my buck’—more helpful than massages or therapy. It helps me in body, mind, & spirit.”
