The 505th recipient is Marta Lynch of PHS Community Farm in East Norriton, PA. Marta writes:
What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Farming is a marathon, not a sprint, so you must do the little things in the short term that allow you to go the distance. My body is the only body I get, and this life is the only life I get, so if I am not prioritizing taking care of it, I am disrespecting my life and body.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: “I would get a deep tissue massage - I have chronic neck/back muscle spasms from farming.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: "Body care - adequate sleep, weight lifting in the off season to prepare your body and stretching/yoga/massage during the season.”
