The 597th recipient is Matthew Went of River Ridge Farm in Portland, CT. Matthew writes:

What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Some time to get away from farm, usually in the form of eating out so we also don’t have to cook that night. But something to just get away.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: ”Probably to pay the babysitter so we can get off farm.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: "Something low effort, low stress that can distract from day to day farm management for a brief period of time.”
