What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Self-care and well-being to me means having balanced daily habits, making sure to take time for myself and my needs apart from my farm-work, which often blends into my daily life and it’s hard to separate the two when I am the only one managing all the tasks that need to get done.”

How I might use this $100 self-care award: “I would use the $100 to take a day off and go relax, and get some healing bodywork, because my back could use some tension relief.”

Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: "Regular body work, or going to a yoga class on a regular basis would help with keeping the body and mind healthy and maintaining balance.”
