What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Self-care means taking time to recharge amidst the season where there are always tasks to accomplish. Especially for me it’s taking time to spend with my family doing some fun activity.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: ”I would likely use the funds to pay for a fun activity with my family like getting food from a local deli and taking a hike or going fishing. I also might get some insoles for my boots!”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: "I think the most important thing as a farmer is being invested in your mission and avoiding burn out. Taking time to be with your loved ones regularly is of the upmost importance to be able to give your best day in and day out. Also, time for self reflection and recreation is important.”
