What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Our family works every day on our 11 generation family farm, as well as our butcher shop and farmer's market booth. We raise and market the meat from our animals. Self-care means being able to spend time with family without focusing on work.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: “It would be nice to enjoy a family meal together just to relax and enjoy each other's company. I would love to be able to hire a private chef to prepare a gourmet dinner of our meats for the family.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: “Family time away from the pressure of the business and work stress for a little while, having time to focus on strengthening family connections, remembering the love that we have for each other.”
