What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Self-care and well-being while operating a farm means finding the time and funds to take care of physical and emotional health, both during extremely busy times of the year as well as times of the year where there is little cash flow.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: “I would use the award towards a membership at my local YMCA. I suffer from seasonal depression and moving my body helps a lot!”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: “My most important self-care needs include preparing nutritious food, getting adequate rest and relaxation, taking care of my body, and socializing.”
