The 636th recipient is Sarah Rose Kareem of Samad Gardens Initiative in Bloomfield, CT. Sarah Rose writes:
What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “It means physical care of our bodies while doing this backbreaking labor. Care in the way of nutrition, physical/manual stretching, massage, and muscle recovery, and physical rest. It means emotional and mental rest from the overwhelming capacity required to tend to growing crops and manage a farm, run a business and sell products and manage customer concerns.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: ”I would book a manual massage or spa day to recover my body and relax my mind.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: "Getting massages, acupuncture or manual therapy to help relieve tension and stress in the body. Spaces to build community and connect with other farmers.”
