What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “I am a permanently disabled farmer - I work my body and my mind more than is sustainable, and yet that is the work. If I don't learn to take care of myself I won't be able to take care of other people via the farm.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: ”Therapy and/or body care.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: "Getting back into my body rather than being a disassociated propagation machine.”
