What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “I think it's hard not to get all consumed by farming and not neglect yourself. Many aspects of farming are restorative but it's all the other things you have to manage that starts to deplete your energy.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: “I would love a massage. It's been years and the physicality of farming starts to wear down your body and a nice visit to a spa would be magical.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: “Turning off the chores on the farm and focusing on something other than the to do list.”
