What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Being able to take some time to separate yourself from your business and the day-to-day grind of farming, is what I call self-care.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: “I would love to be able to get a massage for my weary muscles. The older I get, the more I realize just how fragile my body is.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: “For me it is therapy. It is the one thing I prioritized this year so that I could take care of my mental health. My insurance only covers a fraction.”
