What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Self care is very important to me. I have based my whole business on offering self care practices to my local community through the herbs I grow. I believe that, in order to work and participate as a part of the community, we have to take time to rest and be in nature.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: ”The $100 award would be a huge benefit to my farm, especially in the off season like we are in now. It would contribute to self care in the form of peace of mind, as my farm is still small, and income is slow in the winter months. This award would greatly add to my overall wellbeing as well, as I would be able to use it to purchase materials for more self-care materials for myself and my local community.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: "Financial stability is a huge component of self-care, for me. The freedom to create is another. I feel, especially as a farmer, that the ability to consistently purchase supplies and gear for outside work would contribute significantly to my overall sense of self-care.”
