Real Farmer Care

Real Farmer Care’s mission is to support the farmers who sustain our communities by delivering direct self-care grants and wellness programming that give them the financial permission and practical means to care for themselves — body, mind, and spirit. When farmers are well, everything they steward is stronger for it.

Real Farmer Care seeks funding to ensure that every farmer who sustains our food system has access to the physical, mental, and emotional self-care they need to keep farming. Funds will be used to deliver direct micro-grants of $200 to $1,000 to farmers across the United States, covering costs such as therapy, bodywork, yoga and fitness memberships, and other wellbeing services that farmers consistently report they cannot afford without support.
