Mental Health - Quimby Farm

Running a farm comes with unique mental health challenges that many overlook.
Abigail and Emily Henry open up about the stigma, lack of validation, and grind that farmers face daily. They describe the stigma that farmers need to just "be tough" and deal with any problem head-on without complaint. This can take a hidden toll on mental health.
They explain that farming is often met with surprise, seen as a rare job that most people don't understand. The daily chores never end, and each new day brings renewed challenges.
By giving a voice to these hidden struggles, this video hopes to promote acknowledgment and support for farmers' well-being as they tirelessly work to provide food and steward the land.
