#215 - Preparing Yourself For Winter

When you 're preparing the farm for winter, do you add preparing yourself to the to-do list? Oftentimes, preparing the animals, shelters, feed storage, and watering systems are the priority. But I think you should be too.

Preparing yourself for winter is more than just stocking the pantry and pulling out your winter coat. Winter can be mentally difficult for anyone. When you add in the stress of caring for your farm through harsh conditions and not being able to avoid going out into the elements no matter the weather, making plans for how you'll face and recover from the difficult times will make all the difference. Not only for your own wellbeing, but your whole farm and household's wellbeing as well.
