On Tuesday, October 22, Certified American Grown brought the important topic of farmer mental health and well-being to the forefront through a webinar for the American floral and foliage community.
They were joined by American farmer Marshal Sewell, Founder of Mind Your Melon in this important conversation seeking thoughts, experiences, and access to important resources.
Mind Your Melon is a passion project developed by Marshal and Taylor Sewell. After experiencing the stresses, loss, and grief associated with farm life, firsthand, the couple committed themselves to raising awareness of farm stress and mental health while sharing relevant health and wellness resources within their agricultural community.
This webinar was made available free to anyone in the American floral and foliage community and not just CAG members, as CAG recognizes the importance of creating space to take care of yourself to take care of your farms, loved ones, and community. As such, CAG has made the recording of today's session available for anyone to watch in their own free time.
