The new Irish Farmers Calendar is here.

Now in its 11th year,  the calendar features farmers from Kilkenny, Carlow, Dublin, Limerick, Tipperary and Co. Down. And besides their farmers' tans, all of them "appear in their full (or at least topless) glory along with a goat, horses, a chick, dogs, fish and pumpkins.'   Funds  raised from sales of the calendar are used to support the farming charity Bóthar. The calendar has proven to be a massive, massive hit over the years. It previously beat One Direction, Conor McGregor and Justin Bieber in the calendar charts and achieved international recognition with ‘Irish Farmers’ the book, published by McMillan (Dan Brown, Jackie Collins publisher) in the US. The 2020 calendar was shot on Corballis Farm, Donabate in Dublin, The Hazel House Craft Café and Pet Farm in Tibradden, Rathfarmham in Dublin and Nore Valley Park Pet Farm in Kilkenny. The calendar has received orders from the US, Australia, UK, Germany, Poland and France, Hong Kong, South Africa, with an international audience hungry to see the charms of Ireland’s farms. Creator of the calendar series, Ciara Ryan, says that interest in the 2020 calendar is "far exceeding" previous years - and there's been great feedback so far. The first order for the 2020 calendar came from Alberta, Canada, which was followed by orders from the US, Japan, Russia, UK, Italy and France. The calendar is now available from www.farmercalendar.com for €11.99. it will also be available in Calendar Club stores in Ireland and the UK.
