The Irish Farming Calendar for 2019 is here and it’s really quite something

Paul Moore

Farmer Calendar

For that special someone.

Ever find yourself wondering what day it is while simultaneously pondering what a shirtless farmer would look like while he’s playing guitar with an adoring pig looking on?

Good, so we’re not the only ones then.

When it comes to calendar inspirations, we thought we’d herd it all but this latest entry is far from being udder nonsense.

First launched back in 2010 by Ciara Ryan, Farmercalendar.com originally started out as a bit of fun amongst like-minded folk who were eager to raise money for local charities.

Much like the crops in the field, it’s popularity just grew and grew.

The Irish Farmer Calendar is now incredibly popular and the proceeds continue to support their nominated charity Bóthar – an organisation that has been sending livestock to the developing world since 1991.

Good on them.

Anyway, if you happen to know a farmer, or if you’ve got some strange kink (we’re not judging), then this beets all the other contenders on the market.

After all, somebody has to play sweet, sweet acoustic guitar to a pig.

Right? RIGHT!?!?

Clearly, this is the calendar to beat them all, barn none, and you can pick it up here.
