Calendars - Part 69

 The Farmers Calendar

Today we look at the 2025 Farmers Calendar, produced in Devon, England.

The Farmers Calendar is the brainchild of Nicola de Pulford, a photographer who has a small farm in Devon.

Mr. January is Lewis, above.

In 1999, export of British beef was banned due to mad cow disease.  Nicola turned to Paul Westlake, a young local farmer, and suggested another way to sell beef, i.e. a calendar of naked men, if he would agree to be a model.

Mr. February is Huw.

Paul agreed, and they rounded up eleven other guys as models.  Nicola photographed them naked and produced the first Farmers Calendar for the year 2000.

Mr. March is Nathan.

Nicola got 10,000 calendars printed, and their sale raised £5,000 for a charity.  Since then she has produced a calendar every year.

Mr. April is David.

Nicola says that none of the men in her calendars are professional models.  They're all real farmers.

Mr. May is Anthony.  The photo caption said "Finger licking good."

Mr. June is Anthony.

Mr. July is Mike.

Mr. August is Kit.

Mr. September is George.  The photo caption said "You can plow my furrow."

Mr. October is Chris.

Mr. November is John.

And Mr. December is James.

Each year Nicola also produces a Lady Farmers Calendar, a female naked calendar.  Sales of both calendars support charity.  The 2025 calendars are supporting Farms for City Children.
