Kilkenny farmer is calendar pin-up!

Back by popular demand, the 2024 edition of the hit Irish Farmer Calendar features hunks of agricultural charm from Cork, Wexford, Dublin, Roscommon, Tipperary and, of course, Kilkenny!
Now in its 14th year, farmers appear along with a rabbit, a goat, a lamb, horses, hens and even a Lambourghini pulling a hay trailor!

The calendar was shot at Nore Valley Park in Bennettsbridge, as well as locations in Dublin, Meath, Kildare and Wicklow throughout the last 13 years. This year’s calendar compiles the best shots, most popular with fans the world over.

The calendar has always been a quirky head-turner, previously beating One Direction, Conor McGregor and Justin Bieber in the calendar charts, not to mention Cliff Richard and Daniel O’Donnell and achieving international recognition with ‘Irish Farmers’ the book, published by McMillan (Dan Brown, Jackie Collins publisher) in the US.

Plans for large self-storage facility in Kilkenny

The calendar has received orders from the US, Australia, UK, Brazil, Japan, Hong Kong, South Africa.
The first order of the 2024 calendar came from New Jersey, followed by Germany and Finland.

Creator of the calendar series, Ciara Ryan, says that 2023 was to be the final edition of the calendar, but the fans cried out for more and as a result the ‘Fan Favourites’ edition was born.

“This year the calendar is a special edition of Fan Favourites featuring images from the last 13 years shot in locations over six counties and featuring the work of four talented photographers. So far, this has gone down a treat with fans and we see new orders coming in every day from all over the world. It is great to see the calendar still has universal appeal in its 14th year.”
The calendar is now available from www.farmercalendar.com for €12.99. It will be available in Calendar Club stores in Ireland and the UK from October.
