Topless men feeding sheep while wearing a trusty pair of wellies, it’s that time of the year again.

Now in its 15th year, the highly anticipated Irish Farmers Calendar is back showcasing Ireland’s finest farmers while supporting Embrace FARM, a charity that provides a caring and supportive network for those affected by farm accidents in Ireland.

The 2025 edition features farmers from Cork, Tipperary, Louth, Wicklow and Westmeath.

To follow tradition, the farmers are seen in a place of comfort, the farm while being captured in charming, ‘down-to-earth scenes’ like pushing wheelbarrows, enjoying a cuppa, or even spinning wool.

Creative Director Shauna Byrne said: “I’m thrilled to be part of this iconic project and to keep this wonderful tradition alive. The calendar has a special place in people’s hearts, both in Ireland and internationally. It’s more than just a calendar – it’s a celebration of rural life and the spirit of Irish farming.”

The snaps were shot by Tom Scott of Atom Creates with the stunning back drop of Windrush Farm in Newtown, Co Wicklow setting the scene.

The calendar has garnered a cult following across Ireland and beyond with fans from the US, Australia, Germany and Japan known for picking up a copy or five, while the farmers compete with global stars like One Direction and Conor McGregor for a place on kitchen and bedroom walls.

The 2025 Irish Farmers Calendar is now available for €12.99 at www.farmercalendar.com and will also be available in Calendar Club stores across Ireland and the UK from October.
