We've been hard at work on something super fun lately... the 2011 Farm Girls calendar! Everyone looks amazing and the shoots have been really fun, despite some technical challenges. For example, how do you make August look like November? Outside of a professional studio, there might not be a good answer. We've just done our best to theme each month appropriately, even if we can't conjure up fall foliage or a chilling fog. Also, our current Farm Girl roster includes a farm boy you've probably seen at market; Will French the egg guy. Should we include him in the calendar? We have an extra month without a spokesperson, but some of us don't think a boy belongs in the girls' calendar. Others of us feel that he's a "farm girl" so he should have to take off his clothes just like the rest of us. If you have an opinion, help us out and take the poll to the left- we're really in a deadlock on this one.
So far, we've got 8 shoots down with 6 more to go. Among the completed ones are yours truly with sweet potatoes and lambs, Sarah with watermelons and corn, MC in a canning how to (or how not to), Ashley with our lovely milk goats, and Lindsay cooling off with the pigs. Still left to do are the cover, fence repairs, bucking hay, chickens & ducks, tractor repair, and hopefully a special surprise pictorial.
Like last year's calendar we're planning another with 13 months and a stunning cover, but this time on premium recycled paper. Look for it at market, on the online markets, and on our website in late September and enjoy these outtakes in the meantime:
