GIPPSLAND Jersey is launching its new 2023 Calendar ‘Farming Conversations’ this week, on Thursday, December 8 and some South Gippsland farmers are featured in it.

No, it’s not one of those sorts of calendars!

The calendar is produced by Gippsland Jersey, and supported by Connect Well, East Gippsland Community Foundation, Orbost Regional Health, Royal Flying Doctors Service and The Stable Door.

It includes 12 “awesome” pictures and the stories of 12 Gippsland dairy farmers, all printed up in calendar form and ready to go public at a special event at Gippsland Jersey Milk Factory, in Lakes Entrance this week.

The calendar will be available online at https://gippslandjersey.com.au/
