Ac- cording to Kelly Daynard, OFAC's program manager, the purpose of this project was to create awareness and bridge the gap between food producers and consumers. Specifically, OFAC wanted to dispel the stereotype of the "checked shirted, rubber booted farmer that urban dwellers imagine." The cal- tndar is also a "tribute to the tremendous work that these people do 365 days a year to put food on our tables. They are often the unsung heroes." The Faces of Farming concept began in 2002 as an initiative of Ontario Pork to recognize hog farmers and tell some of their stories. Those calendars were pro- duced from 2002 to 2004, but funding ran out. Early in 2005, OFAC approached Ontario Pork and asked permission to pick up and ex- pand the program to include diverse livestock farmers, such as elk, cattle, emu and Local area farmers featured in OFAC's 2006 Faces of Farming chicken. Ontario Pork hap- pily agreed. OFAC printed 5400 calen- dars this year with the support of various agri-businesses and commodity»groups. The federal and provincial>goy- ernments provided some funding through the Agricul- tural Adaptation Council. One thousand calendars were distributed to grocers and butcher shops to remind consumers of how meat is produced. Another 1000 went to every MP, MPP, reeve, mayor, warden and municipal CAO in the province. There are also 900 calendars for sale from the OFAC office. in Guelph, which are selling quickly. Daynard said the photo shoots were a lot of fun. She found most of the farmers reluctant to be models at first, saying they were not "calendar material." Daynard convinced them that as real Ontario farmers, they were indeed material for this cal- endar.
