Hayley Cooper poses for the charity calendar Photo: MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS
The female members of Young Farmers' Clubs (YFCs) in Winkleigh, Alverdiscott, Buckland Brewer, Woolsery and Shebbear stripped off for the pictures which have now been collected in a 2010 calendar.
The pictures feature the 11 girls completely naked and performing all manner of farmyard chores - from milking the cows and dressing horses to firing shotguns and rolling in the hay. The project was the brainchild of 18-year-old Winkleigh YFC member Hayley Cooper.
She said: "I try and do something for charity every year but this has been by far the most nerve-wracking.
"When I first had the idea and rang around the YFCs to see who was interested, loads of girls signed up but said they never thought it would actually happen.
"When I rang them all back a few months later to say that I had booked the photographer, they were all very surprised and worried - a few even made their excuses and dropped out."
Despite initial worries, the 11 girls met at Hayley's farm in Roborough on Sunday, July 5 and were all snapped in a variety of poses.
Miss June, Georgie Harris of Winkleigh YFC, said: "The day of the shoot was most amusing - especially when the local churchgoers of Roborough turned up for a service and got a good eyeful of me posing for my photo - how embarrassing."
Miss September, Jenny Ashton of Shebbear YFC, added: "I was slightly nervous but after the first photo I was well up for it.
"The only down side of the day was being pooed on by the cow I was standing with - it was extremely funny but I had to be cleaned off while standing naked in a parlour."
Organiser Hayley added: "Both my granddads and my auntie died of cancer so my main motivation for doing this calendar is for them.
"We hope to raise more than £2,000 from sales of the calendar, all of which will go to Cancer Research UK."
