You’ve come to the perfect place. Here you’ll find our list of thought gift ideas for farmers that guarantee a smile for any occasion or just because.
In this post you’ll find thirty nine or so thoughtful gift ideas for farmers who have everything.
I love buying and giving gifts. Thoughtful, practical and preferably homemade is my style. When it comes to buying for a farmer, these gifts tend to be tricky as I’ve found they usually already have everything they NEED.
You’ll be excited to see the list I came up with of great gift ideas for what that really WANT.
My husband sounds like most farmers when I ask him what he WANTS for his Birthday, Fathers Day and Christmas. He usually says he wants, more land, more cattle, more time and more money.
I’d give him it all if I could, but until we win the lottery these are my usual go to gifts for a guy that likes the outdoors, homesteading and of course farming.
If you’re looking to buy for a farmer that has everything, wether a boyfriend, son, brother, father, or a woman ( shocking I know 😉 that loves to farm than you’ve come to the right place.

PERFECT GIFTS FOR FARMERS
1. Personalized Business Labels /Stationary
There’s something special about getting a personalized set of labels for your farm. Who doesn’t love inking a stamp and slamming it onto the paper or better yet a farm fresh egg.
Help your farmer find their inner child all while feeling legitimate as a farm with a label or stamp.
A custom stamp set for your family farm is the perfect way to add your logo or family name to your farm to table goods! we will customize your stamp to fit your farm’s needs!
This year I went with labels for our highland beef packaging from Boxwood Avenue on Etsy. but there are so many other fun options, like egg carton stamps, mailing labels, a custom address sign.
Lots of options for any budget, just add your own creativity, logo and farm name.
2. Heavy Duty Cowhide leather insulated work gloves
A farmer should already have work gloves, but who doesn’t love a new pair? Especially insulated ones for the winter.
3. Farming Books
There are lots of books on Amazon and online to inspire the farmer in your life. Listening to audio books is also a great option for staying entertained while driving equipment all day. Here are a few of our family favourites.
4. Heavy Duty pruning shears
Soon it will be time to prune the orchard and clean up the woodlot. There’s a certain satisfaction in yearly clean up especially with sharp powerful edges. The Holidays is a perfect time for these tools!
Last year, if I got anything accomplished on our farmstead, it was pruning the old orchard and trees on our property. Our Apple harvest paid off, from the much needed maintenance.

5. Barn Decor
Not just for barn but think of fun signs and decor you could add to your coop, home, shed or garage. Decorating can inspire you and remind you of your why on long days when your not motivated, but also add a sense of humour and lighten the load.
And these decor items will be appreciated, as most farmers don’t often have the time to shop for themselves in this department. Over the years, they can build a collection.
My grandmother has quite the collection of roosters now! Here are some of my personal favourites.

6. Drone
This was the biggest hit under our tree. Save yourself the energy in the dead of winter and see the farm from another point of view.
Take pictures at new angles and check on your herd or flock. Note that our first flight did scare our cows.

7. Business Organization Tools
One of our New Years goals is to take better note of what happens on the farm on a day to day basis as a reference for the following year. We’ve tried this with several methods, like keeping a diary or a farm binder.
I’m thinking keeping it simple with a calendar in the barn will be easier, plus you can grab them at the dollar store in fun themes. I went with the cattle option of course, but dogs doing yoga is always fun.
8. Insoles
At the end of a back breaking day farming or working full time and coming home to do farm chores, one would prefer not to complain about how sore their feet are. Insoles might just make this happen more often.
9.Rain Boots
Seamless, waterproof rainboots are essential on the farm. Where we live, on the west coast, it rains more often than not. It’s easy to quickly slip them on and head to the barn to muck the stalls or fed the chickens.
10. Cookbook
The idea is to eat more home grown food right? Well salads, scrambled eggs and a bbq’d steak can get old after the years. Why not find a cookbook that inspires farm life? Here are a few of my favourites.
11.Work wear
Carhartts are the number one brand that my husband wears for all his work wear clothes. From jeans, to coveralls, jackets and hats- there’s something new that every farmer on the list could use.
12. Collector Ornament
13. Coffee Mug/ Thermos
14. Personalized Farm Hat
15. Farm Themed Calendar
A favourite tractor brand, farm equipment, vintage or farm animal is always a hit.
