Join in Flanno Season this August!

Flanno Season is Here! Every August, something special happens across Australia. People roll up their sleeves, button up their favourite flannos, and unite for a cause that cuts to the heart of who we are as a nation: supporting our hardworking farmers.

Welcome to Flanno For A Farmer - a national movement of mateship, fundraising and good old Aussie fun, all in the name of helping the people who feed and clothe us.

Flanno for a Farmer began with a single, powerful idea and a heartfelt gesture from the land. Dan, a farmer from Western Queensland, received support from Farm Angels during one of the toughest chapters of his life. That support meant more than words could say.

With his world slowly piecing back together, Dan wanted to do something to give back, not just for himself, but for every farmer who’d ever felt forgotten. He came up with a simple but powerful idea: wear a flanno to show farmers that they are not alone, and raise funds to help others in need.

Out of one man’s gratitude, resilience and hope, Flanno for a Farmer was born.

It has since grown into a national campaign of compassion and community.

Our farmers are facing incredible challenges. From droughts and floods to rising production costs and devastating mental health impacts, rural families are under pressure like never before.

That’s where you come in.

Whether you’re wearing a flanno to work, hosting a morning tea, creating a team fundraiser or simply donating online, every action counts. Every dollar raised helps Farm Angels deliver vital care packs, mental health support and more.

So this August, we invite you to stand shoulder to shoulder - flanno to flanno - with Aussie farmers.
