With 99 marriages and 225 beautiful farmer babies worldwide, FARMER WANTS A WIFE is the most successful dating show on the planet.
In Australia alone, the series has resulted in nine marriages and 20 babies and now it’s back for its 10th season.
Farmer Alex, 29, is a sheep and cattle farmer from Cunnamulla in South West Queensland. The energetic larrikin describes himself as a loyal friend and brother who’s in touch with his emotions. Falling in love and becoming a dad is the number one thing this “love virgin” wants out of life.
“I am fiercely loyal to my loved ones and I hope I can find a partner who feels the same way. I’m also an adventurous soul and need someone who is willing to go on adventures with me, but has the resilience to live in the isolation of the outback.
Someone I have a lot in common with and I could see as my best friend. I certainly want to find her attractive, but what I really want is a woman who shares my interests, is level-headed and is fun with a great sense of humour.”
Farmer Alex’s Ladies

Age: 23
Hometown: NSW
Occupation: Healthcare Consultant
Why did you apply to FWAW?
My previous choice in men hasn’t worked out for me – so I want to leave the initial decision up to someone else! I love the great outdoors (I even own a swag tent) and I want a man who oozes respect, humour and hard work – these are all qualities that I assume farmers have.
Why did you choose Farmer Alex?
Alex seems to be the male version of me. We like the same music, are both the middle child and like to go to music festivals. I really connected to his family values and love that he is a good listener and considerate of others.

As clichéd and silly as it sounds, I really just feel like I’m ready to find that one person who I can count on every day to ask or even just listen to how my day was.
Why did you choose Farmer Alex?
I think we have quite a bit in common – being adventurous, loving a good laugh and wanting to find your best friend. Also, he has a gorgeous smile!
Name: Brooke
Age: 25
Hometown: NSW
Occupation: Printer/Bartender
Why did you apply to FWAW?
Because it scares me to think I’ll be alone. I would love to find the one, settle down and have kids.
Why did you choose Farmer Alex?
His smile catches you immediately, not to mention he has very kind eyes. I want someone who is open about their feelings and emotions and he seems like a genuine, sensitive and kind soul. And he loves live music which is a huge tick for me.
Name: Henrietta
Age: 31
Hometown: QLD
Occupation: Teacher
Why did you apply to FWAW?
I am so sick of meeting banker types that look great on paper but can’t change a tyre! I received an academic scholarship to university so I don’t need a guy that’s good with numbers, but can’t actually do anything.
I love that “country boys” are down to earth with great values regarding family, life and friends.
Why did you choose Farmer Alex?
I found his video entertaining and honest and appreciated that he said being a father is the most important thing to him. And let’s be fair, he’s a babe with kind eyes!
Name: Jessica
Age: 25
Hometown: VIC
Occupation: Real Estate
Why did you apply to FWAW?
I need a man who works as hard as I do but can pull up stumps at the end of the day, have a laugh and a beer and be happy.
Why did you choose Farmer Alex?
Alex seems like he has a heart of gold. His banter game is pretty strong too which would be very entertaining. His priority of having a family lines up with my ovaries and I really admire his altruistic and determined nature.
Name: Nicole

Hometown: NSW
Occupation: Clinical Beauty Therapist
Why did you apply to FWAW?
I have been unlucky in love ‘til now and would love nothing more than to find my perfect partner and start a family.
Why did you choose Farmer Alex?
Alex seems very down-to-earth and easy going. He is driven and motivated, just like me. He is also super cute with lovely eyes!
Name: Sarah
Age: 23
Hometown: NSW
Occupation: Environmental Consultant Assistant
Why did you apply to FWAW?
I have only had one three-month relationship when I was 19. I am old fashioned and want to meet someone face-to-face rather than online which is difficult in our technology obsessed society.
Why did you choose Farmer Alex?
Alex’s strong values regarding loyalty and family are a big thing for me because I’m very close to my family. He loves adventuring and being spontaneous and while he sounds like a bit of a joker, he also seems to have some depth to him.
Name: Tahlia
Age: 23
Hometown: NSW
Occupation: Gym Manager
Why did you apply to FWAW?
I feel like I’m always going for the wrong kind of guy. As my mum says “you need a country man” so here I am!
Why did you choose Farmer Alex?
As soon as I saw his photo my face lit up – he already makes me feel giddy! He appears to have an incredible work ethic and he has a good relationship with his sisters which shows respect and loyalty towards women.
