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 Harry, 29, farms grapes, cotton and sheep in Goolgowi, New South Wales. The small-town country boy with a big heart enjoys a simple life on the farm and prides himself on being respectful and loyal. Harry says he’d be a supportive husband and a red-hot dad and just wants to come home to a girl who has a positive attitude.
“I’m looking for someone who is easy going, loves a laugh and is not afraid to have a go at new things. She needs to be able to hold her own but also be able to support me, as I will her.
Trust is without a doubt the biggest thing for me. If I can trust someone, the rest will take shape naturally. Loyalty is also important to me, as well as a passion for enjoying life, not just living it.”
Farmer Harry’s Ladies
Name: Ashleigh
Age: 31
Hometown: WA
Occupation: Mechanical Fitter
Why did you apply to FWAW?
I’m a bit of a country bumpkin myself, so I’m hoping this will help me meet a nice country guy who’s really looking for their best mate and love of their life.
Why did you choose Farmer Harry?
I only have eyes for Harry. He’s super cute and I reckon we would get along, especially because he has a calf named T-Bone and I want a pig called Kevin (aka Kevin Bacon) and a cow called Strawberry. I think he’d be supportive of this idea!

Why did you apply to FWAW?
I loved watching this series as I grew up. Seeing people fall in love and knowing some are still together gave me hope that I can possibly have that one day.
Why did you choose Farmer Harry?
Harry seems like a down-to-earth, genuinely nice person. He comes across very loyal and family orientated and ready to settle down. I could see us getting along from the start.

Hometown: VIC
Occupation: Food Stall Owner
Why did you apply to FWAW?
I’m tired of “Tinder Tools” who want to split the bill 50/50 and are only there to R&B (root and boot). I want a traditional man, a tall one preferably, who knows how to drive manual and will chop the firewood whilst I bake a shepherd’s pie for dinner.
Why did you choose Farmer Harry?
Harry seems kind and genuine and the type of guy I could see myself being best friends with as well as a lover. That’s something that’s really important to me.

Hometown: QLD
Occupation: Customer Relations Manager
Why did you apply to FWAW?
I grew up at the end of the trainline surrounded by paddocks, so I’m used to living away from the city.
Why did you choose Farmer Harry?
Harry’s a man’s man with both a serious and sweet side, which is what I’m looking for. I’m drawn to his values and I feel we’re similar in our laid-back attitudes. We would have lots of fun.

I want to find love and a genuine farmer that I can share a life with. I grew up on a farm when I was super young and I’d really love to get back to the country.
Why did you choose Farmer Harry?
Harry’s personality, voice and positive energy had me smiling from ear to ear. Seeing his face light up when he talks about having kids made me really happy! I think he’s a genuine guy, grounded, honest and trusting – all values I respect and am looking for in a person.

Why did you apply to FWAW?
Honestly, I’m so over being single and am so ready for love.
Why did you choose Farmer Harry?
I can tell Harry has a good sense of humour, which is number one on my list. We share similar interests and I know I’ll be able to make Harry a red hot dad, not just an uncle. I could see that life would not be boring with the two of us.

Growing up on a small hobby farm in Tasmania gave me a sense of how fulfilling and rewarding living on the land can be. It also taught me the value of having strong family bonds and a sense of community.
Why did you choose Farmer Harry?
Harry seems really genuine. You can’t fake that kind of sincerity. That’s a quality I’m really attracted to – someone who is true to themselves.
