In an exciting new season of Australia’s favourite bush fairy tale, Farmer Wants A Wife, five new farmers are ready to follow their hearts down the road to true love.
This year’s farmers include Farmer Ben, 27, from Wingham, NSW; Farmer Benjamin, 33, from Guyra, NSW; Farmer Harry, 23, from Kyabram, Victoria; Farmer Paige, 27, Cassilis, NSW; and Farmer Will, 26, from Berriwillock, Victoria.
Thousands of eligible singles have expressed an interest in meeting the farmers. Join them as they meet their favourites, inviting a special five back to the farm to discover who is made for life on the land and who may spark an eternal love.
Dreamy overnight dates, luxury country getaways, and spectacular group get-togethers will set the stage for life-changing love stories in 2022.
Thrilled at the opportunity to play cupid once more, host Natalie Gruzlewski has a very special helper this time: Former Sunrise presenter, Samantha Armytage, who will appear as a guest. Samantha, who grew up on a farm and is now married to a farmer, is uniquely qualified to assist Natalie in guiding the farmers to love.
Farmer Wants A Wife is the world’s most successful dating show, with 170 marriages, two long-term relationships, and 388 beautiful farmer babies worldwide.
Even before this year’s season ends, the series has resulted in nine marriages, two long-term relationships, and 25 babies in Australia alone.
Farmer Wants A Wife is a Fremantle and Eureka Productions co-production for the Seven Network.

Farmer Ben
27 | Dairy farmer | Wingham, NSW
@FarmerBenAU
Farmer Ben wears his heart on his sleeve, believes in old-fashioned romance and hopes for a long-lasting partnership like he has seen in his parents and grandparents.
Ben shares custody of his three-year-old daughter and is looking for someone who is family focused and loves kids.
Q: What are your interests?
I like outdoor activities such as fishing, camping, bike riding, hiking etc. I love to take my daughter for dolphin watching on my jet ski. I grew up playing cricket and AFL, so love to watch a game on TV or go to a live match.
Q: What sort of partner are you looking for?
Someone who can be my life-long best mate and lover, who is resilient to go through the highs and lows of life together and find the positives out of every situation. Someone prepared to give and take, and to squeeze the best out of the life we build together. Someone who doesn’t mind getting dirty but still enjoys frocking up and showing off the beautiful woman that they are.
Q: What values are you looking for in a partner?
Caring, loving, honest, sincere and selfless. I’m looking for a person who is supportive and kind, not afraid to take charge and speak up, but still have a listening ear and a compassionate shoulder.
Q: What is important to you in a relationship?
Honesty, commitment and trust.
Q: How would you describe yourself in a relationship?
I have a big heart and give my absolute all. I’m not perfect but I’m always respectful, loving and affectionate.
Q: What qualities do you bring to relationships?
Honesty, sincerity and lots of laughter.
Q: Who are you closest to in your family?
My mother, I tell her everything (often too much!). My dad is the hardest working person I know, and I respect his advice. They’ve been married for 30 years, endured many hurdles and tragedies in life, but are still so in love, still hold hands and cuddle on the couch. It’s their relationship that I most admire and wish to replicate.
Q: Do you have any children?
I have a beautiful three-year-old daughter who I have shared custody of. She is my world and I strive every day to be the best father I possibly can be for her.
Q: Would you like to have more children?
Definitely. I’d love my daughter to have a brother or a sister one day. I can’t put a measure on it but would want to be confident in our personal relationship before becoming a family.
Q: What is the most interesting thing about you?
I was born in Bega in New South Wales, started school in Tongala in Northern Victoria, went to high school in Mount Gambier in South Australia, and did year 11 and 12 at a boarding school in Adelaide. I’ve played cricket in England and have made lifelong friends wherever I have been.
Q: Where would you like to be in five years?
Happily married to the love of my life. Making the most of the life’s journey together as a family.
Q: What is your philosophy on love?
True love is for life. You need to give yourself fully to one another. Two parts becoming one whole, inseparable unit that can withstand the storms of life and relish in the views from the summits.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
Reality TV is not where I saw my journey of searching love going. A friend sent me the link to Farmer Ben’s video, and I felt compelled to put my hat in the ring. City dating hasn’t worked out for me so far in finding someone genuine, who is looking for something long term. I have always had a strong pull to the country with a number of family and friends living in country towns. I’ve always felt at home when visiting them.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Ben?
I really valued Farmer Ben’s reflection on his grandparents’ and parents’ love in what he was looking for. It seems like we have a lot of common values, we are both seeking in a partner that I think will complement each other. It definitely helps that he’s pleasant on the eye and genuinely seems like an easy going, fun-loving bloke that I’d love to get to know.
Q: On love and relationships…
Finding love to me means finding your best friend, someone to laugh with, someone who notices when something is off, who will put in the effort and go the long haul. I value the traditional love you don’t seem to find in this modern world of dating. I may look girly, but I will give anything an absolute crack, even if that results in getting my whites dirty. The way to my heart is a good margarita or wine complemented with a nice, rare steak.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I am ready for the next chapter of my life. As soon as I saw Ben, I had an instant attraction to him. He seems kind and down-to-earth, and that is what I want in my partner. I got butterflies watching his video, I knew I needed to meet him. Also, my parents live 15 minutes from Wingham on a 100-acre property, and I lived there for six years while growing up.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Ben?
Farmer Ben’s personality stood out to me. I feel like we would get along well. I see lots of fun, laughs and good times ahead with him. We have another thing in common, we both are single parents.
Q: On love and relationships…
Love is everything to me. It’s such a beautiful thing once you find it. I have been in love once before and I want that feeling again. This time, I want it to be forever. I’m easy going but I love spoiling my partner with surprises and dates at secret spots. In my past relationships, I’ve made the mistake of doubting myself, lacking confidence and not being able to speak up.

Occupation – Plant Operator
Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I grew up on a cattle farm. Sadly, my family lost the farm in the drought when I was 19 and I haven’t lived on a farm since, but I would love to return. With farming in my genes, my true happy place is on the farmland. I would love to find a gorgeous farmer, who could challenge me and make me laugh at the same time, as farmers are the most real men.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Ben?
Ben really caught my eye. He seems very open-minded. I really loved it when he said that the farm is home, but he’s not lost in the city. It’s very much me as well. I don’t need a man, but I want one. I’m looking for my penguin.
Q: On love and relationships…
I am at a stage in life where I don’t need a partner to validate my existence. I just want to share my life with someone to grow as a person. It’s important to me but doesn’t define me.
Name – Ashlea
Age – 33
State – Victoria
Occupation – Pilates Instructor
Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
My family and friends are sick of seeing me single! After watching Ben’s profile video and reading his bio, I was drawn to applying. He has the qualities I’m looking for. I won’t lie being single at 33 is tough. I see friends getting married and starting a family and here I am just the token single gal. Maybe Ben is my man, my farmer.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Ben?
Ben seems proud of his work and himself, I like self-confidence in a person. I find him attractive, but in all honesty, looks aren’t always what I go for (cliché, I know). He seems hardworking, family oriented and honest about his past. He also seems like someone who’s up for fun and is very active. I’m an active person too and love sport, I actually enjoy cricket.
Q: On love and relationships…
I’m sick of being the single friend. Finding love with the right person is important to me. I don’t give love easily because I think it’s something that should be real and cherished, not just thrown around. I’m an independent person, however, that doesn’t mean I don’t want to be loved and love in return.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
My colleague mentioned one of the farmers (not Ben) was cute and I decided to look them up. I have been on a few dates in the past few months with the intention of having fun and meeting new people, but I didn’t think I was ready to meet someone until I read Ben’s profile and watched his video. I knew I had to apply. I am very excited about meeting Ben and at the prospect of falling in love with him.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Ben?
Farmer Ben’s values align closely with mine. I am very attracted to intelligence and the fact that Ben has highlighted this makes him so unique to the run-of-the-mill dates I’ve been on. I also absolutely adore the fact that he values respect. I stopped dating the minute I saw his profile, that’s how committed I am.
Q: On love and relationships…
Love hasn’t been on my radar for a while. I thought I would be single for some time following my previous relationship, but when I read Ben’s bio and watched his video, I knew this was an opportunity I would regret not taking. With this in mind, love has quickly gone from being not on the radar to becoming something I am genuinely looking forward to. And I cringe in saying this, but I smile every time I think about the potential of finding chemistry and compatibility with Ben. I get all giggly and light when I talk about him

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I want to find my life partner. I’ve realised conventional ways of finding love haven’t worked for me, so I am taking a risk to hopefully find a genuine connection. A life on the farm sounds like early mornings, hard work, beautiful sunsets and a whole lot of fun in between. Also, I grew up on a dairy farm and am not afraid to get my hands dirty.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Ben?
As soon as I saw Ben’s profile video, I knew he was the one I’d be most excited to meet. From what I’ve seen of Ben, he has all the qualities I look for in a partner.
Q: On love and relationships…
I’m a hopeless romantic at heart and feel like life is better spent with someone you love. Backrubs are the way to my heart. Reflecting on past relationships, I think I maybe became complacent when in a relationship that felt secure.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I am applying for Farmer Wants A Wife as I would love to fall in love. I grew up on a farm and have always loved the country life. For someone that has lived in Sydney for majority of my adulthood, I always look back on my childhood and am forever grateful for my life on the farm. I hope that I can meet a farmer and bring up my children in a similar way.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Ben?
I was drawn to Farmer Ben after watching his video. He seems like an easy going, hardworking and attractive country bloke. I loved his view on love and the appreciation he has for his grandparents, parents and daughter. I think we would get along like a house on fire.
Q: On love and relationships…
I want nothing more but to fall in love and find my perfect match. Nothing beats the magical feeling of knowing someone is always thinking of you and is your number one supporter. I have always cherished the love my grandparents and parents have for each other. I only wish I could experience the same long-lasting love.

Occupation – Social Media Manager
Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I’m ready to meet my life-long best friend. I’m a hopeless romantic and truly believe that there is a special someone out there for everyone. I’m sick of meeting the same kind of people who have the wrong intentions. I’ve lived my best life and have worked on myself the last four years. I believe I’m ready to step outside of my comfort zone, take a risk and find love with an amazing, genuine farmer who is after the same things in life as me.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Ben?
I love that Ben is very romantic and has strong family values like me. I feel like our morals, values and wants from life align. He’s handsome, hardworking and exactly the type of person I usually go for. And he has a daughter, I love kids.
Q: On love and relationships…
Finding love has always been a dream of mine. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have been around some amazing relationships in my life. My parents and grandparents have been happily married their entire lives and have really modelled what a real, authentic and loving relationship looks like. Witnessing, learning and having the pleasure of growing up around these relationships has shown me what to expect, what I deserve but most importantly, what I want – which, of course, is love.

Occupation – Recruitment Consultant
Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I want to find love and think Farmer Ben could hold that potential. All four of my sisters are married or engaged, and I just can’t seem to meet the person that I truly click with. Perhaps putting myself out of my comfort zone and searching for love in this unconventional way is just what I need.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Ben?
Ben seems like the down-to-earth, genuine Aussie guy that I’ve really been looking for. He takes pride in his appearance which shows he puts his health and fitness as a priority too, which is aligned with me. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and I’m the same. His gorgeous family values really stood out too. I also find him physically attractive. He wants someone who will get their hands dirty but frock up as well, and that’s also me. He’s looking for someone financially savvy, which I am. At 29, I have bought my own apartment in the middle of Sydney and live very independently.
Q: On love and relationships…
Finding love is important and I truly believe in it. I have an amazing life that I’ve built for myself. I’m independent and have been single for over four years now, so love is the only thing missing.
Farmer Benjamin
33 | Sheep farmer | Guyra, NSW
@FarmerBenjaminAU
Benjamin is a self-proclaimed agricultural enthusiast. He has a degree in drama, co-owns a record label, is a DJ, produces music and dabbles in visual arts. Most recently, he stole the nation’s heart by creating a now-viral, heart-warming video tribute to his late Aunty after he was unable to attend her funeral due to border closure.
Q: What are your interests?
Music, art, agriculture, theatre, travel, cricket and sport.
Q: What sort of woman are you looking for?
To put it simply, I am looking for a partner that I am emotionally, intellectually and physically attracted to. Someone who is comfortable with who she is, is passionate about the path and choices that she has made. I am not looking for a farm-hand or labour, but it would be nice if she had an interest in the farm and was willing to be a team-mate around these parts on occasion. Equally so, I want to be able to engage and help her out in her profession or interests. But it’s not a deal breaker. I am looking for someone who I can learn from. That can be anything, like learning fashion trends or how to insert a catheter into a goat.
Q: What values are you looking for in a partner?
I’m looking for a woman who is independent, funny and creative. Someone who is open and can clearly communicate what she’s thinking and feeling. She should be grounded but not rigid. I am looking for someone who isn’t away with the fairies but likes to visit them on occasion. I’m not sure if these are values, but a woman who has dreams and aspirations is something quite alluring.
Q: What is important to you in a relationship?
It might sound cliché: communication and expression are really important. I can argue that raw unbridled passion and intellectual stimulation are magnificently important in a relationship. What good are those qualities if you can’t clearly communicate them. Relationships are fundamentally teams. Communication is critical if this team is going to be able to conquer a little slice of the world, if not all of it.
Q: How would you describe yourself in a relationship?
I have read about the five different love languages – words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time and physical touch – and have attempted to self-reflect. It is tricky because I can’t say definitively that I have any of them comprehensively. These love languages are a lot like farming. To be a farmer, you can’t be a master of one specific attribute. I am a shepherd, mechanic, drone operator, heavy machinery driver, plumber, electrician and a vet, all rolled into one. Same can be said about these love languages.
Q: What qualities do you bring to relationships?
I am a thinker and a listener, so one of the more cerebral qualities I bring is that I will listen, comprehend and engage with what is being presented to me. If I don’t understand, I’ll enquire and question until I do. I am quite open-minded, I’m up for most activities and bits and bobs. If you want to travel, yeah sure, let’s travel. If you want to write a book, sweet as, I’ll help if I can. I am flexible and not rigid in my outlook and if you can construe that into a quality that I bring to a relationship, that would be greatly appreciated. I understand that relationships aren’t all easy paddling. I would be committed to putting the time, effort and energy into making a relationship work.
Q: Who are you closest to in your family?
My father. He’s a smart dude and quite knowledgeable about all things farming. He will forever be my farming mentor and I aspire to one day be his farming equal. There isn’t a day that has gone by that I haven’t learnt something from my dad, whether it’s about farming or about personal development. He is a great man in my eyes, and I am proud to be his son. I love my mum and sister just as much.
Q: Do you have any children?
No.
Q: Would you like to have children?
Yes, I would like to start a family. As to timing, that is a discussion I will have with my partner. I certainly don’t want to wait 20 years to begin. Nor do I want to be fertilizing eggs straight off the bat. A cool, calm and considered approach to starting a family would be my ultimate preference.
Q: What is the most interesting thing about you?
I would like a little mystery on this front. What I think is interesting about me could be as boring as batshit for you and something that I am unaware of could be the most fascinating aspect to you. However, as stated above I am incredibly passionate about music and general creative goodness. Fusing creative and farm life is something that I find quite interesting. Whether this is with sheep art or with drumming in a sheep race with some wooden spoons or even making a mosaic out of beer bottle tops in the shape of a sheep. I like keeping life fun and finding little joys in the smallest things.
Q: What is your philosophy on love?
Omnia Vincit Amor
Q: Where would you like to be in five years’ time?
I would like to be happy and healthy with a partner who is equally happy and healthy on the farm, living our best lives. I am acutely aware that this response is corny. It really is true though. Why complicate things any more than necessary.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
Just for Benjamin. I think he could be the one. When I think of life on a farm, I think nature walks, beautiful sunsets, laughing, star gazing and adventurous fun with some deep, interesting conversations.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Benjamin?
Reading Benjamin’s bio gave me butterflies. It really resonated with me, and I feel like we would connect on a deeper level. I like different and spicy. I feel like no day would be the same with Benjamin. He seems like a ball of fun with a side of sass. Watching Benjamin’s video gave me a sense there would be chemistry between us.
Q: On love and relationships…
Love is important, but I’m not desperate. I’m pretty happy in my current space. However, I would love to add some pepper to my salt. The most romantic thing someone could do for me is surprise me with something fun like camping under the stars, listening to music, skipping around and holding hands. Also, I love someone who can talk honestly and openly, that’s hot.

Occupation – Flower Farmer
Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
There’s a supply issue for eligible men in Gympie. Everyone is coupled up and already having kids. I haven’t met an age-appropriate single man in a year. No day is the same on a farm and there’s always a lot of work balanced with down time. Sometimes farms can be a little lonely at times, but I’ve lived alone most of my adult life and it’s never bothered me. You have to be very practical and realistic when living on a farm. Farming is a team effort, so I’d envision working with my partner on the daily running of the farm.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Benjamin?
Benjamin seems honest, down-to-earth and knows what he wants, which is rare. I don’t see myself as your typical farmer and I don’t think Benjamin is either. We both seem to be very creative which I find to be a really endearing quality, especially when it’s used to express your feelings and emotions. I love laughing and love people with a good and/or wicked sense of humour. Benjamin seems like a really good balance of mature and silly, which makes me very pleased.
Q: On love and relationships…
The way to my heart is to do something unexpected and spontaneous that comes from the heart. My dream date would be to fly by helicopter to a super fancy restaurant, eat good food and drink good wine; because when you live in the country, you don’t get those sorts of opportunities.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I believe that there’s always a chance if you put yourself out there. I haven’t found my partner in crime on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, so I figure I’d better go exploring. I would love to get amongst it on the farm. I want to learn and have an active role in the business. Not much fazes me, I’ll take on most challenges.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Benjamin?
I love that he is both intelligent and musical. Benjamin would be a lot of fun and at the same time, is a deep thinker. I love his sense of adventure and humour. He seems nuts, just like me.
Q: On love and relationships…
I have a lot of love in my life. I love hard and I love fast. What I’m really looking for is a new adventure and a partner to share that with. It’s so important to me that my partner spends the time to get to know my family and accepts them as their own.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
It seems going out to bars and online dating isn’t working, so let’s see if something as crazy as Farmer Wants A Wife leads me to true love. I see myself making cups of coffee early in the morning in my PJs in a kitchen on the farm, before hubby and I do some hard yakka. I see myself running errands in town while he stays back and does the hard jobs. Coming from a small country town, I understand how much work is involved. It’s not easy.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Benjamin?
My initial thought was he is so handsome. Then when I read his profile, I found myself laughing out loud. He seems very smart, extremely witty and I love the dry sense of humour, like mine. Not a lot of people know how to take it. Sorry Benjamin, you may need to lose the beard!
Q: On love and relationships…
Finding love is the most important thing in life, everybody deserves love. I’m all about the quality time. I would prefer you spend your time with me, not your money. Make me something arty. In the past, I’ve made my whole life about the person I’m dating, losing who I was. I won’t do that anymore. The most important quality in a relationship is respect. They have to be able to take a joke and make me laugh. Must be family orientated. At the end of the day, you don’t go home to your friends. You go home and make a life with your partner.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I’ve been pretty unlucky in finding the right person, and I just want to meet someone who is wholesome, caring and down-to-earth. I’ve always wanted to return to farm life and this could be my chance to find the right person to do that with. To me, life on a farm looks like a wholesome home, to build a life with someone full of memories and adventures. Of course, there are challenges, but overall, I see laughs, finding the positive in everything possible and letting loose.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Benjamin?
Benjamin can 100% keep the beard. Own that glorious beard, I’m all for it. He’s an attractive man, no doubt about it. But further to this, Benjamin is an outgoing, open and real guy. He lets his bizarre run free and to be honest, that is rare. I reckon Benjamin and I would be in fits of laughter all the time. But also, easily get caught up talking about anything and everything.
Q: On love and relationships…
I’ve had a rough time when it comes to love. But I have so much love to give and I’m excited to have an amazing journey with our own story to write.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I’ve been single for a while now and I just can’t find anyone. I need all the help I can get. Plus, Benjamin’s responses really caught my eye. I see a balance of hard work and the quiet life on the farm. That said, post lockdowns, I think I’ve learnt that the big city isn’t for me and I prefer working hard for myself. I think there are synergies there.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Benjamin?
The way Benjamin put so much thought into the answers in his bio spoke to me. I crave intellectual stimulation and I feel like I would find that in him. He is clearly a thinker. I am also really attracted to his creative side. It is so good that he not only talks about it, but actually does all the things he loves.
Q: On love and relationships…
I think once you pass 30, it almost feels like a game of musical chairs. Sometimes I feel like I meet someone and they’re way too keen to settle down before they even know me, and I’ve seen that with my mates too. But I’d prefer to take my time to find someone who I feel like I have a genuine connection and am in love with.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I am applying to find love. I have lived in the big smoke of Brisbane for most of my life and I haven’t found love in the city. I think it’s time to try my luck in the country to find my true love. After all, heading country is going back to my roots, as I grew up in rural Victoria.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Benjamin?
Benjamin seems unbelievably endearing. I remember his sheep video and it really touched me. He also seems to have a fun, silly side and I definitely do too. I think we’d have a lot of fun together. He looks like a hard worker. I think he’d be a really hard worker too. I’m also drawn to his ruggedness. There would never be a dull moment with us. Just like he said he’s a double yolker, I’m one of those too.
Q: On love and relationships…
I have always been open to the idea of love. I have been in love before, yet previous relationships have just fizzled out. For me, looking for love is about finding someone worth sharing all the wonderful and beautiful things in life with, on a special level that you can’t share with friends. Also, I survived the drama from my last breakup (I was engaged) so I reckon I could survive anything that life throws at me. I am, after all, The Unsinkable Molly Brown!

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I’ve always dreamt of living on and running a farm one day when I’m older, much like my grandparents did. My best memories are on the farm. I’ve always seen myself ending up with someone who desires the same lifestyle as this, who can work with me in life and teach me new things. Living on a farm seems like coffee at sunrise, before heading out to do jobs, seeing the animals, loving the animals, helping out farmer hubby wherever needed. Cooking lovingly prepared meals, enjoying a sunset with a beer. Live, laugh, loving our way through every day.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Benjamin?
He looks fun. He’s creative and excitable. He’s a great dancer with a great smile and good energy you want to be around.
Q: On love and relationships…
I’m divorced, but I’m still friends with my ex-husband. I’ve never searched for love from a place of lack, or to fill a void in my life. I seek out love to add to my life, to challenge me, teach me, and allow me to grow. To find a union with someone that will push you towards becoming better version of yourself can only then further benefit those around you and make the world even more beautiful.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
Mainly because of Benjamin. I saw his video and thought he was the perfect match for me. I always thought I’d end up on a farm when I’m older. I see happiness and nature, but also see myself being very hands on, loving the life and the work that exists on a farm. A couple of kids, enjoying life and being in touch with nature. I also grew up in the Swedish countryside.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Benjamin?
I’d like to meet Benjamin because he seems funny, a little bit childish and he loves animals. I like that he’s a little bit weird. I think we have the same view on life and how we want to live life – to experience, go for adventures and just do life. I think we’re also both in touch with our inner child. Also, I love the beard.
Q: On love and relationships…
Finding love is so important to me. Everyone needs that best friend in their life, a teammate. The most romantic thing someone could do for me is to show that they have been thinking about me or that they listen to me. Picking up on a small thing I’ve mentioned e.g. they take me to a baking class after I mention I love baking.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
Bondi is full of guys with the Peter Pan syndrome. I have been unable to find love in a general and organic scenario. I want someone to spend time with, not just a friend. Also, I grew up on a wheat and sheep farm till I was nine. I know it’ll be different as an adult; there’s hard work, but it’ll be rewarding.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Benjamin?
I hate to judge by his look, but I think he looks a lot like a 90’s farmer heartthrob. And having grown up on the land, I am partial to a bearded farmer.

I was married young at the age of 23-24. I conformed to what I thought I should do rather than what I liked doing. I don’t even know if I wanted to get married. I was young and grew up in Adelaide, we’d been together two years and it seemed like the natural progression, it is what people did. It was hard to break it off, and looking back on it, it was a big deal at 26. Now, I want a real, mature love.
Farmer Harry
23 | Dairy farmer | Kyabram, Victoria
@FarmerHarryAU
Harry has a bachelor’s degree in Agribusiness and is currently pursuing Certificate III in Regenerative Agriculture. He enjoys cooking, with Italian being his favourite style. He truly believes that preparing a meal and sharing it with someone is a great way to create a strong, lasting bond with someone.
Q: What are your interests?
I really enjoy listening to music, catching up with mates on the weekend, and being outdoors while being active. I also enjoy cooking. I have a deep passion for regenerative agriculture as I love the idea of passing the farm down to my children. I see farming practices that not only care for the land but also improve the landscape as integral to the longevity of my family farm and lifestyle.
Q: What sort of partner are you looking for?
I’m looking for someone who will be honest, knows how to let their hair down, and have fun while also bringing a positive attitude to their life. I want someone who loves to be active and enjoys quality time with their partner as I’m super keen to travel sometime in the near future. I would love to share the experience with someone special.
Q: What values are you looking for in a partner?
Someone who is thoughtful of others, brings a positive attitude and is fun to be around as I love a gal who can let her hair down and have a laugh. I’m also looking for someone who is open and can have healthy discussions and be willing to compromise when it comes to conflict within a relationship.
Q: What is important to you in a relationship?
Being honest, humble, comfortable and to just be yourself is super important. I also want to learn from my relationship and be challenged on my views in a respectful manner and from that, I hope to grow and become a better person.
Q: How would you describe yourself in a relationship?
I’m big on spending quality time together while also doing little random acts of kindness to help brighten one another’s day. I can be very affectionate as I love to cuddle up on the couch to watch some TV. Helping my partner with chores or work out of love, not obligation, is a big thing for me.
Q: What qualities do you bring to relationships?
Sense of humour, as I love to laugh and make others laugh with me to help brighten up their day. I’m also a good communicator, I feel it helps to make compromises within a relationship, as I see it’s extremely important to work together to solve problems.
Q: Who are you closest to in your family?
I’m closest to my mother. She is a lovely person and always goes out of her way to help others including strangers she’s only just met. My mum would do anything for her children and has given up so much over the years for us. It has had a massive impact on the person I am today.
Q: Do you have any children?
No.
Q: Would you like to have children?
Yes, very keen to have children although can’t really put a time frame on when I want them. I think I’ll know the right time to have children once I’ve met the right person.
Q: What is the most interesting thing about you?
At the end of year 12, I decided I didn’t want to do the normal thing of going to the Gold Coast for schoolies. Instead, I booked my first overseas trip to Italy and I can’t wait to travel again so I can experience new foods, people and landscapes.
Q: What is your philosophy on love?
Love and relationships are based on friendship, honesty, respect and being comfortable in your skin around your partner. You’ll know it is love when you think about them all the time and will happily do little random acts of kindness just to brighten their day.
Q: Where would you like to be in five years’ time?
I hope I’m well and truly settled down with the right lady and our dog. Hopefully, we will at least be thinking of starting our family together, while also having done a bit of travelling around the Northern Territory and America. It’s always been my dream since I was a kid to visit Wyoming and Montana as I have family there, though I’ve never met them.

Occupation – Retail Manager
Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
To put it simply, this show was made for me. My whole life I have had an unhealthy obsession for all things country. Growing up, I loved my grandparents’ farm more than anything else and I’m hoping to extend that love to a country man. I have always pictured myself settling down on a farm with the love of my life and hopefully this is the start of that journey. Farmer Wants A Wife has always been something I’ve said I would apply for. Being a city girl, it’s hard to meet the country man of your dreams otherwise.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Harry?
If I met Harry, I think we would have a good laugh, and I could keep him in check when he wanted to be. He seems lovely and gentle, which I find endearing, and I love that he wants to learn from his partner as that’s a huge part of a relationship that I would like as well.
Q: On love and relationships…
My goal in life is to find the person who understands, loves and adores me. He wants to be with me as much as I want to be with them through life’s adventures. It’s everything. I want someone who is honest and good at communication and understands their own feelings as well as others.

Occupation – Psychology Student
Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I was actually encouraged to apply by host Natalie Gruzlewski. Nat gets her morning juice and coffee at the health food store where I work part-time. I am looking for a partner who appreciates the outdoors and animals as much as I do. I thought a farmer would be the right fit. I am willing to put my heart on the line. Aside from that, it is also a dream of mine to live on a farm as I love the animals, open space, work ethic and dedication that comes with farm life.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Harry?
Watching Harry’s video, I thought he had the loveliest smile. I also really resonated with his interests and passions. Mostly, wanting to travel and being passionate about regenerative agriculture. I think we may share similar values, as he seems family-oriented, positive, kind, fun and adventurous. Another ripper take-away from Harry’s profile was that he believes a solid relationship comes from friendship first, and I believe that too.
Q: On love and relationships…
To me, finding love is the point of everything. I have been blessed to have parents that role modelled a loving and happy relationship, which makes me all the more excited to find that special someone. Also, having a family of my own is really important to me, so I can’t wait to find a partner who also wants the same down the line. I think having someone by your side to take on all of life’s crazy, fun and special moments makes each day little bit sweeter. Quality time, words of affirmation and physical touch are my love languages, making me quite an affectionate person who will most likely always want to be close to you.

Occupation – Podiatry Student
Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
Honestly, I want to find a genuine connection with a really awesome person. I’ve struggled in the past finding that spark that makes you crazy about someone. I want to fall head over heels and be giddy at the thought of him. I’ve helped out in dairies in the past, so I’d see life on the farm as lots of early morning work, hot cuppas and sunrises/sunsets in the hammock.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Harry?
Harry seems fun, mature and respectful. He seems to have an awesome attitude to life. I feel like we’d really hit it off. I get smiley reading about him.
Q: On love and relationships…
I want to meet someone that truly rocks my world. If I had that I’d do anything for them. I’m looking for someone to be patient with me and what I’m comfortable with. Someone who has a great relationship with their family, has a deeper emotional and intelligent side and, is motivated and sincere. They need to be up for a good time basically everywhere we go. Not someone who is in a bad mood for silly reasons.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I’ve been on several dates and put myself out there but the quality of men around Brisbane is honestly not ideal. I haven’t been able to find anyone genuine and worth my time. I want someone down-to-earth and I am hoping that a farmer will be the answer.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Harry?
Harry seems like a genuine and down-to-earth guy and that’s what I’m looking for. I have the qualities he’s looking for in a partner. I also find him very attractive. Not that looks are everything, but it’s a bonus.
Q: On love and relationships…
I have so much love to give to the right person, I know that people say you don’t need anyone, and you should be happy being independent. I’m an independent person, but it’s boring doing life on your own. I want someone I can come home to every day and be excited to see them – a lifelong partner and best friend, all in one. I know it is cliché but honestly, I feel like I’m not complete until I have that person.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I am looking for love. Farmer Wants A Wife has been quite successful in the past and I am hoping to find my lifetime partner. I have always seen myself with a farmer as I love that lifestyle. I have been around farmers all my life as my dad is a livestock and station agent and I have worked in country pubs.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Harry?
Harry is very handsome. We share the same morals and want similar things in a relationship. We share similar interests such as cooking, being outdoors and being active. I feel like he is a happy and upbeat person. We share the same view, that is, hoping to grow and become a better person and I believe that in a relationship you must bring out the best in the other person.
Q: On love and relationships…
I am looking for love that is honest and for someone who can wear their heart on their sleeve. I believe love is about finding a best friend first that you can share everything about yourself with and be truly vulnerable around. I am so excited at the idea of having a family and finding a soulmate with whom I can spend the rest of my life with.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I grew up on a mixed enterprise farm and I love my horses. When I imagine life on the farm, I see myself having a warm inviting home with my partner where we can entertain family and friends. I would love to help out with the farm work and contribute to our livelihood.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Harry?
Harry seems really easy going and passionate. I like that he has prioritised learning and we have both accomplished a lot at 23. Plus, we both aspire to travel.
Q: On love and relationships…
Finding love is something significant to me because when you are in love you can share all your goals and dreams with them as well as those tough times that make you stronger. You start to create this story and it’s something to be proud of. Love is wholesome and I want to share that with someone special.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
Why not?! I am single and genuinely ready to fall in love. I’m a big believer in taking every opportunity that comes my way. If that opportunity is going to lead me to the country boy of my dreams, I’d be silly not to give it a shot.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Harry?
Harry instantly caught my eye. I feel our values and interests align and I’m excited by him wanting to travel too.
Q: On love and relationships…
Finding love is incredibly important to me. I have always made my relationships – whether they be romantic or platonic – my priority in life. I have so much love to give and I want nothing more than to be able to share my life with that special someone. I know it may sound a little corny, but I would absolutely love to be able to grow old with someone and to experience life’s ups and downs with a partner by my side.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
If you don’t take a shot, what have you got?! I think life on a farm would be tough but very rewarding. While other kids went on skiing or on beach holidays, my parents took me on farm holidays.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Harry?
I was going to a wedding with my family and they said Harry seemed genuine, down-to-earth and honest with himself. Often, guys my age don’t strike me in that way because I feel guys tend to mature or settle down later than ladies, but Harry seems great and really mature.
Q: On love and relationships…
I want someone who is honest, funny and can find the fun in a range of situations. In the past I have dived into the deep end too quickly.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I’m hopeful that this is the path that will help me find my dream country man. I have tried different avenues to find my perfect partner for a long time. From dating apps to meeting men in an organic way, I have tried what feels like everything. It’s hard to find a man who is ready for a relationship. I’m ready to settle down and find the guy that I can share many laughs with. Life is so short and I’m keen to experience all of these special moments it has to offer with someone by my side. I’m ready to find true love.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Harry?
After watching Harry’s video and reading his profile I was quite surprised at how much we have in common. Harry’s values in a relationship and what he finds important are absolutely aligned with mine. This is such a rare thing to find. He wants someone who is thoughtful, fun, willing to let her hair down and someone who can compromise. I have these qualities.
Q: On love and relationships…
Finding love is incredibly important to me. I know many people think 23 is young, but I am a lot more mature than my age. I would love to find the person who just makes everything align. I’ve been so close at times but unsuccessful, which gave me a taste of what else is possible. Love is something I admire. I’ve watched so many reality TV shows where people fall in love, and it just makes me strive for it even more.
Farmer Paige
27 | Sheep and cattle farmer | Cassilis, NSW
@FarmerPaigeAU
Paige knew she wanted to be a farmer at age 15 and set out to make it happen. She’s independent, confident and has a full cup from her career – now she feels a partner to share it with is the only missing piece.
Q: What are your interests?
I like baking, cooking, rock climbing, hiking and a lot of the things around my lifestyle on farm. I spend my time horse riding, going to rodeos, camp drafts and training my dogs.
I love being with my friends out here, I absolutely adore my two nephews and love spending time with them.
Q: What sort of partner are you looking for?
There is no ideal picture in mind. I’m looking for someone I can get along with, have fun with and enjoy each other’s company. Honesty is one of the biggest things for me.
So much of my life, at work and after hours, revolves around the farm or around farm-based activities like rodeo and camp drafting. I would like to have someone to come with me to the drafts and the rodeos, or join me on the fence line, or be my professional gate opener; just someone to share life with.
Q: What values are you looking for in a partner?
Honesty, respect, sense of humour and reliability.
Q: What is important to you in a relationship?
I want to achieve and keep growing in a relationship and to find someone else who wants to do that with me would be great. They do need to be someone that understands or is willing to learn the life on farm because out here we live the job. You don’t have to be a farmer, but you need to understand things will pop up at 7.00pm on Friday night and you have to fix the fence because otherwise the cows will get out.
Q: How would you describe yourself in a relationship?
Caring. I am definitely not a hopeless romantic, but you know some flowers picked out of the paddock aren’t going to go astray.
Q: What qualities do you bring to relationships?
Thoughtfulness, honesty, quality baking skills.
Q: Who are you closest to in your family?
I am really close to my family: my brother, two sisters and my nephews. I’m really lucky to have them, I talk to them all the time.
My closest friends are my surrogate family and so are my dog. They come everywhere with me whether we are mustering or just on the fence line.
Q: Do you have any children?
No
Q: Would you like to have children?
Maybe. It’s not a deal breaker. I think timing would depend on when I meet the one.
Q: What is the most interesting thing about you?
I grew up in Brisbane and decided I wanted to work in agriculture, so made the move. Even though I’m from the city, I wouldn’t call myself a city girl. I think that provides so much opportunity for growth because you come into the industry and it’s like a different language. There are so many people to learn from and it’s been an amazing transition. I came in during the drought, saw the hardest times there, so coming from that I think it can only get better.
Q: Where would you like to be in five years?
My goals don’t revolve around certain milestones or achievements to meet in five years’ time, but rather incorporating things that make me the happiest in everyday life. I guess the future would be on a property somewhere and just enjoying the same things I do now but with somebody by my side. It’s pretty simple.
Q: What is your philosophy on love?
Actions speak louder than words.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I’m keen to challenge myself and get outside of my comfort zone. Born and raised in Western Sydney, you can imagine the completely different lifestyle I have, I’m keen to experience something new. Most importantly, I’m hoping to find love. I don’t want my family to ask me why I don’t have a girlfriend ever again.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Paige?
I noticed her smile right away and after reading her profile, I think we want the same thing in a partner. We both want someone genuine and kind, a relationship where we have respect for one another.
Q: On love and relationships…
I was raised by parents who are in a loving relationship – they have been together for over 30 years. Their marriage has been a big influence for me and has helped shape my idea of love. Love is very important to me. I hope I can find that person who I can also raise a family and grow old with. I have only ever been in one serious long-distance relationship. The distance was hard and ultimately proved to be the main reason for splitting up.

Paige seems to have similar morals and interests as me. We both value honesty and she gives off a fun and positive vibe that I like to think I have as well. Hopefully, she enjoys a bit of friendly banter.
Q: On love and relationships…
I’ve always thought I would find someone to love. I’ve been single for over two years. The way to my heart would be a fishing trip in the tropics. If I were to plan a date, it would be sunset looking over the water, in a quiet place with a charcuterie platter. In the past, I haven’t stood up for myself and have been walked all over. I’ve definitely learnt from that.

I’ve always liked the idea of this show and now that there’s a female farmer I thought why not.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Paige?
Paige seems very genuine and she’s obviously very beautiful. I also like that she is able to laugh at herself.
Q: On love and relationships…
Love is extremely important. I believe everyone needs someone. I am a hopeless romantic. Loyalty and empathy are very important qualities to me in a partner. In the past, I’ve been attracted to looks instead of substance. I tend to end up with girls who aren’t ready to settle therefore wasting time.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I want to find a nice girl who could potentially be my wifey. I see myself living with her in a farmhouse with few kids who are excited to see me when I get home from work.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Paige?
There was just something about Paige that made me apply – her smile, her warmth – I don’t know but she seems really sweet. I’d love to meet her. There’s something sexy about a girl who isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty.
Q: On love and relationships…
I haven’t met the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I’d love to meet someone with a happy, positive personality, so we can laugh and have fun together. Love is important but not something I want to rush or put pressure on, I just want it to flow. I think I’m a good bloke and will make the right girl feel special and loved. The most romantic thing someone could do for me is make a nice lunch or dinner and we eat it with a view. I’m a simple man.

I normally find these shows corny, but Paige looks like an amazing person that might make it worthwhile. I’m keen to get out of the city and learn more about country life. I’m willing to try new experiences and push myself.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Paige?
Paige seems so real. She’s clearly dedicated and passionate. She acknowledges when something sounds corny which to me makes the whole thing feel authentic. I would love to meet her.
Q: On love and relationships…
What’s greater than love? All the experiences in the world are better if you’re with the right person. You’ve got to find someone who you can be yourself with, and vice versa. Someone who, instead of wanting you to be somebody else, actually helps you be yourself. I get along with people who let you in. We’re very guarded. You can’t find love without opening up.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I love a spontaneous adventure and currently reside in a small country town, so finding it hard to meet women. I’m willing to give anything a go in finding love. I am a fan of the show and the concept; I grew up on a small hobby farm. I picture early mornings, green grass and just enjoying the fresh air along with the hard work. I enjoy being around cattle and livestock. I love how peaceful it is.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Paige?
I read her profile and she seems easy-going, down-to-earth and shares a lot of the same qualities I do. We have similar interests. She is hardworking and honest – that’s important to me. Paige left the big city to chase what she wanted to do, which is what I admire about her. She knows what she wants.
Q: On love and relationships…
Love is so important. I am old school. I want to settle down and have a family. Just having that special person in my life is important to me. I am a simple person, just coming home to see somebody has taken time out of their day to do a simple gesture, whether having dinner prepared or even giving my shoulders a rub will impress me.

I’m at a great point now where I’m happy with who I am. I would love to find my life partner to share adventures with. As a busy working man, and a dad, it’s difficult to make time to meet people in traditional ways. I’m always open to new experiences and breaking the mould, so here’s to giving love a chance.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Paige?
I admire Paige’s ambition and feel we have similar values and goals.
Q: On love and relationships…
Life as a single dad can get lonely. I’m looking for a best friend. For me, love would be ultimate piece in the puzzle of a happy, fulfilled life. It’s a need that is always there in the back of my mind. I’m big on family and really enjoy caring for and helping the people close to me. I want to find that one person to connect with on a deeper level. Help each other through the hard times and make the good times even better. I have so much love to give, I just need the right person to give it to.

I think it would be a great opportunity to meet someone with like-minded interests and see where things go. I grew up on a sheep and cattle property, so I know a lot of ins and outs. My family currently manage a property and I enjoy my time out there. One day I would like to do something similar.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Paige?
She looks very attractive, has an attractive lifestyle and looks down-to-earth. Interesting to see what could be.
Q: On love and relationships…
Finding love is very important. I like romantic gestures, but a beer and a sunset would top the list. You can’t go wrong with that. I’ve made a lot of immature mistakes when I was younger and would like to think I’ve grown out of them. I have been insecure in the past. In a relationship, you should be able to communicate, share the workload around the house and be able to have a social life.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I love being outdoors. My weekends are spent away in rural properties with my family where we camp, sit by the fire and have a good time. I’ve always wanted to find someone who wants the same future as me on a property with animals – an easy-going lifestyle, no city chaos. Living on a farm, I see myself getting up early in the morning, getting my hands dirty, always looking for something to do or fix, getting out to the pub for dinner and a drink, and being able to chill out at home at night by the fire.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Will?
I feel like our values are very similar. We both love outdoors and enjoy keeping fit. I’m very laidback and I think we would complement each other well and would get along great.
Q: On love and relationships…
Finding love is very important to me. I’m independent and secure in who I am so I find it very hard to settle. I want to meet someone who I can connect with, have fun with and build a life with.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I am looking for love. I have always wanted to live on a farm and enjoy the countryside. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been a part of my life up until now. I am genuinely looking for a husband who is driven, smart, funny and, of course, a farmer. On the farm, I see early morning sunrises, farm fresh breakfasts with the family and a long but rewarding day’s work ahead. I also see hours of laughter and teamwork. Don’t judge a book by its cover. I am eager to learn the ways of farming, and not afraid of hard work.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Will?
Farmer Will has such a great energy about him. He seems like a down-to-earth, friendly and kind person. When I read his profile, I felt he possessed so many attributes that I look for in a partner. I love that he enjoys cooking, that he’s family focused and loves adventure. I feel we would get along really well and would be able to talk for hours. He seems to be a genuine soul, and he has such a contagious laugh.
Q: On love and relationships…
Finding love is important to me. And even more important is finding genuine love and connection. I am looking to fall in love like a fairy tale, get married and start a family. Simple gestures mean more to me than materialistic things.

When I think of living on a farm, I imagine having a big beautiful garden I can take care of every day, looking after dogs, cats and other animals. My cat would have to come with me, of course. I’d take pride in the farm and work on making it beautiful, and also work on making a house a home. I want to do it all with someone I love.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Will?
Will seems to be kind-hearted, warm and a family man. I like that he feels that not having a partner is a missing link in his life, because I feel that too. I like that he wants kids. When I saw his video on Instagram, I instantly thought he was cute.
Q: On love and relationships…
I’d like to be happily in love and have a family one day. The most romantic thing someone could do for me is love me unconditionally. My love language is words of affirmation, so I love hand written notes, love letters or simple text messages. Sometimes in relationships I can be too vocal about my emotions and it can overwhelm some people. I’ve never been disloyal in a relationship.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I’m looking to find love in the place that I love. I’m a country girl at heart who just happened to be born and raised in the city. My heart belongs in the country. I moved from Brisbane to countryside straight after school to attend agriculture college. I will never move back to the city. I dream of living on a farm, being married and having a family.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Will?
This could sound a little bit stupid but honestly, as soon as Will laughed in his profile video, I got butterflies. He just seems like a truly genuine guy and someone I’d love to get to know. He ticks a lot of boxes and I think we’d probably never stop laughing if we were in a room together. The way he talked about his family was beautiful. The things he values and wants in life and in a partner match so perfectly with what I want too. Plus, his dogs were really cute.
Q: On love and relationships…
Quite honestly, I think love is everything. You should love what you do, love who you are and love who you’re with. I think once you have love, you can do anything because you will always have that person beside you through it all.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I’ve been on a fair few getaways now and I absolutely love the farm lifestyle. I love getting up in the morning surrounded by animals and nature. When I was younger my family got a Groupon deal for a holiday to a farm in the middle of nowhere and it was honestly the best time of my life. I’m also at that stage where I’m ready to embrace anything. If you ask my friends, they’ll tell you I’ve always wanted to live on a farm. I even had farm animals at my 21st birthday.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Will?
When I saw Will and his photo with his dogs, I asked myself if this guy was even real. He is beautiful. I know it’s really cheesy, but I felt his energy. He seems really authentic and genuine, along with being hard working. I also think our banter is on the same level. His profile resonated with me, He’s in Victoria, which is a win because that’s where I am and plan to remain.
Q: On love and relationships…
I find love and connection so special and rare. Being vulnerable is always a learning curve and I try to embrace it as much as I can. In past relationships, I wasn’t self-aware, hadn’t done the healing from past pain. Also, I gave too much of me and relied on them to make me happy which ultimately never works.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I had my heart broken recently and I’m ready to throw myself into something uncomfortable to find myself a little more and most importantly, find love. Also, I grew up on a farm. My parents own an 800-acre property which I often visit and help out taking horses for rides. I would love to give my children the same kind of farming and country life that I had.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Will?
Clicking on his video, I thought he was pretty good looking. He has nice dark features, which my nonna would approve of. I haven’t even met him yet, but I can just tell by watching his video, we would vibe and have a good time. I’m bubbly, I’m up for trying new things and I love my sisters just like he does.
Q: On love and relationships…
It’s important a relationship has good support, loyalty and communication. When it comes to romantic gestures, keeping it simple is key with me. Just a little picnic somewhere with a nice view, my favourite foods and a cold beer. I’ve been in the wrong relationships in the past and am ready to find a nice guy.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
Everyone around me seems to be settling down lately and popping out kids. I’m no longer attending birthday parties, but engagement parties and baby showers. My mum and dad tagged me in the Facebook post because they never saw me with a city guy. And unfortunately, my Tinder radius doesn’t stretch that far unless I pay for a subscription and that isn’t going to happen.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Will?
He seems goofy and I find it cute. Our interests are quite similar with the active lifestyle and sports. The importance of family and welcoming partners into each other’s family really was super significant to me. I like that he loves a laugh. I feel like he would balance me out and I reckon I would pull him out of his shell a little bit too.
Q: On love and relationships…
I am applying to this on my parents 26th wedding anniversary and they are grossly in love, and I want what they have. I just want a best friend who will give me back scratches for the rest of my life and then push me around in a wheel chair when my knees give way.

Q: Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I’ve been single for the past four years and hoping to meet someone. Unfortunately I haven’t met anyone that I have clicked with and who wanted the same things as me. I’d normally never apply for anything like this, but it just felt right to give it a shot. I feel that Farmer Wants A Wife is a genuine reality show. I’m definitely putting myself out there and outside my comfort zone, fingers crossed it’s worth it. When I imagine life on a farm, I can see myself wanting to definitely help out where I can. I’m not someone who is afraid to get my hands dirty, I am a hard worker and never do anything half-hearted.
Q: Why did you choose Farmer Will?
I saw Farmer Will’s photo and immediately wanted to know more about him. After reading his bio, I could tell he and I were very similar. I value the same things in a partner and in life.
Q: On love and relationships…
Finding love is very important to me. I’ve only had two relationships in my past, and I was cheated on in both, which is why I also have taken the time to be on my own to figure out what I want. I believe once you find your person, you’ve also got a best friend and you complement each other’s life. I am someone who loves love and romance. I would love to share my life and experiences with the right person. Although I am independent and can look after myself, I am definitely someone who enjoys having that best friend and partner to do everything in life with.
