Thousands of eligible single ladies have applied to meet the farmers. Come along on the journey as they meet their favourites and each invite their special five back to the farm to learn who will spark a love that can last forever.
Through first glances, first kisses, romantic dates and life-changing moments, this season will see every farmer find their true love.
Australia’s favourite bush fairy tale returns with host Samantha Armytage and co-host Natalie Gruzlewski playing cupid, as they guide the new crop of farmers on their journey to true love, and reunite with favourite past farmers and their families.
The road to real love will be even more romantic in 2023 with dreamy overnight dates, luxury country getaways and spectacular surprises that will set the stage for life-changing love stories.
With 170 marriages, five long-term relationships and 388 beautiful farmer babies worldwide, Farmer Wants A Wife is the world’s most successful dating show. In Australia alone, the series has resulted in nine marriages, five long-term relationships and 25 babies – and that’s before this year’s season even concludes.
Brad is a crop and cattle farmer who enjoys being around people. He doesn’t take life too seriously but knows how to be serious when it is needed.

I love being a part of this show. It’s genuine and our motives are pure: we want to help farmers find true love. What could be lovelier than that?
It’s a real honour to be the host this season. I loved getting to know all our gorgeous farmers. And I was so impressed by these women, who hope to make their lives in the country. My job is to introduce them and then try to guide them through the highs and lows of this journey to find true love. Oh, and also guide them through country life.
This is a huge season. For the first time, all five farmers find love, so I’m feeling very happy about my match making skills.
I love this show. This is my 13th season and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. It’s an incredible privilege to help people find love, especially for the farmers and women who have suffered through heartbreak or found the dating world difficult to navigate. Over the years, the show has built a legacy of successful couples worldwide.
Over 16 years in Australia alone! In Australia, we’ve had nine weddings, five long term relationships and 25 babies. The formula to success is really simple: it’s the farmers, ladies and their commitment to finding love. They are genuine, hopeful and open to finding love and when they do, it’s magic.
FARMER WANTS A WIFE season thirteen – premieres tonight 7:30pm and continues Tuesday and Wednesday on Channel 7 and 7plus.
