Almond Farmer Jarrad values kindness and believes in approaching life with an open mind and heart. He loves cooking for family and friends, an outdoor adventure and meaningful conversations.

Jarrad is looking for a genuine person who values honesty and building a strong partnership but doesn't take life too seriously.

"I value a partner who is family-oriented, caring, and nurturing. Good communication is important to me, as I believe honesty and understanding are the foundation of a strong relationship," he said.

"Overall, I'm looking for someone who shares similar values and is committed to building a meaningful, supportive connection."

A competitive rodeo cowboy and South Australian sheep farmer, Dylan prefers open skies over the glare of city lights.

This hard-working farmer splits his time between riding horses and chasing calves, and says variety is the spice of life.

With a passion for the outdoors and travel, Dylan is happiest when he's connected to nature or caring for orphaned wildlife. Dylan is looking for an assertive partner who is, above all, always honest with him.

"If you tell one lie, you go on to tell ten. So, I need a partner that is just straight up and doesn't play games," he said.

"A sense of humour is always appreciated so that we can laugh amongst the chaos and not take everything too seriously."

Farmer Alex.

This grounded, curious and creative cattle and mushroom farmer is an aspiring traveller who enjoys writing, music and dominating on the dancefloor.

When he's not getting down for boogie, he loves to cook Italian and Japanese cuisine, plus sport is also a big part of his life — from tennis to hiking, running and the gym.

As a big fan of live music, Alex's most cherished memories include friends, family and loved ones at gigs or festivals.

"I would like my partner to appreciate the importance of earnest connection with friends and family. I hope they are someone who stands by what they say and can lead with kindness," Farmer Alex said.

Farmer Jason.

37, Coolabunia, QLD – Dairy Farmer.

This "gentle giant" admits he's a "bit of a softie" who is ride-or-die for his family and friends. Jason is outgoing, spontaneous and describes himself as a happy-go-lucky person with a wicked sense of humour.

This proud dad is ready to make memories and build a happy, adventurous life with a bubbly partner and his two young children — who are his world.

"I would like to find a partner that is family-oriented, as family is really important to me. My kids and my family are a big priority in my life. I am looking for someone that is trustworthy, willing to compromise and ultimately work as a team," he said.

"You can have your own career, and I'll support you in that. But, I'd also love to have someone who is up for travel. I believe that in farming you should still try and get away and explore, not just work every day."

Farmer John.

37, Mogumber, WA – Cattle Farmer.

Growing up on his parents' cattle farm, John had aspirations of owning his own farm one day. With that dream now achieved, John is looking for the right person to share his life with.

John wants a driven, easy-going, confident and adventurous woman. In return, she will get a social, determined, caring and kind partner.

"I am drawn to easy-going, confident, outgoing and friendly personalities. I find a good sense of humour very attractive. I would love to find somebody that is adventurous and who would want to spend their free time travelling, adventuring and exploring with me," he said.

"Ultimately, I am looking for someone to call home, someone on the same page as me and someone to do life with."

Farmer Zac.

24, Forest Range, SA – Apple Farmer.

Farmer Zac thrives in the middle of fun-filled family meals and social events. He has a huge passion for AFL as he's played for the same club since he was six years old.

The 24-year-old apple orchardist loves a laugh and is a baking enthusiast with Crème brûlée and chocolate brownies on high rotation. Zac is looking for someone who is driven, goal-oriented and keen to support him.

"I am looking for someone who is outgoing and confident, that can get along with my mates and my family. I want someone who can fit in anywhere and is able to kick back, have fun and 'take the piss'," he said.

"Honestly, I can be a bit of a joker and enjoy banter. So, a lady with a great sense of humour and a laid-back attitude is what I need. She's got to be a great communicator, who loves a good conversation."

Farmer Wants A Wife kicks off sometime in 2026.
