Some of the qualities I am looking for in a partner are being positive, respectful, ambitious, caring and being true to themselves.

Occupation: Animal Nutritionist
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.
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.

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.
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.

Name: Madi
Age: 25
State: Victoria
Occupation: Legal Assistant
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.
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.

Occupation: Personal Assistant
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,nmy Tinder radius doesn’t stretch that far unless I pay for a subscription and that isn’t going to happen.
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.

Name: Katelyn
Age: 23
State: Victoria
Occupation: Beauty Educator
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.
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.

Occupation: Dental Nurse
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.
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.

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.
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.

Name: Alicia
Age: 24
State: Victoria
Occupation: Hairdresser
Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
Because I would love to live on a farm, and I would like to fall in love. 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.
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.

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 who doesn’t mind getting dirty but still enjoys frocking up and showing off the beautiful woman that they are.

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.

Name: Renee
Age: 29
State: NSW
Occupation: Recruitment Consultant
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.
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.

Name: Maddison
Age: 25
State: NSW
Occupation: Visual Merchandiser
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.
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.

Name: Lisa
Age: 32

Occupation: Salon Owner
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.
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.

Name: Leish
Age: 31
State: Queensland
Occupation: Hospital Administrator
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.
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.

Name: Lauren
Age: 24
State: Victoria
Occupation: Vet Nurse
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.
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.

Name: Janika
Age: 29
State: NSW
Occupation: Communications Officer
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.
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.

Name: Emily
Age: 29
State: NSW
Occupation: Plant Operator
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.
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.

Name: Ashlea
Age: 32
State: Victoria
Occupation: Pilates Instructor
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.
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.

Name: Ash
Age: 23
State: NSW
Occupation: Social Media Manager
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.
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.

Farmer Harry

23, Dairy Farmer, Kyabram, Vic.

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.
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.
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.
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.

Name: Tess
Age: 22
State: Queensland
Occupation: Psychology Student
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.
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.

Name: Gabby
Age: 22
State: Victoria
Occupation: Social Worker
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.
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.

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.
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.

Occupation: Ski Lift Operator
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.
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.

Name: Georgia
Age: 22
State: Victoria
Occupation: Podiatry Student
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.
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.

Name: Gabrielle
Age: 23
State: Queensland
Occupation: Senior Property Manager
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.
Why did you choose Farmer Harry?
Harry seems like a genuine and down-toearth 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.

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.
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.

Name: Alex

Occupation: Equine
Learning Practitioner
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.
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.

Farmer Benjamin

33, Sheep Farmer, Guyra, NSW.

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. Last year, he stole the nation’s heart with a viral video tribute to his late Aunty.
What are your interests?
Music, art, agriculture, theatre, travel, cricket and sport.
What sort of woman are you looking for?
I am looking for a partner that I am emotionally, intellectually and physically attracted to. I am not looking for a farmhand 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.
What values are you looking for in a partner?
She should be independent, funny and creative. Someone who is open and a good communicator. She should be grounded but not rigid. I’m not sure if these are values, but a woman who has dreams and aspirations is something quite alluring.

Name: Sophie
Age: 32
State: NSW
Occupation: Artist
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.
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.

Name: Molly
Age: 37
State: Queensland
Occupation: Nurse
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.
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’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.

Name: Lyndsay
Age: 36
State: NSW
Occupation: Music Teacher
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.
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.

Name: Jen

Occupation: Fitness Trainer
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.
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.

Name: Hayley
Age: 28
State: Queensland
Occupation: Personal Assistant
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-toearth. 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.
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.

Name: Hannah
Age: 29

Occupation: Events Planner
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.
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!

Name: Erin
Age: 32
State: Queensland
Occupation: Flower Farmer
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 ageappropriate 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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

 

Farmer Paige

27, Sheep & Cattle Farmer, Cassilis, NSW.

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.
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.
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.
What values are you looking for in a partner?
Honesty, respect, sense of humour and reliability.

I’m keen to challenge myself and get outside of my comfort zone. Born and raised in Western Sydney, you can

Why did you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife?
I am looking for someone genuine to spend my life with. I spent the first half of my childhood in the Blue Mountains, then a country town. Growing up, my dad was a horticulturist, and my mum was a teacher, we were a self-sufficient hands-on family. I was named after a local cattle farmer and had a kelpie when I was younger because I love working dogs. I love the idea of building a life from the ground up. I want to be around animals and growing food for the local community.

Paige is driven and she seems like an amazing woman who has given so much to her life.

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.
Why did you choose Farmer Paige?
I read her profile and she seems easygoing, 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.
