Meet the fresh crop of bachelors on Farmer Wants A Wife

This crop and cattle farmer wants to find someone who’s “smart, funny, attractive and knows what they want in life” – and is ready for children! “All my mates have kids and I think I’d make a pretty good dad,” says Brad, who’s a big country music fan. His last relationship ended in heartbreak when the girl he was “madly in love with” didn’t want to move to his home in Cootamundra, a four-hour drive from Sydney.

The oldest of this season’s farmers, Andrew’s possibly also the best mover. “I go to Latin and ballroom dancing lessons once a week,” he reveals. “I also play tennis and golf, and I’m an avid reader and focus on self-growth.” Living on a crop and sheep farm in Narromine, five hours west of Sydney, Andrew says he’s ready to have children within a year of meeting the right person.

He may be young by name and nature, but well-travelled Matt’s already spent time working at agricultural shows in Ireland. He’s now ready to settle down with a lifelong partner. He’s a fifth-generation sheep and cattle farmer, as well as a volunteer firefighter and keen cook. The hopeless romantic says he finds it hard to date in his hometown of Bookham, near Canberra, because he’s “related to half the valley”.

While he may be young, this sixth-generation sheep and cattle farmer’s an old soul when it comes to love. And he’s keen to produce the seventh generation! “I’m ready to take the next step, whether that’s marriage or children,” says Brenton. “Everyone needs love.” The shiest of the bunch, he’s from Darriman, three hours east of Melbourne, and admits he’s “not a big talker”.

He’s not just a fourth-generation apple farmer, but he’s also a musician. David says the most romantic thing he’s ever done is record a song for a girl. From Pozieres, three hours west of Brisbane, he describes himself as “positive, passionate, cheeky and adventurous”. He’s looking for the same qualities in a partner. “It’s important to me that there’s plenty of laughter and smiles,” he says.
