Meet the new crop of farmers looking for love on Farmer Wants a Wife
Hit TV series Farmer Wants a Wife is returning with a new round of eager bachelors looking to bring love to the farm in 2026. Six eligible farmers will seek to harvest romance in a new crop of single women to find their future wives. A nationwide search for single women has begun for those seeking to swap the city for the farm. Here are the farmers taking part: The 41-year-old almond farmer from Riverland in South Australia is an adventure buff. Camping, fishing and water sports are always on the cards. But he does have a softer side, he reminds us. He enjoys cooking for loved ones and meaningful conversations, too. He said romance is all about the "little things". "I've cooked surprise meals, organised thoughtful getaways, and made time to really connect, even just listening when it matters most," he said. A big part of Jarrad's life is his two sons, aged nine and 12, from a previous relationship. "I make sure they know how important good manners are because it's important to me that they grow up to be respectful men," he said. Aww. The hunky South Australian export is the youngest of the farmers at 24 years old. A towering sheep farmer, Dylan prefers "open skies and rodeo circuits" over "city lights and flashy cars". He describes himself as "genuine, hardworking, honest, and resilient". But don't pigeonhole him, he warned. He loves to draw and cares for orphaned wildlife in his spare time. Dylan said he once had a partner end a relationship with him because he was "too romantic". As if there is such a thing? The 28-year-old Queensland export is highly sociable and thrives on bringing people together from different walks of life. The life of the party, Alex loves a dance floor but also enjoys "quality conversation". The cattle and mushroom farmer is a hard worker who hasn't been on a long holiday in years but is hopeful of finding love. "Love is hard to define, but once you have found it, you know you have found it," he noted. "It should not be described with words because it felt. It is beautiful. It is a feeling." The proud Queenslander describes himself as "easy-going" and "fun-loving". At 37 years old, he knows a few things about love and is the most pragmatic of the six. But the proud dad of two young children said he is a "sucker for a beautiful smile" and a relaxed spirit. "I believe love doesn't necessarily complete you, but it makes everything feel better and more meaningful with that person by your side," he said. "My parents have been married for over 40 years, and they're both still in love. I really want that." Jason boasts he makes a great cup of tea and is looking to find someone to share the "quiet moments" of live with. READ MORE: When the filming stopped, which Farmer really ended up with his Wife? The 37-year-old beef cattle farmer from the west is "outgoing, determined" and "loves a good laugh". John said he isn't above dramatic romantic gestures. "I have flown to the other side of the world to surprise somebody that I was in love with, which was pretty romantic," he said. "But I do believe that real romance lies in the everyday things." A motor enthusiast, he said he values health and fitness and and would like a partner who shares those passions. "I like someone that has a softness in their nature, but at the same time a resilience and can handle life's curveballs," he said. The apple farmer from South Australia is the tallest farmer on offer at 194cm and also the equal youngest at 24. He describes himself as energetic and outgoing, and loves sports. "Life is meant to be fun, and it's so much easier when you're happy," he said. He said he is a supreme extrovert who loves socialising and meeting new people. Physical touch is his love language, and he believes open communication is essential for successful relationships.

An outdoor adventure buff, he loves cooking for family and friends and enjoys meaningful conversations to enrich connections. Jarrad is looking for a genuine lady who values honesty and building a strong partnership but doesn't take life too seriously.

This hard-working and resilient farmer splits his time between riding horses and chasing calves, with no two days ever the same. 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, or as he puts it: 'A woman who knows what she wants and is not afraid to take the bull by the horns!' Farmer Alex.

Sport is also a big part of his life — from tennis to hiking, running or the gym — he's happy as long as he's moving. A big fan of live music, Alex's best memories include friends, family and loved ones at gigs or festivals. Open-minded, empathetic and a 'nerd at heart', Alex is looking for someone artistic, fun and a bit cheeky with a lust for life. Farmer Jason.

Outgoing and always up for trying new things, Jason describes himself as a happy-go-lucky person with a good sense of humour. The proud dad is at a place where he's ready to enjoy life more and build a happy, adventurous life together with a partner and his two young children. Jason is looking for a partner who is fun, bubbly and genuine with a positive outlook on life.

A motor enthusiast who loves performance cars and off-road bikes, John describes himself as social, determined, caring and kind.
