From almonds to apples and a rodeo cowboy too, SA claims half the farmers in the new season of Farmer Wants a Wife.
Farmer Wants a Wife 2026 is gearing up, and the show we love to hate is looking for some “lovely ladies” for their next installment. Out of the six farmers up for grabs, the South Australian line-up is punching well above its weight with half the crew coming from our backyard!
Here’s our South Aussie farmers looking for love…
Go nuts for Farmer Jarrad
Coming in at a rickety 41, Jarrad – AKA The Almond Farmer from Taylorville – might just be proof FWAW finally read the room and added some age to the line-up. He’s selling farm life by pointing out he’s only an hour from the Barossa, but with the mighty Murray on the doorstep, his lucky lady really gets the best of both worlds.
His video package was basically a tourism ad with DILF energy. There was wood chopping, blossom trees and river views. A dad of two, he’s open to more kids, big on family, and reckons kindness, honesty, and a decent laugh are non-negotiable. This old farmer’s wife is already Team Jarrad for the SA pick of the bunch.
Saddle up for Farmer Dylan
At 24, Dylan, the Farmer Wants a Wife Rodeo Cowboy is chasing love from his Cherry Gardens farm. This bloke rides saddle broncs, runs his own western wear brand, sketches in his spare time, and hand-raises orphaned kangaroos. Nawww.
His farm in Adelaide’s foothills isn’t exactly “rural,” but it does mean his lucky lady can duck into the city when she’s had enough of the cow shit and needs a decent latte. Dylan’s after someone confident and up for the ride, literally. Time to dust off the rhinestone belt buckles, ladies.
An apple a day for Farmer Zac
Another 24-year-old, Zac hails from Forest Range, where he works the family’s apple orchard. At 6’4 he’s basically a Granny Smith on legs – tall, sweet, and guaranteed to keep the doctor away.
He’s a self confessed prankster with a love of footy, golf, sci-fi, and baking (yes, crème brûlée is on the table). Apparently he also loves a bit of car karaoke and is a raging movie buff. Zac’s dream is simple – marriage, kids, farm life, and someone who can handle a lifetime of banter and can make him laugh. The only catch is, you gotta get his sisters’ tick of approval or you’ll be sent packing.
The Rest of the Herd
And then there’s the rest of the line-up. Farmer Alex, the mushroom farmer near Noosa, is hunting for his mushroom-loving forever partner (no Erins need apply). He reckons he’s an “interesting person,” and looking for a fungi loving breeder who’s up for punching out five kids . Over in Queensland we’ve got Farmer Jason, the hairy dairy farmer with a shit hot beard. He’s like a big teddy bear, partial to netball and pilates, and is a dad of two. He’s giving all the good vibes. And then there’s Farmer John from WA, a self-made cattle farmer. Run don’t walk to hit play on his video promo. He’s after a sporty spice wife who’s into bald cowboys and adventures.
So come on ladies, it’s time to snag yourself a farmer! Click here to apply for Farmer Wants a Wife 2026.
