After a dramatic Season 12 of Farmer Wants A Wife in 2022, there's more love to be found as Season 13 is here in 2023. Five new farmers from across the country will appear on the reality TV show this year.
The farmers will no doubt be hoping to replicate the relationship success of some of this year's couples who were together when last season ended: Will Simpson and Jess, Ben Scowen and Leish, and Harry Lloyd and Tess.
Who Is The Host?
While Natalie Gruzlewski has been the main host of the show in recent years, she will actually be the co-host this year.

In 2022, former Sunrise host Samantha Armytage joined Gruzlewski as a guest host, helping guide the farmers throughout the reality TV experience as they embark on their special journey to find love. In 2023, she will be the main host of the show.
Who Is The Cast?
Five farmers from New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland are looking for a partner who can embrace their unique lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of city life. While the 2022 season featured female farmer, Paige Marsh, there are no women in the farmers lineup for 2023.
Farmer David — 29, Pozieres, QLD
While David grew up on an apple farm in the Southern Downs Region of Queensland, there was a period of time when he ventured away from the farm to explore another path.
"After finishing school, I went on to study Civil Engineering at The University of Queensland, which is the industry I worked in until I was 27," he says.
"After this, I was in a position to take the first step in a lifelong plan to join my brother and Parents to form the fourth generation for our family farm."
Contestants matched with Farmer David: Emma, Elle, Lorelei, Leah and Emily
Farmer Brad — 32, Cootamundra, NSW
Brad describes himself as "a bit of a larrikin who enjoys being around people and having a good time."
He also considers himself to be a great communicator who isn't afraid to express his feelings, and hopes to be married with kids in five years' time.
