We’ve Answered All Your Most Pressing Farmer Wants A Wife Questions

Farmer Wants A Wife has always been a fan favourite when it comes to dating shows — the fact that we're still going is proof of that. In 2024, we meet five farmers who are not only looking for their special person, but a partner who can embrace their unique lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

From first impressions on dates to the heartwarming farm visits, there's plenty to keep viewers hooked to the series that's hosted by Samantha Armytage (and occasionally, Natalie Gruzlewski). But, there are many questions that still go unanswered about behind-the-scenes details that make Farmer Wants A Wife the addictive reality TV show that it is.

But that mystery ends here. From where the contestants sleep to the long filming hours, we've rounded up the most frequently asked questions about Farmer Wants A Wife and answered them, right here.

While this sounds like a trivial question, it's definitely one that has crossed many viewers' minds. In a world where reality TV's authenticity is often questioned, it makes sense that people are curious. We can confirm that each of the men looking for love is actually a farmer in real life.

The farmers and the women they are dating all live on the farmers' properties, which no doubt gives contestants as much time as possible to learn what a future life on the farm might truly look like.

The Farmer Wants A Wife cast members are permitted to bring their own clothing, makeup and hair styling products, and prescription medication only. They're also given the heads-up to pack some farm-friendly clothing for the duration of filming.

While the majority of outfits are sourced by the contestants themselves, a professional stylist and wardrobe assistant do check in on what cast members intend to wear on shoot days, to ensure there are no outfit double-ups and that wardrobe is varied throughout production.

Farmer Wants A Wife farewells are usually filmed quite late at night, so when a contestant is eliminated from the show, they are picked up by a member of production and taken from the farm to a hotel for an overnight stay, before travelling home the next morning.
