The farmer is a single father of two boys, aged 12 and nine. While his sons are a big priority in his life, he also wants to make room for someone special. "I'd love to meet someone who's confident and comfortable in themselves. In the past, I've been drawn to strong, self-assured women. But strength to me also means being able to compromise on the little things, staying open to new perspectives, and being willing to grow together," he says.

"To me love is more than just a word that can be thrown around. It's about showing up every day, building trust, being honest with one another and feeling comfortable."

He hopes to find a partner who is into music, which is one of his great passions. "We do not have to have the same taste, just an equal love for sound," he says. "I am a nerd at heart, and I want to be with someone similar. I would love someone artistic, fun and sometimes a bit cheeky." Although he wants to have kids in the future, it's not something he wants immediately. In five years, he sees himself on a long-term trip overseas with his other half.

"In the past I've struggled to find someone who wants to move to the farm. I don't expect my partner to move straight away because I know it's hard to leave your family and friends, but I'd like someone who is open to doing it," he says. "I want to be with someone I genuinely enjoy being around, someone I look forward to spending time with, who brings energy and lightness to everyday life."
