The 2026 season of Farmer Wants A Wife (FWAW) is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated yet, with Channel Seven unveiling a fresh lineup of six farmers ready to find love. Set to premiere between April and June 2026, the show continues its tradition of blending rural charm with heartfelt romance.
Farmer Wants A Wife 2026 Contestants
So, Farmer Wants A Wife is back at it—and honestly, I can’t be the only one who secretly looks forward to this bonkers, wholesome, drama-free slice of country matchmaking every year, right? Channel Seven didn’t wait around; they’ve already dropped the six suitors who, I dunno, might just be the most diverse line-up I’ve ever seen on this thing. If you've ever thought, "Are there really that many single farmers left in Australia?"... well, apparently, yes. There absolutely are, and they’re game.
Let’s just roll straight in. I wanna talk about these the way you’d chat about your mates at Sunday brunch. Oh, by the way, there's no way I can keep this neat—these guys are too much.

Farmer Jarrad
Okay, first up is Jarrad, and honestly, if you’ve ever pictured what an almond farmer from South Australia might look like, it’s probably him. He’s 41, super tall (6’3”!), and kind of sounds like someone who’d be the MVP at a “most outdoorsy” contest. Cooking? Check. Long, meaningful chats? Absolutely. Into fitness? Of course—he makes me feel guilty about my neglected running shoes.
What gets me, though, is he wants someone honest but also chill about life. I mean, don't we all? He says, “Life’s more fun when you’re able to enjoy the little things, support one another, and keep learning together.” Love that vibe: like, could he host a podcast?
Farmer Dylan
Oh, Dylan. He’s only 24, but already a rodeo cowboy and sheep farmer from Cherry Gardens, SA. Honestly, this guy splits his time between riding horses and chasing calves. What a life.
If you hate the idea of dirt or livestock, maybe skip, ‘cause Dylan’s looking for a girl who’ll take the bull by the horns (literally, maybe?). Confidence is kinda the only requirement. I think he gets bored easily, but hey, maybe that’s fun.
Farmer Alex
Now Alex is, I don’t know—different from most of the others. He’s 28, from Kin Kin up in Queensland, and does double duty as a cattle AND mushroom farmer. (Mushrooms? Kinda niche and mysterious.) There’s something artistic going on here; he travels, writes, listens to music, dances, plays sport. If you’re artsy, cheeky, and fun—or just love a guy who’s not dead inside—he might be your jam.
Farmer Jason
Jason is 37, running a dairy farm in Queensland. Friends call him a “gentle giant” (which makes me imagine him towering over everyone with a goofy grin but, sure, why not). He’s outgoing, up for new things, and most importantly, he’s already a dad to two kids.
If you’ve ever wanted a guy who’s bubbly and genuinely positive (plus maybe an instant family) this is the slot to apply for. I mean, does anyone ever not say they want someone positive? Maybe only in reality TV.
Farmer John
Onward to WA! John’s based out in Mogumber, is 37, and wrangles cattle. (You’ll be shocked to hear he loves cars and off-road bikes, because apparently, that’s just Required Farmer Personality #4.) He’s social, determined, apparently very kind—so points for that—and up for adventure.
Wants a woman who’s outgoing, confident, has a great sense of humour. I mean, the bar is high, but maybe not impossibly high? Someone get this guy a GoPro for his dates.
Farmer Zac
Last up—Zac. Another young one: just 24, apple farmer all the way from Forest Range, South Australia. Look, not gonna lie, I never met an apple farmer before but the idea is so cute and wholesome. He’s energetic, sporty, big on bringing people together (probably throws killer BBQs), AND he swears by open communication. He says he needs a driven partner who’ll support his goals, but she should have big goals too. Lots of ambition, lots of honesty. Honestly, sounds exhausting, but maybe that’s just me.
Wait, have I gone off track? I kinda want to circle back to Jason and his two kids—do kids ever help or hinder a budding romance on Aussie reality TV? Actually, now that I think about it, does any actual farming ever happen on this show? Or is every date just quad bikes, hay bales, and people making awkward small talk about regional weather events?
Oh, and for the single ladies thinking, "Could I really be a farmer’s wife?"—well, you can apply, so maybe you should! If there's one thing this show has taught me, it’s that you really never know what’s gonna happen next year. Might be love, might be mayhem, probably a bit of both.
Do you reckon any of these six will actually find The One? Or will it just be another season full of spectacular barn dances and way too many sunset shots? Guess we won’t know for sure until 2026 rolls around...
Where to Stream Farmer Wants a Wife 2026?
Right, almost forgot—how do you actually watch this thing? Classic me. Channel Seven is your main source, and yeah, it should stream on their platform (which, you’ll probably need to sign up for, and I can never remember my password for these things). Last year, episodes landed on 7plus almost straight after airing. Good news? You don’t need cable. Bad news? You might have to sit through a bunch of ads unless you pay up. Is it worth it? Depends how obsessed you are, honestly.
