While there are so many reality TV dating shows to choose from, the appeal of Farmer Wants A Wife is no doubt in seeing single people learning to embrace a partner — and their life on a farm.
Each year contestants have the opportunity to experience dates on each farmer’s farm to truly understand their potential lover’s unique lifestyle.
With five new farmers in the mix for 2024, all from the east coast of Australia, it’s got many of us wondering where exactly our farmers are from — and whether we could really live in a town with a population of 131 people!
Ahead, here’s where the farmers on Farmer Wants A Wife 2024 actually live.
