Farmer Wants A Wife has returned to Australian screens in 2025 with a slew of new contestants looking for love in the country. While the farmers putting their hearts on the table received an early introduction, the identities of the ladies vying for their affections only came to light a week before the show went to air.
Channel 7 unveiled its cast of FWAW contestants, with each of the four farmer to start the series with eight women each.
If you’re new to the show, it’s kind of like The Bachelor-meets-rural life. Contestants still ‘compete’ for love—participating in challenges and going on dates—but there’s the added element of discovering if they’re compatible with their chosen farmer’s lifestyle. In other words, can they handle the realities of living on a farm?
Without further ado, meet the contestants you’ll be watching on this season of Farmer Wants A Wife Australia. (Want to learn more about the farmers? We covered that over here.) Skip to find your favourite farmer’s contestants, here:
- Farmer Jack’s Ladies
- Farmer Thomas’ Ladies
- Farmer Corey’s Ladies
- Farmer Tom’s Ladies
- Farmer Jarrad’s Ladies
Farmer Jack’s Contestants
Farmer Jack is a 26-year-old dairy farmer from Sheffield, Tasmania whose quest for love took an unexpected turn when his mother signed him up for Farmer Wants A Wife 2025.

Sarah, 29

Hayley, 23
Another Karaoke fan, Hayley, 23, is a hospitality manager from Queensland, but just so happens to hale from the Apple Isle herself – and even went to Jack’s school. Could a relationship blossom from this couple’s shared roots? Only time – and a few more episodes will tell.
Olivia, 27
