Farmer Wants a Wife: Could Laura Be Farmer Benjamin’s Fate?

Farmer Wants a Wife — AKA my favourite Australian dating show — is back in full swing, and this year’s farmers might just take the cake. They’re all such catches!

This season, we’re following Farmer Ben, 27, from Wingham, NSW, Farmer Harry, 24, from Kyabram, VIC, Farmer Will, 26, from Berriwillock, VIC, Farmer Benjamin, 33, from Guyra, NSW, and Farmer Paige — the show’s first female farmer — who’s 28 and from Cassilis, NSW.

Now Farmer Wants a Wife wouldn’t be Farmer Wants a Wife without some midseason intruders, and that’s exactly what experience farmer’s wife and guest host Sam Armytage has in store for this year’s farmers.

One of Farmer Benjamin’s newcomers is 34-year-old medical receptionist Laura, from NSW.

“I never thought of going on a TV show, but I am in the midst of a ‘why not’ phase of my life and am looking to try something different,” she said in a press statement.

“I’ve always loved watching Farmer Wants A Wife. For some reason, this year when I saw the call-out for the applicants, something sparked my interest.”

Maybe it’s fate?

Laura said that she thoroughly enjoyed reading Farmer Benjamin’s bio, too. Which makes sense. It’s not every day that you come across a “French-electro-DJing, sheep-wrangling, adventuring, amusing and obviously thoughtful farmer”.

“Not to mention I saw him on the morning telly earlier this year after he had done the love heart for his aunt and I just loved that.”

Might love be written in the stars for this newcomer and Farmer Benjamin? Tune in to Farmer Wants a Wife to find out.

Farmer Wants a Wife airs at 7.00pm on Sundays, and 7.30pm on Mondays and Tuesdays, only on 7 and 7 Plus.
