The search for love continued as two more farmers began their journey to find true love.
Farmers Jarrad and Zac took their first steps towards meeting their future wives with a series of speed dates, each meeting eight hopeful ladies before choosing five to return to the farms.
Romance starts to blossom as the five farmers each select one special lady to head back to the farm early for an unforgettable 24-hour date.
Farmer Dylan wasted no time putting his connection with 23-year-old chocolate shop assistant, Ally, to the test, taking her horse riding to see if she could embrace his cowboy lifestyle. As if that wasn’t enough, he then introduced her to his grandparents.
“My nan and grandpa mean the world to me. If they hit it off, that’ll tick just another box and she’s been good at ticking boxes today,” Dylan said.
Old-fashioned chivalry was on the menu for Farmer Zac’s date with 25-year-old environmental scientist Grace, as he hoped his homemade apple crumble would sweeten the evening. Nervous, he said: “A bit of mixed emotions going into this. It’s exciting. It’s scary. Definitely the first time I’ve cooked an apple crumble for a girl.”
The date soon turned more serious, with Grace asking the big question – was this romance or just friendship? Reassured by Zac’s answer, she made the first move, sealing the moment with a kiss.
Farmer Jason’s romantic outdoor setup for his date with 28-year-old vet Beth hit a snag, forcing a last-minute move indoors. Opening up, Jason shared his biggest concern when dating single mums: “I think the major issue I’ve had is dating single mums. They can’t move for custody reasons, which is quite understandable. Being a mum, I hope Beth can move to the farm someday.”
Reassuring him, Beth said, “I just want to let you know that there’s nothing really holding me back from coming out here.”
Farmer Jarrad leaned into his romantic side, setting the scene with a magical candlelit bonfire date for 31-year-old fertility nurse Carly. “I’m so glad that I picked Carly, she is a quieter, sort of more reserved type of person. I’ve got a great connection with her. She’s very special.”
After reflecting on the day, Alex decided to go all in on his date with 30-year-old Eddy, surprising her with a gold pendant featuring a mother of pearl – a symbol of divine femininity. Eddy was touched by the gesture and made to feel truly special.
