Farmer Wants A Wife 2025 has officially kicked off!
This year, Farmers Thomas, Corey, Tom and Jarrad are looking for love.
We can’t wait to see which lady each farmer ends up choosing…
In the meantime, stay up to date with our Farmer Wants A Wife 2025 recaps — but beware, there are spoilers ahead!
A full recap of Farmer Wants a Wife 2025 (spoilers ahead):
Episode 10
Episode 10 picked up right where Episode 10 left off; the honesty dinners at Corey’s farm and at Thomas’ farm were still underway.
On Corey’s farm, Chloe asked the ladies why there were so many pointed questions for her. They all said it was not intentional for her to be singled out.
And Jadee ended up leaving the table in tears, because she felt like all of the questions aimed at Chloe allowed Corey to get to know her better and improve their connection, and she didn’t get that same chance.
Meanwhile at Thomas’ farm, Clarette asked Thomas for a private word and confronted him about the “jealous” comment. She then made it clear that she was not happy he couldn’t name any positive non-physical qualities about her.
Once Clarette had finished speaking her mind, Thomas simply said, “Sorry.” She instantly forgave him (??? It was a little too sudden) and they kissed.
The next day, Natalie asked Corey and Thomas to introduce their ladies to their friends. She then revealed that at the end of the day, the friends would choose who gets the next respective solo date with Corey and Thomas.
During the get togethers, Corey’s friends interrogated Keeley, Jadee and Annie, one by one. And they were all asked if there’s “any drama” in the house.
Keeley and Jadee artfully dodged the question, saying it’s not their place to say anything. Annie, on the other hand, threw Chloe under the bus.
Then one of Corey’s mates took Chloe aside and boldly asked her about her “strong personality.” She kept her cool and said anyone who’s described her negatively is likely jealous.
Ultimately, Corey’s friends chose Keeley for the solo date.
Nothing of real note happened when Thomas’ ladies met his friends, but they picked Rachael for the next solo date.
Unsurprisingly, Clarette was disappointed. “It’s hard knowing Thomas will be spending more time with Rachael,” she told producers.
While all of this was going down, Tom met Georgie’s family and then Eliza’s family.
Georgie’s mum really questioned (read: grilled) Tom. It was clear she isn’t too keen on Georgie moving to Tom’s farm if she’s picked to be his ‘wife’.
But Georgie privately reassured Tom that she’s happy to move to his farm.
In a stark contrast, Eliza’s mum was very welcoming and got on quite well with Tom.
Episode 10 ended with Tom making his choice.
First, he broke it off with Eliza.
“I’m sorry Eliza, but I’ve fallen for someone else,” he said through tears.
Eliza stayed composed and hugged him goodbye. But as she walked away, she started to fall apart. “I feel a bit heartbroken,” she told producers.
Tom then professed his love to Georgie.
“I’ve fallen real hard and fast for you Georgie. I’m totally in love with you,” he said. The two then embraced.

Episode 9
In Episode 9, each farmer and their respective ladies undertook a ‘compatibility test.’
There was a little friction during Corey’s compatibility test; Chloe joked she was honest throughout the test, inferring that the others weren’t.
And Jadee took particular offence to this comment and told her to “watch the digs”.
After the tests were complete, each farmer went on a solo date with whomever he thought he was most compatible with.
Tom chose Georgie, Corey chose Chloe, and Thomas chose Rachael.
Tom and Georgie shared a kiss on their date as did Corey and Chloe, and Thomas and Rachael.
Thomas and Rachael’s was particularly sweet; they kissed while dancing in the rain. As Thomas said, it was a “rom-com moment”.
While the three couples were out on their dates, Eliza told producers that she was upset she wasn’t chosen by Tom and she’s not sure where she actually stands with him.
And the day after the dates, Clarette asked Thomas for a private walk and reiterated that she’s got strong feelings for him.
Then that night, there was an ‘honesty dinner’ on each farm. Essentially, everyone was allowed to anonymously submit questions ahead of time and everyone was expected to answer these questions honestly during the dinners.
Chloe came under FIRE during the honesty dinner on Corey’s farm.
She was asked if she thinks she’s disrespectful to the other ladies, she was asked if she kissed Corey on her solo date with him, she was asked if she thinks her “strong personality” clashes with Corey’s “softer personality,” and she was asked if she could be a farmer’s wife with no prior farming experience.
This last question caused Chloe to crack and she cried while answering. Corey then asked to see her alone.
The other ladies became furious that she got more one-on-one time but Corey was simply comforting Chloe.
At the honesty dinner on Thomas’ farm, he was the one being put under the pump.
He was asked what non-physical qualities he liked about Clarette; a question he struggled to answer. She was unimpressed.
Thomas was also asked what his favourite and least favourite thing about each lady is.
And when Thomas said “jealousy” was his least favourite thing about Clarette, she was once again unimpressed.
“I wasn’t happy about being branded as ‘jealous,’” she told producers.
Meanwhile, still unsure about Tom’s feelings, Eliza asked Tom for a private chat midway through their honesty dinner.
“It’s been awhile since we’ve had a chat,” Tom said. Eliza replied that’s exactly the reason she pulled him away from the group.
She then ended up asking, “Do you actually want me here?”
Tom reassured her, saying that he likes her a lot.
“I’ve been really enjoying your company… And you’re definitely here for a reason.”
When Tom returned from his chat with Eliza, Emily asked to speak with him alone.
She ultimately decided to leave as the compatibility test and honesty dinner made her realise that her connection with Tom isn’t that strong.
After she left, Tom took a moment alone to reflect.
He then returned to the dinner table and dropped a bombshell.
“I feel like everyone’s been so honest and open with me, I should be honest with you,” he began. “If I am to be honest, Mady, the connection’s not strong enough… So I think it’s best if we part ways as well.”
She was upset but understood.
We’re of the opinion that he should’ve told her that alone, but what’s done is done.
Episode 8
This episode kicked off with all of the original ladies voicing that they feel a little intimidated by the new ‘intruder’ ladies.
This feeling was then amplified when it was announced that all three farmers had to go on dates with their new ladies.
Thomas had a good time with Laura, Jess and Tayla. Sparks definitely flew between him and Laura.
And Corey had a great time with Annie and Chloe.
“These girls are giving the girls back home a run for their money… I, for the life of me, can’t figure out who’s going home [at the next elimination],” he told producers.
Whereas, Tom didn’t feel a spark with newcomer Tijan while on their date.
And so, the next day during the fifth elimination of the season, it wasn’t surprising that Tom sent home Tijan.
Thomas and Corey had a tougher time trying to decide who to send home.
Ultimately, Thomas didn’t send anyone home, saying he needed more time with every single one of his ladies.
Clarette was not impressed with his decision.
As for Corey, he sent Chelsea home.
She took the elimination well and told Corey, “It’s okay.”
However, she lost it while talking to producers.
“I’m shocked. I didn’t see this coming… This really, really hurts,” Chelsea said with tears streaming down her face.
“I was starting to develop feelings and I thought we had a really good connection.”
Episode 7
Kicking off with a bang, Episode 7 started with all of the Farmers posing for a charity calendar.
Tom stripped right down and posed with sheep fur covering his private parts.
Thomas wore nothing but RFS gear (meaning he was shirtless).
Whereas Corey kept things G-rated and just wore his normal clothes.
While the photoshoot was going on Clarette GRILLED Ellen about her recent date with Thomas.
Did she kiss Thomas on their date? Who initiated the kiss? Was it a good kiss? The questions just kept coming.
After the shoot, everyone headed to the Harvest Festival. Here, Thomas confessed to Corey and Tom that he’d been in touch with Claire.
He texted her after she left the farm, wishing her all the best, and the two texted a few times since then.
Furthermore, Thomas met up with Claire right before the Harvest Festival outside of the show.
Clarette was rather upset when she found out, asking producers, “Why would you want to catch up with someone who didn’t want to be here?”
To make matters worse, Natalie brought in twelve new ladies, four for each farmer.
She then told the men they can only bring five ladies each back to their respective farms.
Ellen decided to go home before Thomas made his decision.
“There’s no point in me staying if he doesn’t feel anything… I feel like we don’t have a strong enough of a connection for things to progress,” she told producers.
Thomas looked heartbroken when Ellen told him she wanted to leave but he took it well.
“I appreciate you being honest… You’re an amazing lady. You’ve probably made me a bit better as a person,” he told her.
Ellen then asked if Thomas could not pick her as one of the five to go back to the farm. He agreed.
Meanwhile, Tom spoke to Emma in private and broke it off with her.
Emma was clearly upset but was a good sport about it.
“If you don’t feel it, I’m glad you’re telling me now,” she said.
Tom then practically ran away from her without so much as a hug or kiss on the cheek. It was painfully awkward.
A car then came and collected Emma. Tom semi-redeemed himself by hugging her goodbye right before she got in.
At this point, Thomas realised Clarette is next-level angry about him meeting up with Claire.
And so, he gave her flowers and apologised.
Thomas then explained, “I only caught up with her for closure and as a friend… I was probably a bit naive and didn’t realise it would hurt you as much as it did.”
Initially, Clarette was not responsive to his apology and explanation.
But after Thomas said he’d “do anything” for her to forgive him and stay on the farm, she kissed him.
The episode ended with each Farmer making his decision.
Corey invited his original three – Keely, Jadee and Chelsea – back to the farm as well as newcomers Annie and Chloe.
After asking Emma to leave, Tom invited Georgie and Eliza back to the farm as well as newcomers Mady, Tijan, and Emily.
And honouring Ellen’s request, Thomas invited Clarette and Rachael back to the farm as well as newcomers Laura, Jess and Tayla.
Episode 6
In Episode 6, each of Thomas, Corey and Tom’s ladies were asked to come up with a date idea.
Then each Farmer had to choose his favourite date and go on it; the catch being that the Farmers didn’t know who came up with what idea.
Ultimately, Thomas chose Ellen’s date idea, Corey chose Jadee’s date idea and Tom chose Emma’s date idea.
Clarette was very annoyed that her date idea wasn’t picked.
“It’s hard to see Thomas and Ellen go on a date… Obviously, it does hurt,” she told producers.
But Thomas was none the wiser…
And all three dates went very well; in fact, all three couples shared a kiss!
Meanwhile, Jarrad met Ash’s family and Chloe’s family.
And after doing so, the young Farmer knew who he wanted to be with: Chloe.
“I love how you push me to want to be a better man and I’m falling for you, and I do hope you are ready to catch me because I would be honoured to have you by my side,” Jarrad confessed to Chloe.
The couple then embraced and officially ended their Farmer Wants a Wife journey.
Episode 5
In Episode 5, all of the Farmers went on solo dates; Thomas with Clarette, Corey with Chelsea, Tom with Georgie, and Jarrad with Ash.
All of the dates went pretty well; Corey and Chelsea, Tom and Georgie, and Jarrad and Ash all shared a few kisses on their respective nights out.
But Thomas was still upset about Claire’s recent departure (she left of her own volition in Episode 4).
However, by the end of his date, he realised that he put all of his “eggs in one basket” with Claire and now needs to give Clarette and the other women a chance.
At the end of the solo dates, all of the Farmers were asked to send someone home.
Corey sent home Hunter and Jarrad – in a shocking twist – sent home both Hunter and Bri.
Whereas, Thomas and Tom refused to send anybody home.
Episode 4
In Episode 4, all of the Farmers and their respective ladies attended Goulburn’s Annual Rodeo.
But before everyone could rush off and have a fun, stress-free evening, Natalie revealed that by the end of the night, each Farmer had to choose a lady for a solo date.
This immediately sent most of the women into a panic; they all wanted to ensure they were picked for the date.
We say most, as Claire was instead struggling with whether or not to leave Farmer Wants A Wife altogether.
“I’m questioning if Thomas is the one for me,” Claire told producers.
Ultimately, Claire made up her mind and privately broke the news of her departure to Thomas.
The 35-year-old was very upset.
“To be honest, it hurts a fair bit,” he said with tears welling.
Aside from Claire leaving, the other things of note that happened in this episode were Corey kissing Chelsea AND Keeley, and Thomas kissing Clarette (in case you’re wondering, the kiss happened before Claire left).
And finally, at the end of the night, Tom chose Georgie for the solo date (to Emma’s dismay), Corey chose Chelsea, Jarrad chose Ash, and Thomas chose Clarette.
Episode 3
Episode 3 kicked off with the remaining ladies arriving at the farms.
And all four farmers got them straight to work!
“I’m actually looking for a wife, not a farm hand… But they have to get involved a bit,” Tom explained.
Then that night, Natalie texted all of the farmers with an update: they must each pick two ladies for a double date, and then one of those two will be sent home.
This, unsurprisingly, made all of the ladies a little bit nervous.
Well, almost all of the ladies.
Less than 24 hours after arriving at the farm, Bridget and Emmie both decided to leave.
A crew member implored them to at least say goodbye to Farmer Tom, but they declined.
We’re still not sure why both Bridget and Emmie left, but Tom took the news rather graciously.
And his remaining ladies — Eliza, Emma and Georgie — were ecstatic as they were safe from the double date elimination.
As for the other farmers, Corey chose Hunter and Rosie, Jarrad chose Maneesha and Bri, and Thomas chose Nat and Clarette for the double dates.
Rosie ended up crying on her double date because she felt very overwhelmed. Corey comforted and reassured her, though; it was actually very sweet.
But later that night, before the elimination, Corey asked Hunter for a private chat. Which led to Rosie leaving the group and having another cry.
Once she composed herself, she returned and privately told Corey she was leaving.
“I can’t fall in love this way,” Rosie said.
In comparison, Jarrad and Thomas’ double dates were pretty uneventful.
And ultimately, Jarrad sent home Maneesha, and Thomas sent home Nat.
We will say that just before the elimination, Clarette asked for a private chat with Thomas.
Once they were alone, she asked if physical attraction was important to him.
And in response, Thomas just upped and kissed Clarette; it was quite a long, passionate kiss too!
Episode 2
The speed dates continued in Episode 2.
And after they were done, Farmer Tom sent home Katie, Kaitlin, and Natalie. Furthermore, Farmer Jarrad sent home Ella, Holly and Imogen.
Then, all four farmers were given the chance to have a 24-hour solo date with a lady of their choosing.
Thomas chose Claire, Jarrad chose Chloe, Tom chose Eliza, and Corey chose Keely.
And multiple kisses were shared!
Thomas and Claire stole a kiss at the end of their date, which Thomas described as the best date he has “ever had.”
Tom and Eliza also smooched at the end of their date.
And shortly after, Tom told producers, “There could be some love blossoming there for sure.”
Corey and Keeley locked lips during their date, too.
“I’m feeling a little bit smitten with Farmer Corey… He’s a good kisser,” Keeley told producers afterwards.
Jarrad and Chloe did not kiss. Although they definitely had a great date.
As a callback to their speed date, Jarrad cooked Chloe a steak with pepper sauce.
He then played her a song he wrote.
And while it was cringy to us, Chloe loved it.
“Jarrad playing his guitar is something I could definitely get used to,” she told producers.
Maybe we’re cynical…
Episode 1
Episode 1 really just set the scene for what’s to come.
We meet this year’s Farmers: Thomas, Corey, Tom and Jarrad.
And we meet the — for lack of a better word — contestants. All of whom are sick of “city boys” and want to settle down with a countryman.
The Farmers then went on speed dates with every single contestant.
Farmer Thomas seemed to have a real spark with Clare; he even told FWAW producers that she was one of his “favourites”.
Whereas, Farmer Jarrad had an awkward encounter with Brianna.
When Brianna told Jarrad she was from Coffs Harbour, he excitedly exclaimed he had family there.
She asked who, and he said, “The Page family.”
“I’m a Page,” Brianna replied. Oof.
Thankfully, there’s no potential for a ‘kissing cousins’ moment in the future as, after further investigation, Jarrad and Brianna confirmed they’re not related — there are just two Page families in Coffs…
In the final moments of the episode, both Thomas and Jarrad had to choose which ladies to bring back to their respective farms and which ladies to say goodbye to.
Ultimately, Millie, Jamie, Ellie, Sophie, Edwina, and Ashleen were sent home.
