Joe is a 33-year-old cattle and sheep farmer from the NSW Snowy Mountains who is about to begin the quest for real love on a brand-new season of Farmer Wants A Wife coming to Channel 7 and 7plus after Easter.
Joe believes he has ample love to offer but admits: “I’ve always struggled with meeting people who want to live the same way I want to.”
Expressing he’s ready to fall in love, he reflects that love empowers you “to take on the world”.
A passionate rugby player, Joe also loves horses, fishing and travel and after living and working around the world, his dream involves bringing his farm back to its full potential.
One of the qualities he’s looking for in his future wife is someone who values family above everything else. He is extremely close to his mother and cared for her during her battle against breast cancer.
Farmer Wants A Wife, produced by Eureka Productions for the Seven Network, is hosted by Samantha Armytage and co-host Natalie Gruzlewski.
This year’s farmers include:
• Farmer Bert, 30 – Wamuran, QLD
• Farmer Joe, 33 – Bombala, NSW
• Farmer Dustin, 26 – Condobolin, NSW
• Farmer Dean, 25 – Kandanga, QLD
