Everything we know about the Farmer Wants a Wife contestants (and their dogs).

It's time. 

Farmer Wants a Wife is back for its 11th season this Sunday, July 4, on Channel Seven. 

The series that has seen nine marriages and 23 babies so far will be working its magic again with five new farmers from around NSW and Victoria.

The farmers will each have eight women to form a connection with over six weeks under the guidance of host, Natalie Gruzlewski. And, you'll be delighted to know, more than one farmer will find love this season.

Here’s everything we know about the contestants (and their dogs) so far:

Watch: Meet Farmer Matt. Post continues below.

Farmer Matt is a 26-year-old beef and fodder farmer from Orbost, Victoria, who "loves a bit of banter".

He's a man of varied music taste, citing "Florida Georgia Line, Blake Shelton, Hilltop Hoods, Metallica, AC/DC and Def Leppard" as his top artists. 

Oh, and he likes the Taken film series "because of the storyline and suspense."

Five years from now, Sam would "like to be living [his] life on the farm with a partner and children in tow".

"I do want children and I would ultimately like to begin a family before 30," he said to Seven.

The women vying for Matt's heart include: 

  • Brydie, 26 (VIC)

  • Luisa, 24 (VIC)
  • Belinda, 25 (TAS)

Sheep farmer Andrew describes himself as a "pretty laid-back, genuine guy who doesn't take [himself] too seriously."

He's into farming, footy, motorbike riding, snowboarding, camping, travelling and... house music. And did we mention he can make his thumb touch his wrist?

It also looks like Andrew is one of the farmers that finds love at the end of the show.

"I came here to do one thing, and I did it. I fell in love," he said to TV Blackbox this week.

As to who it might be who stole his heart, it could be one of:

  • Ash, a 28-year-old sales rep from Queensland. 
  • Lucy, a 30-year-old operations admin worker from Western Australia.
  • Natalie, a 27-year-old radio announcer from Victoria.
