Farmer Nick is third Tasmanian to be on soulmate searching TV show

Attention single ladies! Meet the Tasmanian winemaker looking for love on the new series of Farmer Wants A Wife. He’s ready to share “a lot of wine” and “the best tacos”.

A WINEMAKER from the state’s north is searching for a soulmate, the third ever Tasmanian to join the new series of Farmer Wants a Wife.

Applications are now open for single ladies who’d like to meet and fall in love with a farmer, and one of the six from various towns across rural Australia is farmer Nick.

Nick, 44, is from a vineyard in Deviot and according to his profile, says he would bring “a lot of wine” and “the best tacos” to a relationship.

When asked what the most romantic thing he’d ever done was, Nick said he protected his ex-girlfriend from a coyote while they were watching a meteor shower on top of a mountain.

“I held her hand while she received five or so giant rabies shots,” he said.

“It was gnarly.”

Nick does not have children, and is looking for ladies who are willing to get “dangerous in far, foreign places” with him to apply.

The show has created more happily-ever-afters than any other dating show, with nine marriages and 19 babies in Australia (with another on the way) and 147 marriages and 280 babies worldwide.

The other five farmers who are looking for love include:

Alex from Cunnamulla is one of the farmers that will appear in the new season of Farmer Wants A Wife on Channel 7.
