'Farmer Wants a Wife' Season 3: Meet the Handsome Farmers Who Are Looking for Love! (Exclusive) (2025)

A new group of handsome men are ready to find love with a big city girl on Farmer Wants a Wife.

Season 3 of the popular Fox reality dating competition series will follow four farmers — John Sansone, Jay Woods, Matt Warren and Colton Hendricks — and their search for the woman they want to live out their days with on their respective farms. It will officially return on Thursday, March 20.

Previously hosted by Sugarland singer Jennifer Nettles in seasons 1 and 2, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley (who is also married to country crooner Brad Paisley) will step in to help guide the farmers on their journeys this season.

"I enjoyed being myself in this show, which was a new experience for me with my first unscripted series," Williams-Paisley, 53, previously said. "Because I’m a city girl who embraced the country life when I married my husband twenty-one years ago, I related to the allure of a farmer for these ladies. I really appreciate how dedicated this show and its producers are in helping these hopeful farmers and women find love."

Ahead of the show's big return, here's what you need to know about the hunky men of Farmer Wants a Wife season 3.

Current Location: St. Louis, MO

Occupation: Soy, Corn and Wheat Farmer

Type of Farm:170-acreSoy, Corn, and Wheat Farm

"John spent his youth alongside his five siblings, learning everything he could about farm life from his grandfather. To this day, he feels incredibly lucky to be in the presence of such an incredible farmer on his great-grandfather's land and dreams of making his family even prouder by finding a partner. At the end of the day, when the hard work is done, he prioritizes studying for his law degree, going on woodland drives with his grandfather, daytime fishing and nighttime frog gigging. John is eager to find his life partner so he can continue the farming legacy and his grandfather can bear witness to the next, most important chapter of his life!"

Jay Woods

"Despite not being initially perceived as a typical “cowboy,” Jay grew up in the country of Alabama on his grandfather’s horse farm surrounded by family — farming, hunting, kayaking, fishing, and anything else that kept him outdoors surrounded by animals. When Jay’s original dream of becoming a pro athlete while playing football at Duke was crushed due to an injury, he began to reflect on the times in his life that made him the happiest to determine his next steps. Choosing to return to his roots was easy, and he’s never looked back. While Jay felt pressure playing college football, it's nothing compared to the massive pressure his mom's been putting on him lately asking about grandbabies! Jay’s looking for a kind-hearted, refined, confident woman who isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty on the farm!"

"Matt’s natural gift for fruit farming makes it look like he’s been doing it his whole life, but it wasn’t until in the last few years when his sister-in-law’s parents tragically passed away, that he traded in his real estate house flipping hammer for a harvesting hoe. Matt dove deeply into the agriculture industry and has worked alongside his brother and sister-in-law ever since. While he enjoys the loving nickname “Uncle Matt” from his nine nieces and nephews, he’s more than ready for his own little one to call him “Dad.” Matt is looking for someone active and family-oriented who can keep up with the fun of the fruit farming lifestyle."

"Colton is a 28-year-old divorced dad of a two-year-old son. His upbringing on a farm instilled in him the value of hard work, as he spent his early years there alongside his dad. Love, family and ranchingare Colton's top priorities. Colton knows exactly what he wants and has been having a tough time meeting someone ready to be a mom. With his whole family close by and gorgeous property to raise his dream football team-sized family, Colton is looking forward to meeting a partner who knows what they are signing up for."
