Living and working in the country, these hopefuls say it’s tough to find anyone to go out with, never mind someone to settle down with! They are ready to bear their souls, and open their homes, in some of the most remote and romantic parts of the country as they set out to find people willing to give country living a try!
Spurring them on is Presenter Anna Geary, who takes the bull by the horns in helping them find the perfect partner. Anna, who grew up on a farm, knows the pitfalls of a busy country life, with not enough hours in the day for working, never mind finding time to look for love. These singletons need a little leg up over various obstacles in their search for love in the country. And she’s just the woman to give them the push!
Over this six-part series, the romantic hopefuls will get the chance to invite potential partners back home to try out their rural life.

The series will follow them through love letters, speed dates, farm stays and on to the final decisions. Will love blossom in the country?
