Breanna is looking for country love on Farmer Wants a Wife

The 26-year-old town planning administrator is ready to open her heart as she joins Farmer Wants a Wife.

When the Goulburnian applied for the show, 26-year-old sheep, and sixth-generation cattle farmer Brenton from Darriman, Victoria, caught her eye.

He is one of five farmers who hopes to find a lifelong partner on the show, that has had nine marriages, and 25 children born since it began in Australia.

"I just want a genuine, good person," she said.

"I want someone to love me for me, and just be a best friend in life."

Unlucky in love before, the hopeful has only been in one long-term relationship.

Determined to focus on herself for a few years, it the timing was right to go looking for love.

Goulburn has been Breanna's lifelong home, apart from a year abroad in Dublin, and she is keen to keep breathing the country air.

The sense of community, space and pace of life make her want to stay in a regional area.

"You can always find people - when you meet the right person, you can find a family," she said.

She admitted she was nervous when she met Brenton for the first time, but they hit it off and had lots in common, as they learned more about one another.

Having watched the dating show before, she had an idea of what it would be like, but went in without having any expectations.

"I honestly wouldn't change a thing from start to finish," she said.

"It's one of the best things I've ever done."
