Get to Know Ryan Black, Allen Foster, Hunter Grayson and Landon Heaton

Four eligible bachelors are on the search for true love when Farmer Wants a Wife premieres on FOX Wednesday, March 8.

The unscripted dating show hosted by Jennifer Nettles has already aired in 32 countries, resulting in 180 marriages and over 400 children. Unlike, the typical drama-filled dating shows where relationships fizzle out once they exit paradise, Farmer Wants a Wife contestants are on the search for a love that will last.

Four farmers — Ryan Black, Allen Foster, Hunter Grayson and Landon Heaton — are bringing big heart to the heartland has they each host a group of single women who are ready to leave behind the comfort and convenience of city life for the charms (and challenges) of country living. From tending to cattle to behind-the-scenes business operations of the farm, the ladies must ask themselves: how far is one willing to go for love?

We caught up with the four lucky men in search of their soulmate to get up close and personal with who they are beyond the cowboy hat. So, without further ado, let's meet the farmers looking for a wife!


Hunter Grayson

Pete Dadds//Fox

  • Age: 31
  • Location: Watkinsville, GA
  • Occupation: Cattle and Horse Rancher
  • Current Favorite Show: The Good Doctor and 1923

When Hunter isn't busy fly-fishing or playing guitar (swoon!), there's a good chance this farmer is keeping busy by tending to his cattle with The Teskey Brothers playing in the background. The multifaceted Georgia native knows his way around the kitchen and the simple key to his heart is "just being yourself. There’s nothing more attractive than someone who is genuine in knowing who they are."

Ryan Black

Pete Dadds//Fox

  • Age: 32
  • Location: Gastonia, NC
  • Occupation: Horse Trainer and Breeder
  • Favorite Artists: Willie Jones and Jacob Banks

Yellowstone and chill, anyone? Ryan loves to binge the hit TV show just as much as us, but if you're the right match for this North Carolina bachelor, it's going to take more than knowing the Dutton family tree by hand. Outside of training horses, he's been working on his cooking skills and tasting wines. Although, he's a sucker for chocolate chip cookies, he wants someone who can "win [his] heart with emotion."
