The Farmer Wants a Wife dates certainly don’t skimp on romance, and the 2024 Farmers have dished on who really organises the extravagant get-togethers.

The Farmer Wants a Wife 2024 overnight dates saw some gorgeous setups on the farms, with copious amounts of candles and cushions.

Farmer Bert’s overnight date. Seven.

So, is it the Farmers themselves who are behind the dates, or do the producers dream up the ideas?

“They’re all based off of our ideas,” Farmer Bert told Yahoo Lifestyle Australia.

“I guess there’s probably some bits that are added into it that maybe were suggested. But, you know, they’re all our ideas of a date, like sitting at the dam and just having a bit of a picnic or whatever, or just somewhere nice on the property – that is probably something that we would do.

How much input do producers have with the FWAW dates?

Farmer Dustin revealed that while the producers do lend a helping hand with the decor, the date ideas themselves are actually the Farmers.

“Maybe we wouldn’t have as many candles as what you see. I don’t own a single candle,” he said, adding that the producers tend to add extra cushions.

Bert agreed, saying that he essentially set up his overnight date, and producers went back in and zhuzhed it up.

“They definitely gave me the opportunity to set them up. And then when I put them out there, then they just went and fixed it all.”

“Yeah, you like do your little setup and then they just come in and completely change it,” Dustin added. “Like, I thought it was good!”

Dustin said he came up with his date ideas but using inspiration from his usual social get-togethers.

“It’s not very often you do this sort of thing, and I’d just go out the back on the veranda or something, have beers or whatever,” he said. “But it’s generally your idea and they obviously just make it more comfortable and prettier, and probably better food than what I would provide and stuff like that. I probably wouldn’t bring Champagne!”
