Hearts soar and break in the same breath as, week after week, the stakes get higher while Farmers and Daters navigate emotional surprises and difficult decisions. Joined by host and comedian Sabrina Jalees (ROAST BATTLE CANADA), the four Farmers seeking love this season include:- Erin, a second-generation soil-to-shelf dairy farmer from Creston, B.C.
- Kirkland, a two-spirit, gay former rodeo champion turned cattle farmer and horse boarder from Rosedale, B.C
