‘We cast farmers from right around Australia and then we put the call up to the ladies who would like to meet them. They choose the eight ladies who would like to meet them, so there is that initial attraction,’ Natalie explained.
She continued: ‘Everyone is there for the right reasons and it’s good old-fashioned romance and real love stories.
‘I think the city girls love the idea of moving to the land and country life, and who doesn’t love our Aussie farmers and a good love story?’
