Now titled Farming for Love, the series follows a group of single farmers on a quest to find their perfect match, all while shining a light on modern British farming life, offering the farmers a chance to find genuine romance in settings as authentic as they are.
The synopsis continues: "Farmers select potential partners from applications and invite them to move onto the farm, where they must experience the realities of rural life first-hand.
"Living and working together, the couples discover whether love can truly take root beyond the romance."
At the end of the romantic journey, each farmer must make a decision and choose the person they believe could be the one.
