Where I live: Mudgee is a beautiful region of NSW, being predominantly a wine growing area and with some mixed grazing. I live and work on a mixed farm of viticulture and irrigated cropping. I manage the cropping side of the business. Our major enterprise is prime Lucerne hay production with some winter cereals and grazing. I have not been in the region for long but I love it. Mudgee is a great place with lots to see and do. The property is so picturesque, located on the banks of the Cudgegong River nestled in amongst many of Mudgee's finest wineries. (Sounds romantic doesn't it …?)

About me: I value family and friends and am extremely loyal; I expect this in return. I am a down-to-earth happy person who thrives on exploring new horizons. I have a cheeky sense of humour which gets me into a fair amount of trouble.

What sort of girl are you looking for? What do you want to find in a partner? I'm looking for a confident, independent, active lady with a cheeky nature. Who is not scared to get down and dirty on the farm or take out the fashions on the field. I like the natural type — not really into the Paris Hilton wannabes.

What age girl are you looking for? Any age really, just young at heart; mid-20s to early-30s… (over 50 she needs to be wealthy with a heart condition …!)

The most interesting thing about me is... People find my most interesting characteristic (except for my devilish good looks) to be my personality. I have a cheeky nature … the lovable brat. There is never a dull moment in my life. I'm told that I can always make people laugh and feel better about themselves. I always look on the bright side and find positives out of most situations.

Interests: Most typical bloke sort of things... like flower arrangement and maybe a little tapestry. I am currently working on my marble cake recipe. I am not losing to Mrs Jones at the royal Mudgee show... again!

Really I enjoy all the good things in life, the outdoors, fine food and wine and good company. There are several blokey things I enjoy, like footy (AFL … and no, I'm not gay, but I do have a body like the players), beers with the boys, fly fishing, dirt bikes and I love dogs.

Music: It really depends on my mood. I like all types of music. Currently my favourites are U2, Chilli Peppers, Ben Harper, Gnarls Barkley, or anything with a good tune that will get me smoking the DF.

Reading: Between work and play there is limited time to enjoy a good novel, though a morning coffee with the paper is essential (hmmm ... think I dodged that one okay).

Movies: Anything with Chuck Norris (Chuck Norris does not sleep, Chuck Norris waits)… just kidding… Anything really, depends on my mood; even chick flicks have a place...

Dislikes: Pretentious people.

The final word from Farmer Drew: This to me is about having fun and meeting new people, with an opportunity to find that ever-illusive someone special.
