The Season 3 finale of Farmer Wants a Wife delivered a powerful mix of emotions, heartfelt moments, and life-changing decisions that left both the farmers and the viewers deeply moved.
After spending several weeks getting to know the women who left their lives behind to experience farm living, the four farmers, Jay Woods, John Sansone, Colton Hendricks, and Matt Warren, faced their toughest decisions yet. Each had formed unique and meaningful bonds with different women, making their final choices even more difficult.
The journey was filled with laughter, vulnerability, personal growth, and even heartbreak, as the farmers searched for a genuine partner to share their rural lives. In the end, each farmer followed his heart. Here’s a closer look at who they chose and how the emotional finale unfolded.
Jay Woods picks Grace
Jay Woods struggled to decide whether to be with Grace or Karina. Over the season, he grew close to both women, and when it was all over, Grace was the one he loved. There was a clear spiritual and emotional bond between Jay and Grace. To mark their new beginning, Jay gave Grace a puppy—something they could care for together. Because of how sincere he was, their final goodbye became one of the best moments at the party.
John Sansone chooses Claire
It came as a shock when John Sansone, aged 25 and learning about law in St. Louis, picked Claire instead of Lily. To many fans, Lily seemed like the obvious choice.
However, John felt his connection to Claire was based on trust and close friendship. Even though they saw things differently in religion and family, they were able to form a strong relationship. After eight months of filming, John and Claire are still together, but one of them lives in Chicago and the other in St. Louis.
Colton Hendricks selects Zoe
Colton Hendricks, a cattle rancher from Oklahoma, had to choose between Keeley and Zoe after Bailee left the show on her own. Colton ultimately chose Zoe, saying their personalities and pace of life matched better. While Keeley was clearly disappointed, Colton explained his decision kindly and respectfully. He felt Zoe was the one he could build a future with, and their final moment together showed genuine excitement for what’s ahead.
Matt Warren chooses Chelsi
Matt Warren had perhaps the most dramatic finale. Torn between Chelsi and Jordyn, Matt had previously told Jordyn she was a strong contender. However, in the end, he chose Chelsi, explaining that their connection was more solid and natural. Jordyn felt blindsided and hurt by the choice, saying she had believed Matt’s earlier words. Despite the emotional fallout, Matt stood by his decision, saying he felt confident about a future with Chelsi.
A finale full of emotions and new beginnings
Farmer Wants a Wife showed a positive and sentimental ending for season 3. Many farmers chose what they felt was best for them, but sometimes that brought pain as well. Although some of these adventures did not last, the episode showed us the importance of love, vulnerability, and pursuing real connections.
The upcoming seasons have fans reflecting on how romantic relationships on the farm, such as those of Jay, John, Colton, and Matt, can be difficult, yet they are still well worth it.
