The season features 15 singles, including 13 men and two women. Specific participants identified include Andi, a 30-year-old Swabian farmer, Sarah, a 36-year-old organic farmer from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and Daniel Eibisch, a 31-year-old organic farmer from Kaibitz who manages a 100-hectare farm cultivating barley, wheat, and clover.

Over its 21-year history, the program has facilitated more than 40 weddings and resulted in the birth of nearly 50 children. The production is managed by UFA Show & Factual, which enforces strict contractual obligations, such as verifying single status and prohibiting contact between potential partners via social media before filming begins.
