City folks just don’t get it!

That is the tag line for FarmersOnly. The dating site for farmers, ranchers, agriculturist, cowboys, cowgirls, animal owners, outdoor enthusiasts, small town and country folks or those looking for them.

Jerry Miller, the founder says:

There are basically two groups in America. Group one, their life revolves around four dollar cups of coffee, taxis cabs, blue suits, high heels, conference rooms and getting ahead at all costs in the corporate world. If you fall into this group you’re probably in the wrong place. Group two, enjoys blue skies, wide open spaces, raising animals, appreciating nature and are generally friendly to everyone. This group makes up Americas Heartland. This is not a geographic area, this is a slice of America with traditional values, that all started with the farmer.

So he started an online dating website geared for Group Two. There are plenty of dating and matchmaking websites for Group One. Trying to meet someone is hard enough. Working the hours a farmer does and probably being out in the middle of nowhere has got to be even tougher. I would guess that the dating pool in small town America is just that, small. That is the beauty of the Internet, the ability to meet people from just about anywhere.

FarmersOnly was launched on May 15, 2005. Presently there are 253 women and 161 men with postings on the site. As of now membership on the site is free. So if you like your towns small and your farms big, you might want to check it out.
