New faces, not the same ten
People from the next county over who you would never cross paths with at a show or a club night.
Farming, in your twenties and thirties, and single
The social calendar is brilliant. Meeting someone who isn’t already in your club is the hard part.
See who’s near youIs there a dating site for young farmers?
Yes, and Grounded is one, for adults over 18.
Rural social life in your twenties and thirties is not short of events. What it is short of is new people. You see the same faces at the same shows, and everyone already knows your business before you have said anything.
Grounded widens the circle beyond your county without dragging you into a city. You set how far you will travel, and everyone on it has already said they want a life on or around the land.
Nobody has to explain the hours
Calving, harvest, lambing. Everyone here already runs their week around something.
Discreet by default
Your real name and email are never shown, and your profile lists your nearest town rather than your address.
You will not be the youngest person on here
Grounded runs right across the age range, and there is a real population in their twenties and thirties working farms, yards and estates. Filter by age and distance and you will see exactly who is within reach before you spend anything.
The site is deliberately not built like a swiping app. Chat rooms and group chats mean you can get a feel for someone in company first, which most people find easier than a cold message.

Common questions
The things people ask first
Do I have to be over 18?
Yes. Grounded is a dating site for adults and you must be 18 or over to join. Age is checked at sign-up and we use AI age estimation with further checks where they are needed.
Are you connected to Young Farmers’ Clubs?
No. Grounded has no connection to NFYFC, SAYFC or any Young Farmers’ Club, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by them. We use the phrase because it is what people search for.

Grounded runs across the full age range. There is a genuine population in their twenties and thirties, and there are more members in their forties and fifties. Filter by age and distance and judge it for yourself before you pay anything.
Do I need to farm for a living?
No. Plenty of members work on yards, in agricultural supply, in rural trades, or simply grew up on a farm. What you share is the life, not the job title.
Is it free?
Joining, browsing and daily matches cost nothing, and free accounts can send a set number of messages a day. VIP removes the daily limit.
