The Farm is a reality competition television franchise format created by the Swedish producer Strix.[1] [2] Over 100 licenses sold around the world and aired in more than 50 countries, The Farm is one of their most popular formats, including The Bar and Fame Factory. It has been constantly on air somewhere in the world since 2001. The format is distributed by Fremantle.

Format

The Farm puts a group of 12 to 14 people living together in a farm. The contestants must work as a normal farmer, raising animals and doing agriculture. In regular periods of time, one of the houseguests is evicted, usually in a ceremony called The Duel where they compete in a physical endurance, but in some adaptations of the show, it is the audience that decides, by telephone voting, who must leave The Farm.

Celebrity format, with participants being well-known public figures, is also common.

International versions

there are 132 winners of The Farm format.
