Meet Ben Andrews. He’s a farmer from Herefordshire, U.K. who reached out to Queerty after seeing our post about the secret world of gay farmers.
“I was born and raised on a farm,” Ben tells us. “I work with my parents on the family farm my great grandfather first started.”

Ben and his husband John have been together for 12 years and live on his family’s 450-acre farm, where they rear beef cattle and grow kale and lettuce.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Thanks to social media, Ben says he’s met “quite a few” gay farmers.
“I’ve actually made contact with more gay farmers all over the world on Instagram than in real life,” Ben says. “It’s amazing how many of us are out there!”

So what’s the best part about being a gay farmer?
“Spending all day, every day with my dogs,” Ben says.
Sounds pretty good to us!

Being Gay must be so great when you are good looking.
For the rest of us it’s pretty shit

I’m sorry, speak for yourself!
There are many gay men not particularly “good looking” with happy, productive lives, large social groups and relationships (or happily single). Personally I enjoy the opportunity to see folks like this going about their lives, regardless of whether I’d ever get the chance to bed them!
If I had the level of bitterness you seem to I’d seek help.

their both angle-genic, especially the partner. 🙂

Ben and John, thanks for showing us that farmers can be same-sexy! Have you guys thought about doing a side business bed-and-breakfast on your farm? I’d definitely want to book a room with you if ever back in England 😀

Best thing I’ve seen on this site in ages! No trans, no drags, no “queers”…just two sexy, handsome and wholesome guys being in love and doing what they love!

This is cool and I totally identify. We live on a small ranch in Texas and have horses and donkeys. My husband and I drive to the city each day for work, but love the ranch life. If I could make it work I’d stay here every day and would love “working” on a farm. Hard work but you get to be outside and seeing the stars at night is beyond belief.
