"Ah just can't figure out why dem city fellers wanna stay at mah daddy's farm 'stead of dat nice hotel down the road."
'Cause just when I thought it couldn't get no hotter,
I caught a glimpse of the farmer's daughter.
Rodney Atkins, "Farmer's Daughter"

A Farmer's Daughter is an innocent looking girl, typically from rural settings. In the United States this area tends to be in Midwestern America, the Deep South, or Sweet Home Alabama, but the archetype can be found in European stories as well. They typically dress in short sundresses or (gingham) halter tops and "Daisy Duke" shorts, and either wear cowboy boots or go barefoot. Sometimes an Unkempt Beauty, but She Cleans Up Nicely. They will often have a very pronounced Dixie accent (no matter where the farm actually is) and be very tomboyish and aggressive. They're typically pretty handy with tools and heavy machinery, among other things, having to repair tractors and such from childhood. Oh, and Girlish Pigtails aren't unheard of among them.

Farmer's Daughters are usually kept at home under very strict rules and supposedly know very little about the "ways of the world" - or at least pretend they don't - and therefore tend to be overly curious about sex. Watch out, though; their pops will have a shotgun and will use it if you try anything funny with them, like for instance a Roll in the Hay with them. And if she's knocked up? Shotgun Wedding time! Often they'll be a bit ditzy or backward; but even more often they'll be a lot smarter than they look. There are two clear types: One who is drop-dead gorgeous (but, almost but not quite paradoxically, in a Girl Next Door kind of way); the other has an okay body... but her face... (and she is usually the more aggressive type). Often used in Country Mouse settings. Also tends to be the downfall of the Traveling Salesman.

Given her background, she could very easily be the Distaff Counterpart to the Farm Boy... but she ain't. (However, Overalls and Gingham is another matter)

This is known as a Western trope, but is also common in some Asian countries. Japanese examples are rare, but do exist. It's Older Than Steam; many a Medieval ballad is about a valiant knight falling in love with a rural peasant girl. See also the Cowgirl sub-type in Cowboy.


Examples:

    open/close all folders 
    Anime & Manga 
  • Lucy-May of the Southern Rainbow: Lucy-May, Kate and Clara. Their father, Arthur Popple, is a farmer, and the family immigrated from England to Australia to set up a farm. Many episodes are focused on the titular Lucy-May tending to the animals and learning how to maintain a farm, while having fun with her friends.
  • Katri, Girl of the Meadows: Katri and Pekka are both this trope, being from poor families in rural Finland. While Katri works with animals, Pekka's skills is in fields and carpentry.
  • Kaze no Shōjo Emily: Perry is an orphan who lives in a poor part of Canada, and works at the Murray household as a help, lifting heavy things and tending to the farm amongst other things. To ham it in, he's Never Learned to Read (until Emily teaches him).
  • Alma from Attack on Titan. Her parents run a farm, which is where Historia ended growing up. Alma herself is very beautiful and would often get dolled up when she went to the interior to see Rod.
  • Cow Girl from Goblin Slayer works on her uncle's farm where Goblin Slayer stays.
  • The Secret Garden: Dickon Sowerby is male example as he's close to nature, from a poor working-class background and a friend to all animals. His Cheerful Child nature rubs off on Mary.

    Art 
  • The popular painting "American Gothic" inverts the trope, depicting a farmer with his rather homely spinster daughter (often mistaken for his wife).
  • A popular theme in vintage aircraft nose art.
  • The Filipino version, the dalagang bukid (literally "maiden from the fields" or "maiden from the country"), meaning a pretty girl from a rural farming community, is a common archetype in the paintings of Fernando Amorsolo, such as Dalagang Bukid, Fruit Gatherer, and Palay Maiden. She's seen helping with the harvest, sometimes with a sunny smile on her face.

    Comedy 
  • The Farmer's Daughter is a staple of the traditional Traveling Salesman joke.
  • One subversion of the classic setup has the farmer allow the salesman to spend the night on the condition that he not sleep with the farmer's only son, to which the salesman replies "Oops, I think I'm in the wrong joke."

    Comic Books 
  • The Adventures of Captain Jack has Janet, a raccoon daughter of a domineering father who has a fiery temper born out of years of resentment living with him, especially after her mother left with another contractor. Although she has a poor first impression with Herman, she soon warms up to him and they become lovers and Captain Jack has a moment of conscience to let her leave, sacrificing a major haul to do so.
  • In "The Last Laugh" in Plop! #4, the farmer's daughter happens to be a freckled, pigtailed cute blonde in overalls and absolutely nothing else. Too bad the traveling salesman in the tale fails to realize that it isn't the daughter her father is worried about when he warns said salesman to stay away from her... She turns out to be a murderous psychopath, who seduces him into meeting her alone, then cuts his head off with an axe as a "joke".
  • In The Punisher MAX story "Welcome to the Bayou", Frank runs into one of these (on a gas station in the middle of nowhere, but the idea is the same), who is a) dressed in far-too-revealing clothes and b) "crazy as a shithouse rat". She also turns out to be part of a family of inbred cannibal hicks.
  • Examples from the Superman mythos:
    • Lana Lang was always a small town girl, but in Post-Flashpoint continuity she is explicitly daughter of farmers.
    • Supergirl: Being Super has Kara Danvers, adoptive daughter of a couple of farmers from a rural Midwestern town, and pretty sweet and innocent (at least until she realized someone was after her cause of her powers).
  • Maggie from The Walking Dead certainly qualifies, being the daughter of traditional farmer Hershel Greene.
  • Husk from X-Men is actually a coal-miner's daughter. Since her father is dead, it's her mother wielding the shotgun, though she's generally open-minded about who her kids date. Still, you might have to worry about her big brother Cannonball.

    Comic Strips 
  • Dick Tracy had such a character in the 88 Keys story when said crook is hiding out at a dairy farm and while he proves hopeless working there, the farmer's preteen daughter is smitten with him. It progresses to the point where Keys manipulates her into be an accomplice to elude Tracy, but she realizes what she is doing and attempts a Heroic Sacrifice to stop him. Fortunately, unlike a lot of one-off characters in that Anyone Can Die story world, all she gets is a good scare and is returned home all right and even gets a fatherly kiss from Tracy at the conclusion of the story. Of course, she takes said fatherly kiss somewhat differently than he intended...
  • Li'l Abner:
    • Daisy Mae and Stupefyin' Jones might be the Trope Makers. While there were farmer's daughters long before this, Al Capp created what would become the definitive look people today recognize.
    • Sadie Hawkins would be an example of the butterface version.

    Film — Live-Action 
  • Van Morgan's girlfriend at the start of 5 Card Stud is Nora Evers: the daughter of rancher Sig Evers and a Girl Next Door type. She is Betty to Miss Kitty Lily's Veronica in Van's Betty and Veronica dilemma.
  • The Big Lebowski: It is eventually revealed that Bunny Lebowski is actually a Farmer's Daughter who moved to Los Angeles. In a Deconstructive Parody, the "overly curious about sex" part is exaggerated into her being a massively hedonistic nymphomaniac, so much so that she became a pornstar upon moving to the city and arguably fits in far better in the seedy LA underworld then she ever would on a farm.
    How you gonna keep them down on the farm when they've seen Karl Hungus?
  • Dark Was the Night: Clair, the daughter of a farmer whose livestock is attacked by the creature, is a generally nice girl who shares a flirtatious look with Donny when she first appears while brushing a horse and Paul says her dad shot at her last boyfriend.
  • Joey MacDonald in El Dorado is a spitfire who is very protective of her family.
  • The 1947 film, The Farmers Daughter is a Fish out of Water story of a typical farmer's daughter who goes to Washington to be the maid of a congressman. Later adapted into a 1960s TV sitcom.
  • The farmer's wife from Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle - at least in spirit.
  • Invoked in Monkey Business — when the heroes set out to rescue Mary Helton from a barn, Groucho complains that there aren't any farmers' daughters present.
  • Julia Roberts' character in Pretty Woman was also one of these - hung around with her brothers and messed with cars when she was younger.
  • Played with in Russ Meyer's Supervixens, in that it's a farmer's (Mail-Order Bride) wife instead of a daughter who exploits this trope in a nymphomaniac manner.
  • Young Frankenstein's assistant Inga was clearly intended to invoke this trope: when she's first introduced, she's dressed in a dirndl (traditional farmer's daughter attire in Yodel Land), a bit naive and literally having a Roll in the Hay.

    Jokes 
  • A farmer has three daughters, all of whom he's very protective of. One night, all three of them have dates. The farmer sits by the door with a shotgun waiting for each boy to show up. The first date arrives and says "Hi, I'm Freddy. I'm here for Betty. We're going to get spaghetti. Is she ready?" The farmer decides that the boy is trustworthy, puts down his gun and sends his daughter off with him. The second date arrives and says "Hi, I'm Joe. I'm here for Flo. We're going to see a show. Is she ready to go?" The farmer decides that the boy is also trustworthy, puts down his gun and sends his other daughter off with him. The third date arrives and says "Hi, I'm Chuck-" BANG!
  • A man is driving down a country road towards Saint Louis, slowing down to take a tight turn. Suddenly a farmer with a rifle pops up from behind a tree, and yells at him to stop the car and get out. The driver does so.
    "Now pull down yer pants an' jerk off!"
    "What?"
    "Pull down yer pants an' jerk off!"
    The driver reluctantly obeys, not helped by the rifle barrel pointed at him. Once he's done, the farmer says:
    "Now do it agin!"
    "Are you-"
    "Do it agin!"
    The driver complies, but every time he finishes the farmer tells him to do it again. Finally, after four or five more times:
    "Ugh... I... can't do it... anymore... just shoot me, I don't even care... It hurts just thinking about getting hard..."
    The farmer puts up his gun and yells:
    "Mary-Beth! C'mon out, girl, this nice man says he'll give you a ride to Saint Louis!"

    Literature 
  • Arcane Ascension has Marissa "Mara" Callahan, who worked on her parents' farm until they sent her to the Tower for Judgement.
  • Rou Tigu from Beware of Chicken fits most of these tropes, though with a xianxia spin. She is the (adopted) daughter of a farmer, with a muscular yet attractive build and a very tomboyish personality. She is friendly, cheerful, and (due to only having been a human for a few months) rather socially and romantically naive. She even picks up more than one male admirer.

A time-traveling con artist poses as an "intergalactic travelling salesman", until his scam is revealed by time cop Josie Bauer.

Philip José Farmer to be precise.

  • Tess Of The Durbervilles is a tragic Deconstruction of this trope, set in rural England in the late Victorian era. She's nubile, innocent, and sweet — but fate, with the help of her deadbeat father, flings her in the path of an aristocrat who takes advantage of her ignorance and simplicity in order to have his way with her. And that's the first volume of the novel.
  • Roald Dahl's short story "The Visitor" has a nasty twist on the old "traveling salesman / farmer's daughter" tale.

  • On My Name Is Earl, one of the items on Earl's List of Transgressions is "Seduced Seven Virgins." There was a settlement of "Camdenites" on the outskirts of town.

The Camdenites had a Rite of Passage for the girls when they turned 21, that involved the girls leaving the Camdenite settlement to experience life in the outside world, which they could choose to stay in if they wanted. Earl and Randy pretended to be from a neighboring similar society on the same kind of journey, in order to get the girls to trust them enough to be seduced.

Being a Farmer's Daughter/Son, however, makes them terrible companions as they never level up and their skill stats never improve. And they always charge the nearest enemy.

  • This serves as part of the punchline in this comic about a farmer talking to a man he hired to do work around his farm. In case you don't get it: the third daughter's name is a pun on "anime".

When she finally reveals that she is actually a girl (thanks to seriously Compressed Hair underneath her ball cap), Chris finds he doesn't know how to act around her because girls make him so nervous. So she suggests he just think of her as a boy like he did before. She then immediately suggests to a relieved Chris they go make out, and he promptly responds with an enthusiastic "Yes, sir!"

Peter proceeds to do so... in that he just recites the introduction to Quantum Leap. Cut to the Cutaway Gag, where Jesus leaps into a man making out with a woman in the back of a pickup truck, only for a farmer to show up with a shotgun.
      Farmer: (shotgun clicks) What do you think you're doin' with my wife?

The (human) farmer lets them stay, so long as they stay away from his three robot daughters — two relatively attractive humanoids named Lulubelle and Daisy Mae, and the huge truck-like Crushinator. Guess what Bender doesn't do... Let the record show that he didn't touch the Crushinator. "A lady that fine, you've gotta romance first!"
  • Gravity Falls has Wendy, a teenage girl who's a lumberjack's daughter rather than a farmer's daughter. She still fits the trope in many respects; she's attractive, pined after by more than one male character, a native of the Oregonian backwoods and resultantly handy with an axe, proficient in activities associated with her father's profession, and able to spit with the best of them. Not to mention that her attire includes boots, and she sported overalls and Girlish Pigtails when she was younger.
  • The Tex Avery short "Little Rural Riding Hood" has a particularly homely version. There's also another Tex Avery short with Red in the Farmer's Daughter role.
