Twelve contestants, six female and six male, live on a farm similar to those from a century ago.
There is no running water, bathroom, or internet during the ten-week filming of the show.
The loser of the duel is eliminated, and he or she writes a letter announcing next week's HOH.
In the fourth season of Kmetija, the winner won a farm on which the contestants lived for the show along with 12 ha of land.
In 2007, a criminal complaint was filed against POP TV over the inclusion of the slaughter of a pig in a Kmetija broadcast.
