It’s been more than three years since Our Yorkshire Farm left our screens and in that time a lot has changed for Amanda Owen, Clive Owen and their nine-strong clan of kids on Ravenseat Farm.
Channel 5 has ditched the Yorkshire Shepherdess and her brood of growing farm kids since her split with Clive Owen, but Channel 4 channel More 4 has now picked up a new series of 10 episodes as a direct sequel, called Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids.
The show promises to shine a light on life on the remote Yorkshire Dales farm where separated Amanda and Clive still live next door to one another, sharing farm duties as much as parenting ones.
Our Yorkshire Farm came to an end following the tumultuous divorce of Amanda Owen and Clive Owen, yet their nine children continue to captivate audiences two years after their last television appearance.

Several of Amanda and Clive’s offspring have become stars in their own right, amassing millions of viewers and a significant Instagram following, while others remain in the spotlight due to their mother’s regular updates.
Reuben Owen has joined forces with his brother Miles Owen for his latest TV project, Reuben Own: Life In The Dales, which left fans curious about the whereabouts of the rest of the Owen family, including Raven, Clemmy, Annas, and Nancy.
Since Our Yorkshire Farm was cancelled, Reuben Owen has emerged as a star. Reuben, now 20, and his now ex-girlfriend Sarah Dow, first appeared in a miniseries spinoff, Beyond The Yorkshire Farm: Reuben and Clive, alongside father Clive Owen.
After this programme outperformed Amanda Owen’s More 4 debut, Amanda Owen’s Real Farming Lives, in terms of viewership, Channel 5 awarded Reuben his own show, Reuben Owen: Life In The Dales, which follows him and girlfriend Sarah as they establish a digger business in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.
Raven Owen, 23, is the eldest daughter of Amanda and Clive, and has been praised as the ‘spitting image’ of her former model mother Amanda.
Raven, a recent university graduate, has been spotted enjoying holidays in Greece with her friends but has yet to make a return to television like her brother until now, where she will return on Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids on More 4.
Miles Owen, now 18, made a TV comeback on Channel 5 with two guest appearances joining Reuben Owen’s farm to assist with his digger business and he will return fully on the new More 4 series as well.

Viewers have been astounded by how much Miles has changed, as he was just a young teenager when the last series of Our Yorkshire Farm was filmed in Ravenseat.
Edith Owen, who was 14 when she last appeared on TV, is maturing quickly, as evidenced by photos shared by mum Amanda Owen.
The last time the Yorkshire Shepherdess posted a picture with her daughter, Edith was told she looked ‘the double’ of her mother.
Regrettably, Edith has not yet returned to TV, concentrating on her studies and life on the Ravenseat farm away from the cameras.
Violet, now 13, was frequently seen on Our Yorkshire Farm interacting with the animals and assisting her mother with the livestock, particularly baby cow Ciara and fan favourite Tony the pony.
Amanda often posts heartwarming pictures of Violet and her other young siblings playing in the river or climbing trees on the farm. Violet will be back on Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids looking considerably older.
Amanda firmly believes in giving her children a ‘hands-on’ upbringing, making clear that she wants them to enjoy an authentic, outdoorsy childhood. She disclosed that social services had once handed her a ‘yellow flag,’ but she remains convinced about the importance of unsupervised play: “I believe there is a happy medium whereby you do let the kids climb trees. Yes, they haven’t got harnesses on or hard hats, but I believe there are some lessons to be learned that don’t necessarily result in instant death but actually learn your own parameters.”
Clementine Owen, known affectionately as Clemmy, has captured the audience’s hearts at just eight years old, often seen as the familys plucky daughter on-screen. In an endearing scene, the young birdwatching enthusiast is portrayed assisting a baby snag, and Channel 5 viewers had the pleasure of watching Clemmy take her first steps into education before the show was axed in 2021. She will return in Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids.

In February, Amanda Owen took to social media to share a glimpse of Clemmy’s intrepid spirit, showing her battling through substantial snowdrifts at Ravenseat farm and standing bravely by her mother during through-the-night farm work amid severe weather conditions.
The Owen family also includes Sidney, aged 12, who is following in his brother Reuben’s footsteps with a growing passion for farming. Recently spotted honing his skills with a sheepdog, Sidney not only takes part in tending to their flock but also indulges in a bit of archaeological adventure, seeking out fossils, stones, and other fascinating finds. Sydney was seen once on Reuben Owen’s show, and now will be back in Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids.
Annas, believed to be nine or 10 years old, is one of the younger children that Amanda frequently features on Instagram. Despite not appearing on TV since Our Yorkshire Farm concluded, Annas (not Anna) has become a fan favourite, earning admiration for her assistance with the lambs each spring. She is confirmed to return on Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids.

The youngest Owen child, Nancy, now just seven, was an unexpected pregnancy. Amanda Owen was unaware she was carrying Nancy until she was six months into the pregnancy.
In her book ‘Tales From The Farm’, Amanda confessed that she mistook her weight gain for ‘middle-aged spread’, only to discover she was 23 weeks pregnant without any symptoms.
Nancy hasn’t made a return to TV yet, but Amanda posted a picture in January showing her helping to milk the cows and will also be back on Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids.
