Amanda Owen, the beloved star of Channel 5's Our Yorkshire Farm, has warmed the hearts of her followers with a touching social media update about her family.
A Proud Mother's Instagram Post
On Tuesday, 16 December 2025, the 51-year-old shepherdess took to Instagram to share a series of photos showcasing her sons and their friends hard at work on the family's remote Ravenseat Farm in the Yorkshire Dales. The images featured her children Reuben, Miles, and Sidney Owen, alongside close friends Myles Capper and Sonny Billington, all dressed in high-visibility clothing and dedicated to their tasks.
Captioning the post, Amanda wrote: "The future is bright. Hi vis all the way! ! ! ! ! So proud of them all." She humorously added a note of caution about applying marking colour to a male sheep, or 'tup', writing: "But if there was one thing that I didn't need it was a high vis tup! Apply ruddle colour to tup cautiously, just a wipe."
Fan Reactions and Family Legacy
The post was swiftly flooded with affectionate comments from admirers of the famous farming family. One follower remarked on how grown-up Sidney looked while driving, calling them a "wonderful family." Another commented on the children's rapid maturity, wishing them a happy Christmas.
Many praised Amanda and her ex-husband Clive, with one person stating: "Such a wonderful family. They're a real credit to you and Clive." Another added: "Amazing children you have and what a credit to you both." The overwhelming sentiment was one of support and admiration for the close-knit clan.
The Owen family, consisting of Amanda, Clive, and their nine children, rose to fame documenting their demanding rural life on Channel 5 from 2018. The show became one of the channel's most-watched programmes. Following its conclusion, Channel 4 commissioned a ten-episode series titled Our Farm Next Door, which follows the family's project to restore a 200-year-old farmhouse.
Amanda's Candid Health Struggles
This cheerful family update comes after Amanda courageously opened up about a period of significant personal difficulty. She recently disclosed a distressing health battle, revealing she "just shut down" following a major relationship breakdown.
In a candid interview, she explained that her physical and mental health suffered profoundly. "Physical and mental health are intertwined and anxiety, depression, paranoia, agoraphobia and an eating disorder were all smooshed into one," she told the Mail.
Compounding her pain, she faced cruel trolling about her weight loss, recalling one particularly vicious comment that labelled her a "bag of bones." Reflecting on the downsides of fame, Amanda said: "It's the price you pay for living your life in the open, for being observed. It's like having a post mortem before you're dead."
Despite these challenges, her latest post stands as a testament to the resilience of her family and their enduring bond with the land they farm, continuing to inspire their legion of fans across the UK.
