Ravenseat Farm, home of Amanda Owen and family

She lives and farms on a remote farm, Ravenseat, Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales with her husband Clive Owen and their nine children.[2]

Initially best known through her Twitter feed as "The Yorkshire Shepherdess",[3] she has now written three books: The Yorkshire Shepherdess (2015), A Year in the Life of the Yorkshire Shepherdess (2017), and Adventures of the Yorkshire Shepherdess (2019).

In August 2017 she appeared on BBC Radio 4's The Museum of Curiosity. Her hypothetical donation to this imaginary museum was a shepherd's whistle, used to communicate with her sheep dogs.[4] On 14 July 2019 she was the subject of BBC Radio 4's On Your Farm.[5] On 21 October 2019, she appeared on the podcast Trees A Crowd with David Oakes.[6]

Channel 5's Our Yorkshire Farm is an observational documentary series following life on the Owens' farm.[7]
