Amanda Owen, the beloved star of “Our Yorkshire Farm,” recently opened up about her whirlwind life balancing farm responsibilities and raising her nine children. Appearing on “This Morning,” she shared how she navigates the chaos while embracing the fulfilling yet unpredictable nature of rural life.
During the interview, Owen humorously likened her daily routine to firefighting, constantly responding to the demands of her busy household and farm. Despite the challenges, she described the experience as deeply rewarding, revealing that no two days are ever the same on the farm.
Her children, who play an integral role in farm life, were also part of the conversation. Clammy, one of her daughters, recounted a dramatic rescue involving a lamb that had fallen into a mine shaft, showcasing their resilience and hands-on approach to farm duties. Owen emphasized the importance of instilling life skills in her children through their experiences on the farm.
Amanda also discussed the ongoing renovation of a new family home, affectionately named Auntie John’s. The project, which began during the COVID lockdown, is a labor of love as they work to restore the historic building while preserving its character. The children are actively involved, helping with everything from designing their unique cupboard bed to installing a new water supply.
The family’s dynamic was on full display as they joked about their various farm animals and the personalities of their pet lambs. Owen shared how some lambs earn their names based on their behavior, highlighting the unique bond they share with their livestock.
As the conversation shifted to the children’s aspirations, it was clear that each one has their own dreams. From academics to farming and even ballet dancing, Owen’s children are encouraged to pursue their passions, demonstrating the supportive environment she has cultivated.
As the interview wrapped up, Amanda expressed her gratitude for the chance to step away from the farm, even if just for a moment. She and her children are set to return to their Yorkshire home, where life continues to unfold in delightful chaos. The latest series of “Our Yorkshire Farm” premieres tonight, giving fans a closer look at this extraordinary family’s life.
