Our Yorkshire Farm’s Amanda Owen leaving Ravenseat for exciting new project
OUR Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen is leaving Ravenseat Farm for a brand new project.
The Shepherdess, who split from husband Clive after 22 years of marriage, will be embarking on a series of live shows this year.
Amanda, 48, has promised a “warm-hearted” and “informative” evening, sharing memorable moments and charming stories from her remarkable farming and family life in North Yorkshire.
Those attending are in for a treat – they will hear about Amanda’s childhood and how she was inspired by James Herriot’s books to leave her town life behind and head to the countryside.
The official website reads: “After a period of milking cows and working as a contract shepherdess and alpaca shearer she eventually settled down in Swaledale, living and working in one of the highest and most remote places in England, where she has been for over 25 years.”
Amanda will be taking her show titled Celebrating the Seasons across the UK, visiting Essex and Cardiff and last year the star visited Scotland, Harrogate and more.
She’ll also share some of her gorgeous photography showcasing the famous Swaledale landscape she writes about, with its “sweeping moors, rare wildflowers and captivating wildlife”.
It comes after the broadcaster announced they wouldn’t be bringing Channel 5’s Our Yorkshire Farm back following Amanda and Clive’s split.
The mum-of-nine has insisted there’s ‘no stress’ as she opens up about ‘separation’.
Following what was a tough year for the self-described Yorkshire Shepherdess, she’s still continuing to run her famous farm.
Taking to social media, she told followers how she had to ‘separate’ Hazel and new foal Maple from each other.
As she posted a snap of her daughter Clemmie grooming the animals, she said: “Hazel & Maple are handling the separation far better than we could ever have hoped for. No stress.”
Fans were enthralled by the Owen clan and their unorthodox life at their Yorkshire Dales farm during their TV programme.
Although things seemed to be going well at Ravenseat farm, they quickly took a wrong turn when Amanda and her husband shocked fans with the news their 22 year marriage was over.
A statement from the pair read: “Clive and I are sad to confirm that we have made the difficult decision to separate.
“This hasn’t been easy, but we both believe it’s the right choice for the future of our family.
“Although we are no longer a couple, we continue to work on the farm and co-parent together, with our number one priority the happiness and well-being of our children.
“We would like to thank everyone for their support and would ask the media please respect our privacy as we work through this difficult time.”
