The Yorkshire Shepherdess - Amanda Owen

Amanda Owen is a shepherdess, farmer’s wife, mother to nine children, a passionate photographer and Sunday Times bestselling author. The Owens live a life that has almost disappeared in today's world, one ruled by the seasons and their animals. Home is Ravenseat, a 2000-acre hill farm at the head of Swaledale, one of the highest and most remote places in England. Amanda has written three funny, heart-warming and inspiring books about her transformation from Huddersfield townie to rural sheep farmer, and in 2018 her family became stars of their very own Channel 5 TV series, Our Yorkshire Farm, which was the channel's highest rated factual show of the year. Amanda appears ‘in conversation’, delighting anyone who has dreamt of a new life in the country with her insightful opinions on farming and her good-humoured, plain-speaking attitude to life.
