Product Information

Read more inspiring tales of life as a shepherdess with A Year in the Life of the Yorkshire Shepherdess and Adventures Of The Yorkshire Shepherdess.

Amanda releases a A Year in the Life of the Yorkshire Shepherdess, promoting the book in the media. What’s even weirder is that you have become famous as a shepherd. Would that have ever occurred to you? Amanda Owen has been seen by millions on ITV's The Dales and Channel 5's Our Yorkshire Farm, living a life that has almost gone in today's modern world, a life ruled by the seasons and her animals. She is a farmer's wife and shepherdess, living alongside her husband Clive and seven children at Ravenseat, a 2000 acre sheep hill farm at the head of Swaledale in North Yorkshire. It's a challenging life but one she loves. She also went on to defend her friend Jeremy Clarkson and continued: 'As @JeremyClarkson has highlighted until food production, countryside management is valued we do what pays the bills.' Amanda has been living in their holiday let, a cottage just under a mile away from Ravenseat and Clive has been staying at the farm where he's always been.'

Amanda went on to write a number of bestselling books about her experiences on the farm, which she heavily promoted with media appearances (left to right)

Mrs Owen, who wrote several books about life on the farm - the latest one, on seasonal living - said it is a 'vicious circle,' and she could not stop writing about it because the material is there. Meanwhile she released two further books Tales From the Farm and Celebrating The Seasons, both of which she spent time heavily promoting.

Ravenseat is a tenant farm and may not stay in the family, so when Amanda discovers a nearby farmhouse up for sale, she knows it is her chance to create roots for her children. The old house needs a lot of renovation and money is tight, so Amanda sets about the work herself, with some help from a travelling monk, a visiting plumber and Clive. It's fair to say things do not go according to plan!
