Reuben Owen, star of Our Yorkshire Farm, has opened up about his future at Ravenseat Farm, admitting that the family's newly acquired Anty John's property could be the one place he'd happily call home. The revelation came during Sunday's repeat episode of Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids, the spin-off series that follows the Owen family as they take on the mammoth task of renovating a remote, rundown farmhouse deep in the Yorkshire Dales.
Reuben Owen's Candid Confession
Speaking directly to the camera, Reuben confided: "Other than Ravenseat, it is probably one of the only places I'd consider living happily." This admission suggests that the eldest Owen son is open to leaving the family's main home for the new property, which sits on just under 40 acres.
With fierce weather and an isolated location making it one of Britain's most challenging building projects, the show has given viewers a revealing look at what lies ahead for the beloved family. At the heart of the project is Amanda Owen, the shepherdess and mother of nine who has become a household name thanks to the long-running Channel 5 series.
Amanda and Clive's Vision for Anty John's
Throughout the programme, Amanda has been open about her vision for Anty John's — not just as a renovation project, but as a future home for her growing brood. "When Anty John's was put up for sale, it was a dream come true, really," Amanda admitted, describing the property as "a little farm cottage with a barn attached, just short of 40 acres." For a family as large as the Owens, the additional space is not merely a luxury — it is a necessity.
Her ex-husband Clive echoed that sentiment, musing on just how useful the new property could prove to be. "It is nice to own a piece of this wonderful valley, and because there are so many of us, a house is certainly going to come in handy," he said. "Who will live there? We haven't even thought about that; we have no idea, but somebody will."
A Home for the Future
Amanda was equally thoughtful about the purchase's long-term significance. "This is for the future," she said, "because, of course, with all these children, they all need a place they can call home." It is that sense of belonging which appears to resonate most deeply with Reuben, one of the older Owen children and a familiar face from the family's television adventures.
Our Farm Next Door is available to watch on Channel 4.
