Fans of Our Yorkshire Farm have been left feeling deeply emotional after Amanda Owen opened up about the prospect of her children eventually leaving the family's beloved Ravenseat farm. In a preview clip from tonight's episode of Our Farm Next Door, the shepherdess and television personality reflected on the future with poignant honesty.
Heartfelt Family Reflections
Amanda Owen, who shares nine children with her husband Clive Owen, spoke candidly about not wanting to tie her offspring to the farm against their wishes. "I am not telling them all to stay here, rooted to the spot. They can go wherever they want," she revealed in the emotional preview. "And I don't doubt, they're going to head off in their different directions to do what they want to do."
The television star drew from her own life experience, explaining "I wouldn't be here if I hadn't taken a chance on another life, and I want them to do the same." Despite this encouragement for her children to explore their own paths, Amanda expressed her belief that they would always carry a special connection to their Yorkshire home. "But, I'll always believe that they'll have that appreciation and that feeling of belonging that comes with a place like this," she added with evident emotion.
Daughter Clemmy's Farming Ambitions
In a touching contrast to her mother's reflections on departure, Amanda's daughter Clemmy revealed her own strong attachment to Ravenseat and farming life. The young Owen declared "I don't want to go to uni, I want to stay around here. I think I am going to be a farmer."
Clemmy went on to explain what draws her to the challenging agricultural lifestyle, saying "I like it at Ravenseat because it's not easy. You don't sit inside and do nothing. You get new stuff, like catching sheep and stuff, they're normally not on your side, and they do things you don't want them to do." She concluded with "So, it's a good challenge. And it just gets you more confident."
Fan Reactions Overflow with Emotion
After Amanda shared the preview clip on her Instagram account, fans of the popular farming series responded with overwhelming emotion. One devoted viewer commented "Oh, I'm definitely going to be emotional at this episode I can tell already, so proud of you all xx," capturing the sentiment of many.
Another fan wrote "Pure joy to watch Amanda and what beautiful children you have inside and out x," while a third added "THATS IT! Clem wants to be a farmer so I guess is better GET ON THAT HORSE." The emotional responses continued with someone else stating "Aw what a beautiful family, this has me feeling emotional," highlighting how the Owen family's genuine dynamics resonate deeply with audiences.
Tonight's Episode Preview
The upcoming episode promises more of the authentic rural life that has made the series so beloved. According to the official synopsis, "As the main interior work approaches completion, Amanda takes the girls go on a camping trip under the stars in Swaledale, and heads to a local antiques shop in search of a traditional Yorkshire fireplace to restore and fit into Anty John's new living room."
The episode will also feature a historical element as "Derek the historian takes Amanda, Clem, and Nancy to the church where the house's former owner got married." This blend of family moments, farm work, and local history continues the series' successful formula.
Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids airs tonight at 8pm on More4, offering viewers another intimate look at life on one of Yorkshire's most famous working farms.
