Amanda Owen has opened up about the future of Ravenseat Farm, expressing confidence in her daughter Clemmy as the family continues to feature in the fourth season of Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids. Work on the centuries-old farmhouse in the Yorkshire Dales moved indoors during the series.
Filmed from winter 2025 through spring 2026, the episodes followed the family's daily life at Ravenseat Farm through winter weather, spring lambing, and new animal arrivals after the loss of family dog, Chalky. Amanda also discussed what lies ahead for the farm.
A Timeless Way of Life
While herding sheep on a hill with her daughter, Clemmy, Amanda said: "[If] you look, actually, there is nothing at all that you can see out here that tells you what time, what century you're in. It is timeless."
She added: "But you know what? The thing is, it's at this time of year, doing this kind of thing that was the thing that I always wanted to do. This is the kind of picture that I had in my mind, you know?"
"This is the kind of place that I wanted to be. So, it's not often that people can achieve, accomplish a dream. And sometimes it's not a dream, it's a blooming nightmare. It takes a certain sort of person to be able to stand these conditions."
Praise for Clemmy
Turning to Clemmy, Amanda said: "And you are it, aren't you?" She went on: "She never falters, her enthusiasm certainly rubs off on me. Well, Clemmy is an absolute warrior, she really is."
Clemmy responded: "It's really fun and exciting. And yeah, I think it's really good. I like the challenge [that] it comes with. It's not just a breeze, and there's lots and lots of sheep. And just hard, but good at the same time."
On the prospect of taking over the farm when she's older, Clemmy said: "I like this place. So, I'm probably going to get the farm, and probably someone will help me." Amanda continued to praise her daughter, saying: "Yes, very fastidious. Very dedicated, very devoted. And I think that is wonderful... I am so proud of you, Clem."
What's Next for the Owens
This comes after Our Farm Next Door was renewed for two more series. In series five and six, viewers will continue to follow the Owens as their plans for Anty John's press on and the building evolves from a house into a home.
Meanwhile, Amanda will discover more of the history of Anty John's and of one of its previous owners, Anthony Clarkson. The 19th-century Swaledale mapmaker's diary revelations will continue to draw fascinating parallels with the lives of the Owens some 200 years later.
