Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan has shared a new TikTok video showing off her fresh salon haircut and manicured nails, as she continues to challenge stereotypes in the male-dominated agriculture industry.
The 25-year-old, who appears on the Amazon Prime reality series, lip-synced to music, twirled around and displayed her new look in the short clip, which she captioned: "Had a chop. And new nails just for the farm."
Fans praise Harriet's video
The video received more than 4,500 likes and drew scores of complimentary comments. One viewer wrote: "Looking good." Another said: "You're so beautiful, Harriet." A third commented: "She's beautiful inside and out." A fourth added: "Simply stunning."
Harriet uses her platform to show that women can do the hard work on a farm and still enjoy make-up, glamorous events and self-care rituals. Her content includes driving tractors, rearing animals and mucking in on the farm.
From nursing to farming
Since her breakout appearance on season four of Clarkson's Farm, Harriet left her full-time nursing career to focus entirely on agriculture and content creation. She launched her YouTube channel, "Harriet on the Farm," and has built hundreds of thousands of followers across TikTok and Instagram, where she champions and inspires young women in farming.
The TV star has spoken about plans to open her own farm and is releasing her first book next month.
Changing the stereotype
Harriet told the BBC: "I think when you talk to somebody and ask what they stereotypically think of when someone says farmer they say '60-year-old man with a checked shirt and a beer belly', and a lot of the time that is it, but us women are out here and farmers too."
"Just because I'm a small blonde that likes to curl her hair and wear make-up, it doesn't mean I can't be a farmer. I'm trying to change the norm of the man being the farmer and the woman being the stay-at-home wife and cook. When the war was on, women did all the farming, so we have always farmed – it's just changing that stereotype."
