When Our Yorkshire Farm began in 2018, Amanda and Clive Owen's nine children were all closely associated with one place, Ravenseat Farm.
Raven, Reuben, Miles, Edith, Violet, Sidney, Annas, Clementine and Nancy grew up on the remote 2,000-acre farm in Upper Swaledale, where viewers watched them work with sheep, machinery and more.
Eight years on, the family’s lives have changed.
Some of the older Owen children have forged careers of their own, while the younger ones remain closely involved in family life.
The family does not routinely reveal where each member lives, particularly the younger children.
Amanda, Clive and Kids altogether outside Anty John’s
Their television appearances and public careers show who remains involved with Ravenseat.
Raven, the eldest daughter, has forged a distinctive life away from farming.
After graduating with first-class honours in Biomedical Science from York St John University, she pursued postgraduate study and a scientific career.
Raven has nevertheless kept strong ties to her childhood home.
She has continued to appear with her family and returned to Ravenseat during the third series of Our Farm Next Door for her youngest sister Nancy's birthday.
Reuben remains rooted in the countryside where he grew up, but his career now reaches well beyond the family farm.
His childhood fascination with diggers and tractors grew into a groundworks and heavy machinery business.
His work also led to two television series: Beyond the Yorkshire Farm: Reuben and Clive, followed by Reuben Owen: Life in the Dales.
After five series of Our Yorkshire Farm, Channel 5 launched the Reuben and Clive spin-off.
Reuben still works regularly with his family and appears at Ravenseat.
Miles has stayed even more closely tied to traditional farming.
He has worked alongside Reuben, combining his interest in livestock with machinery and agricultural contracting.
The brothers appeared together during the latest Life in the Dales series, while Miles also continues to feature in the wider Owen family story.
Sidney, usually known as Sid, is increasingly following his older brothers’ example.
Viewers of Our Farm Next Door have watched him getting involved in increasingly substantial jobs.
In series three, Sid inspected a collapsed bridge with Amanda before helping Reuben and Clive repair it.
Amanda and Clem outside Anty John’s
He has also worked alongside Reuben and Miles, including on sheep shearing.
Far fewer details have been made public about Edith and Violet’s lives away from the programme.
Both grew up helping at Ravenseat and still appear with the family, but neither has yet built a high-profile public career like Raven, Reuben or Miles.
The three youngest girls — Annas, Clementine, known as Clemmie, and Nancy — remain closely tied to family and farm life on screen.
Recent episodes have shown Annas and Clemmie planning to buy sheep of their own.
Clive has also taught Annas, Clemmie and Nancy to work with sheepdog Nellie, just as he did with their older siblings.
That mix of old and new is a key theme of Our Farm Next Door.
The programme follows Amanda, Clive and the children as they transform Anty John’s while documenting life around Ravenseat. More4’s third series showed them tackling everything from livestock and underfloor heating to sheepdog training.
Series four is expected next month.
