Our Yorkshire Farm - what Amanda Owen’s daughter Violet is doing now

Amanda Owen's nine children have grown up in front of millions of television viewers since Our Yorkshire Farm first aired in 2018.

But while some of the older siblings have pursued careers and interests away from the family's remote Yorkshire Dales home, the younger children continue to play an important role in life at Ravenseat.

Among them is Violet Owen, who is now 16 and remains involved in the family's farming activities.

Violet is the fifth of Amanda and former husband Clive Owen's nine children.

She first became familiar to television audiences through Channel 5's Our Yorkshire Farm, which documented the family's life at their 2,000-acre sheep farm in Upper Swaledale.

The programme showed the children helping with livestock, learning practical farming skills and growing up surrounded by the Yorkshire Dales countryside.

The More4 programme follows the Owens as they restore Anty John's, a historic farmhouse situated close to Ravenseat.

The restoration has brought the family together for a series of demanding building projects, with the children helping alongside their parents and local tradespeople.

But Violet's involvement extends beyond the renovation.

She has also been associated with the family's revived cream tea tradition, which has become a significant storyline in the newer programme.

The venture is being led by her older sister Edith, who has taken responsibility for welcoming visitors passing through the Yorkshire Dales.

Channel 4 confirmed on November 2 that Violet would continue to feature in the programme as part of the family's cream tea activities.

The broadcaster announced that Our Farm Next Door would return for two further series, following the Owens from summer 2026 into spring 2027.

The episodes will feature Edith, Violet and their sisters reopening the cream tea van at Ravenseat.

Meanwhile, their brothers Sid and Miles will take on more farming responsibilities as the family considers its future.

Violet's continued involvement reflects how the children's roles have changed since the early days of Our Yorkshire Farm.

While she was still young when the original programme began, she is now among the older siblings helping with the family's activities.

Amanda has previously spoken about the opportunities her children have enjoyed growing up in the countryside.

In an October 2026 interview, she explained that the family did not impose strict limits on screen time because there were so many other activities available on the farm.

With the new series confirmed, viewers will have another opportunity to follow Violet and her siblings as they continue growing up at Ravenseat.
