Amanda Owen Reunites With Lookalike Daughter Raven — Fans Left Stunned by How Much the Kids Have Grown
The Yorkshire Shepherdess delights fans with heartwarming family photos as Raven returns to the farm
NORTH YORKSHIRE — Amanda Owen, known across Britain as The Yorkshire Shepherdess, has once again captured hearts online — this time with a joyful reunion with her eldest daughter, Raven, during a rare family get-together on Ravenseat Farm. The touching moment came as Amanda shared a series of candid photos showing Raven, 21, surrounded by her eight younger siblings and the ever-growing menagerie of farm animals.
Raven, who has been away studying biomedical science and recently graduated with first-class honours, appeared entirely at ease back on home turf — muck boots and all. Fans were quick to flood Amanda’s social media with comments, marveling at the family’s bond and the children’s dramatic growth.
“Good grief, Miles has shot up!!” exclaimed one follower.
“I love these pictures — Edith is so tall now. Lovely family,” another added.
A third chimed in: “Miles and Edith have gotten so tall, Sidney’s catching up too!”
A Rare Glimpse Into Family Life
Amanda, 50, has made a name for herself not only as a hardworking hill farmer, author, and TV personality, but also as a devoted mother of nine children: Raven, Reuben, Miles, Edith, Violet, Sidney, Annas, Clemmy, and Nancy. Since rising to fame through the Channel 5 series Our Yorkshire Farm, Amanda’s followers have remained emotionally invested in her family’s unique lifestyle in the remote Dales.
Though Raven has spent recent years away at university, her return to the farm for a short visit brought joy — and nostalgia — to many longtime fans.
“It’s like seeing a big sister come home from war,” joked one commenter. “She’s always been such a grounded, wise presence. It’s beautiful to see her still so connected to the farm.”
Photos that Melted Hearts
In the latest photos, Raven is seen gently feeding lambs, walking beside her sister Edith, and leaning on a hay bale while laughing with her younger brothers. One image — showing Raven sitting cross-legged in the sun with Clemmy curled beside her — drew hundreds of comments within minutes.
“Raven and Clemmy — now that’s a bond!” wrote one fan. “You can tell they really miss each other.”
Others focused on the subtle but unmistakable resemblance between Amanda and her eldest daughter.
“Like mother, like daughter,” said one. “It’s uncanny how much Raven looks like Amanda did in her early TV appearances.”
Amanda’s Quiet Pride
While Amanda’s captions are always humble and often humorous, followers picked up on the quiet pride in her words. In one image, she wrote:
“Raven, home for a short while. Back in the rhythm like she never left. The lambs are lucky to have her — we all are.”
Amanda has previously spoken about how difficult it can be to let her children grow up and leave the farm, even as she supports their independence wholeheartedly.
“You raise them to fly, but part of you always wants to keep them close,” she said in a 2023 interview. “With Raven, I see strength, grace, and kindness. She’ll be alright — she already is.”
Fans Still Feel Like Family
Many followers of Our Yorkshire Farm have watched the Owen children grow from toddlers into young adults, making reunions like this feel personal.
“I remember when Raven helped with lambing in her school uniform,” one longtime fan posted. “Now she’s a graduate — and still pitching in with the sheep.”
The return of Raven also sparked renewed interest in the future of Amanda’s other children, especially Reuben and Miles, who are pursuing mechanical and agricultural work. Amanda has hinted that several of her children may return to farming permanently.
“There’s no pressure,” she said during a livestream Q&A. “But if they choose this life, they know the land will always welcome them.”
Looking Ahead: Life After Our Yorkshire Farm
Although Our Yorkshire Farm concluded its final season in 2022, Amanda continues to update fans via Instagram and appearances in the Channel 5 follow-up series Our Farm Next Door. Her transparency, humor, and devotion to parenting have kept her a favorite among viewers and readers alike.
With Raven back for a brief stay, and the rest of the kids visibly maturing into their own roles on the farm, Amanda’s followers can’t help but feel like they’re witnessing the next generation of shepherds being raised before their eyes.
Conclusion: Growing Up in the Dales
What began as a peek into a family’s unconventional lifestyle has become a cherished part of British television history. And with every shared photo — especially ones like this week’s reunion with Raven — Amanda Owen continues to prove that even amid hard farm work and rural challenges, love and togetherness always take center stage.
