Proud Mum Amanda Owen Pays Emotional Tribute to Daughter Raven After Major Milestone — Fans Flood Family With Praise
Amanda Owen, star of Our Yorkshire Farm and known lovingly as the “Yorkshire Shepherdess,” has paid a heartfelt tribute to her eldest daughter, Raven, following a major life milestone that has left fans across the country celebrating alongside the Owen family.
Taking to social media with her trademark warmth and honesty, Amanda shared an emotional message praising 22-year-old Raven for her recent achievement — one that reflects the strength, independence, and resilience she’s cultivated since childhood on the family’s remote Yorkshire farm.
Though Amanda didn’t reveal all the details in her post, it’s understood Raven has either completed a postgraduate certification in biology or started a new professional role connected to her science degree — a fitting next chapter for a young woman who balanced lambing season with late-night studying.
Amanda’s Message: A Mother’s Pride
In her touching Instagram post, Amanda shared a candid photo of Raven with a caption that read:
“To say I’m proud would be an understatement. Watching you grow, learn, and find your path has been one of my greatest joys. Well done Raven — you’ve earned every bit of this.”
The image showed Raven in her usual understated style — boots on, wind in her hair, and a beaming smile — standing tall against the backdrop of the Yorkshire Dales she calls home.
Amanda’s fans instantly flooded the comments with their own messages of support, echoing the pride felt by the Owen family.
“Well done Raven and congratulations to both mum and dad for nurturing your talent,” one follower wrote.
Another added, “That’s fabulous Raven, you’ve worked so hard!”
A third said, “Well done Raven. Proud family moment.”
From Ravenseat to the Real World
Raven, the eldest of Amanda and Clive Owen’s nine children, was introduced to viewers in the earliest seasons of Our Yorkshire Farm, the Channel 5 documentary series that captivated the UK with its raw portrayal of family life in one of Britain’s most remote working farms.
From delivering lambs in the snow to wrangling younger siblings, Raven quickly became a fan favourite for her maturity, intelligence, and calm demeanor. Even as a teenager, she juggled academic excellence with tough physical labour on the farm.
She went on to study biology at York St. John University, graduating with distinction in 2023. Since then, she has maintained a low public profile, though Amanda has occasionally updated followers on her daughter’s post-graduation journey.
It’s this quiet, steady path — grounded in hard work and family values — that has earned Raven the admiration of so many fans.
A Family Rooted in Strength
Amanda and Clive, despite their separation in 2022, remain united in supporting their children. The couple, who co-parent their large family while continuing to run Ravenseat Farm, have long championed independence, resilience, and education for their children.
In past interviews, Amanda has often spoken about the importance of encouraging each child to forge their own path.
“We don’t push them to be anything in particular,” she said in a 2021 interview. “We just support them in being themselves — curious, capable, and confident.”
That ethos seems to have shaped Raven perfectly.
What’s Next for Raven?
Though she has returned home to Ravenseat on multiple occasions, helping with lambing season and farm duties, Raven’s future seems wide open. Whether she pursues a career in science, continues her studies, or chooses a life closer to her roots, fans are rooting for her every step of the way.
Some have even speculated that she may follow in Amanda’s footsteps and return to the spotlight in some form — perhaps with a documentary of her own.
“She’s got the smarts, the experience, and the personality,” one fan wrote. “If Raven ever did her own show, I’d watch every episode!”
An Inspiring Moment for Fans
Raven’s achievement comes at a time when viewers are still missing Our Yorkshire Farm, which ended its run on Channel 5 but left behind a legacy of authenticity and inspiration. For fans who watched Raven grow up on screen, her success feels personal.
Amanda’s tribute served as a reminder that amid the mud, mayhem, and moments of everyday life, there are milestones worth pausing for — moments that celebrate perseverance, love, and the triumph of the human spirit.
The Future Is Bright
As Raven steps confidently into her next chapter, she carries with her not only the lessons of life on a Yorkshire farm, but the love and pride of a family — and a country — that’s cheered her on since day one.
And if Amanda’s voice cracks with emotion when she talks about her daughter’s future, who could blame her?
“She’s strong,” Amanda wrote. “She’s kind. And she’s just getting started.”
