Amanda Owen Welcomes Lookalike Daughter Raven Back to Yorkshire Farm After Years Away at University
It’s a homecoming that has tugged at the heartstrings of fans across the UK. Amanda Owen, known affectionately as the Yorkshire Shepherdess, has welcomed her eldest daughter, Raven, back to the family’s iconic farm in the Yorkshire Dales after years away studying at university.
Raven, now 21, recently completed her degree in biomedical science at York St John University and has returned to Ravenseat Farm — the picturesque rural haven that became famous through the hit Channel 5 series Our Yorkshire Farm.
The return of Raven not only marks a reunion for the large Owen family but has also delighted longtime fans of the show, many of whom remember her as the calm, intelligent, and nurturing eldest sibling who played a pivotal role in managing the busy household alongside her mother.
A Rare Reunion on the Moorlands
Amanda shared the heartwarming news with fans via Instagram, posting a sun-drenched photo of Raven walking through the family’s farmland, sheepdogs trailing close behind and the iconic Yorkshire hills in the background.
“Back where she belongs,” Amanda captioned the image. “After years of study and hard work, it’s lovely to have Raven home again. The sheep are already following her around like old times!”
The post quickly went viral, with thousands of comments praising Raven’s return — and her striking resemblance to Amanda.
“She’s her mother’s double!” one fan commented. “The same strength, same smile, same spirit.”
Another added, “It’s so special to see the next generation return to their roots.”
From Screen to Science and Back Again
Raven rose to public prominence as part of the beloved Owen clan, whose lives were chronicled in Our Yorkshire Farm from 2018 to 2022. As the eldest of Amanda and Clive Owen’s nine children, Raven often took on the role of ‘second mum,’ helping raise her siblings while excelling at school.
Despite the remote location and demanding lifestyle, Raven thrived in the Dales and earned widespread admiration for her maturity and dedication. Her decision to pursue higher education in the sciences was celebrated by fans, with many watching closely as she balanced academic life with her farming roots.
“She’s always had an incredible work ethic,” Amanda said in a past interview. “Whether it was helping with the lambs at 5 a.m. or staying up late revising, Raven always gave it her all.”
Now, with her degree completed, Raven’s return to the farm has sparked fresh speculation about her next chapter — and whether she might rejoin her family’s rural life full-time.
Reconnecting with Her Roots
Sources close to the family say Raven plans to spend the summer at Ravenseat, helping Amanda manage the land and livestock, and enjoying a well-earned break from academia. While she’s not expected to make any permanent moves just yet, Amanda has hinted that her daughter’s future might still include the farm in some capacity.
“She’s home for now, and that’s enough,” Amanda wrote. “Whether she stays, goes, or does a bit of both, we’re proud beyond words.”
Raven has remained relatively private since leaving the show, making only occasional public appearances and keeping a low profile on social media. However, fans have continued to follow her journey from afar, with many hoping to see her reappear in future projects — especially if Amanda returns to TV.
Amanda’s Life After the Cameras
Since Our Yorkshire Farm ended, Amanda Owen has kept busy with a mix of public speaking, writing, and managing life at the farm. Her bestselling books, social media presence, and role as a rural advocate have only strengthened her status as one of the UK’s most beloved farming personalities.
Though her marriage to Clive ended in 2022, Amanda and Clive continue to co-parent their children and work together to maintain Ravenseat. In many ways, the farm remains the emotional anchor of their family — a place of resilience, growth, and healing.
With Raven’s return, the family dynamic is once again shifting — but in a way that feels both nostalgic and full of new possibilities.
A Welcome Home Filled with Hope
As Amanda Owen walks the familiar moors with her daughter once again by her side, there’s a sense of renewal in the Yorkshire air. The return of Raven, a symbol of strength and ambition born from the very soil she’s now walking again, is a reminder of the enduring bond between land and legacy.
Whether Raven’s future lies in science, farming, or both, her homecoming has already struck a chord with fans — many of whom see in her the next chapter of a story that’s far from over.
One thing is certain: the Owen family continues to inspire, and with Raven back at Ravenseat, the hills of Yorkshire just got a little brighter.
