The final episode of series two of Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids graced our screens on Tuesday.
Initially capturing hearts in 2018, Our Yorkshire Farm followed the adventures of Clive and Amanda Owen, along with their nine children, managing life on a secluded sheep farm in Yorkshire.
Audiences have come to know the Owen clan well, which includes Amanda, Clive and their nine children – Raven, Reuben, Miles, Edith, Violet, Sidney, Annas, Clementine, and Nancy.
Despite the end of Our Yorkshire Farm in 2022, due to Amanda and Clive’s split, the pair remain TV favourites with their follow-up show Our Farm Next Door.

The popular programme centres around Amanda, Clive, and their large family as they breathe new life into a centuries-old farmhouse in the picturesque Yorkshire Dales.
The 1800s property is located in Swaledale near Ravenseat Farm and it is named Anty John after a former owner called Anthony John Clarkson, reports Leeds Live.
As the second series concluded on Tuesday evening, Amanda rallied her family to disclose progress on the renovation 20 months on.
Despite the demands of the lambing season, Amanda shared that she’d taken time to pause and gather with her family to reflect on the house progress.

She reflected with her family, saying: “There’s a lot going on but we have managed to make time today to gather everybody, the whole family, to come to Anty John’s. So this is quite momentous really.
“There’s a little bit more warmth, things are greening up a little bit, so it’s all about new life and new starts and all the rest of it. So I guess that ties in very nicely with Anty John’s as that’s certainly a new beginning.”
Clive observed during a family picnic on the farm: “Ay, it looks well now, doesn’t it?” as they caught up with Richard, Kelly, and David at the site.
A reflective Amanda mused: “I suppose to reflect really on how far we’ve got and how far we’ve got to go”, noting that the project has been a “huge learning curve”.

In a moment of levity, while looking back, someone quipped about the possibility of the property falling into ruin again, which was met with Amanda firmly responding: “No it will not ever be a ruin again, if Reuben moves in, yes it will become a ruin again!”
Elaborating on her forthcoming endeavours, Amanda shared: “Work is continuing and we’re forging ahead, it’s like we’re nearly onto the next stage. Once we’ve got the plaster on and the floor done, there’s no reason why some of this stuff [the furniture] can’t go up there”, calling on her daughters for assistance with the interior design.
At the close of the episode, Channel 4 left viewers in suspense with an on-screen notice saying “to be continued…”
Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids is available to watch on Channel 4.
