The great outdoors is pivotal to Amanda’s life and work on the farm, so she was thrilled when Natural England got in touch with an opportunity to work on their Countryside Code campaign. The Code is essentially a guide to enjoying parks and waterways, coast and countryside in England and Wales. Through a refresh of the Code messaging, the aim was to ensure everybody is welcomed and encouraged to enjoy nature, whilst helping them do that in a way that protects and respects the natural environment, its visitors, and those who own and manage the land.
Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids - new More4 series
We're thrilled to announce a new ob-doc series from Leeds-based Wise Owl Films following ‘Yorkshire Shepherdess’ Amanda Owen and her family as they renovate a derelict farmhouse. Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids charts the Owens’ journey to breathe life back into a derelict neighbouring property they bought to plan for the family’s future. The series sees Amanda, Clive and their nine children work with a team of local tradespeople to slowly bring their ambitious vision for the farmhouse - known locally as Anty John’s - to life, tackling the changing seasons and challenging elements along the way, as well as getting to grips with the nature of restoring a listed property in a remote location. Cameras also follow Amanda as she digs deep into the farmhouse’s past and reveals the fascinating part its former owners played in local history. The series was commissioned by Channel 4 in a deal secured via Jo Cantello of Wolfsong Media, Amanda Owen's agent. TX dates to be announced soon.
