After months of keeping our lips sealed, we're delighted to announce that 'Amanda Owen's Farming Lives' will launch on More4 on January 25th. Filmed in September and October 2022, the series explores the modern day challenges faced by farmers across the UK, something Amanda can very much relate to as a full-time sheep farmer herself. The series opens with the moving story of two sisters and their mother living on the beautiful isle of Shetland and their bid to build their cattle farming business in one of the UK's most remote locations. 'Amanda Owen's Farming Lives' airs weekly in the 9pm slot and is produced by Leeds-based Wise Owl Films.
Amanda Owen joins Puffin in 7 book deal
We’re overjoyed to announce an exciting new adventure for Amanda Owen, the Yorkshire Shepherdess, as she steps into the world of children’s literature. Amanda's enchanting storytelling is about to captivate a brand new audience, spanning picture books, non-fiction and middle-grade fiction in a 7 book deal with Puffin, negotiated by Wolfsong. Set to launch in September 2025, the first book, Christmas Tales from the Farm, is a wonderful collection of festive short stories for children age 8-12, inspired by real-life rural escapades and the characterful farm animals that call Ravenseat home. With beautiful illustrations by Becca Hall throughout, children will enjoy tales of mischievous lost sheep, abandoned chickens in search of a loving home, a playful runaway reindeer and much more, all told with Amanda's trademark warmth and humour. Christmas Tales from the Farm will be published by Puffin on September 11th 2025.
