Amanda Owen—better known to fans as the Yorkshire Shepherdess—has popped back up on Instagram, and naturally, the internet’s gone a bit wild. If you’ve been missing the down-to-earth charm of Our Yorkshire Farm, you’re not alone. The show’s been off air for a while, and folk are getting itchy for more sheep, snow, and proper Yorkshire grit.
So what’s Amanda been up to while we wait (not-so-patiently) for a new series? Turns out, quite a lot. And it’s as wholesome and hands-on as you’d expect.
Life on the farm is still full-on—even without the cameras
If you were worried Amanda might’ve swapped her wellies for something more glamorous, don’t be. She’s still deep in the thick of it—running the farm, raising her nine children, and taking us along for the ride through snippets on social media.
In a recent Instagram post, she gave followers a proper behind-the-scenes look at the family’s workday. The shot showed three of her kids helping out with the “gimmer hoggs”—that’s a fancy farming term for year-old female sheep, in case you’re not fluent in shepherd-speak. The caption read:
“Some of the farmy army in the pens with the gimmer hoggs making them ready to turn back to the moors.”
That’s your sign that even without the cameras, the Owens aren’t exactly putting their feet up.
Fans are practically pleading for a new series
While Amanda’s updates are lovely, they’re also a bit of a tease. Because every time she posts a photo, the comments fill up with the same question: When is the show coming back?
One particularly eager fan said exactly what everyone’s thinking:
“When is the next part of your series coming out @yorkshireshepherdess? Eagerly awaiting.”
And honestly, same.
Ever since Our Yorkshire Farm ended, and its follow-up Our Farm Next Door gave us one last peek into their world, there’s been a big telly-shaped hole in many homes. That final episode was a bit of an emotional gut-punch, too. Amanda got real about what the farm—and a special place called Anty John’s—means to her.
The house that holds a piece of her heart
Back in 2020, Amanda bought Anty John’s, a traditional property tucked away in Swaledale. The restoration of that building became the heart of Our Farm Next Door. It was more than just bricks and sheep pens—it was a symbol of everything she’s poured into this way of life.
Speaking during the series, she shared:
“I did feel a bit emotional when I came here today because I have invested so much into this. It has occupied my thoughts for years about how this was going to happen.”
That moment really hit fans in the feels. It showed a different side of Amanda—not just the shepherdess who wrestles sheep in blizzards, but someone deeply connected to the land, the history, and her family’s future.
The farm never stops ticking over
Of course, even with telly on pause, farming doesn’t wait. Amanda’s Instagram gives a steady drip of updates for fans hungry for more. Alongside the gimmer hoggs post, she also shared:
“We’re ready to mark up and horn burn with plenty of irons in the fire.”
Now, if you’re wondering what horn burning is, it’s part of caring for young sheep—it stops their horns from growing in a way that might hurt them or others later on. Not the most glamorous job, but that’s farm life for you. It’s gritty, real, and full of stuff you’d never see unless someone like Amanda showed you.
So… will Our Yorkshire Farm return?
Right now, there’s no official word. Channel 5 hasn’t confirmed any new episodes, and Amanda’s not spilled the beans either. But judging by how popular her updates are—and how many people are shouting about it in the comments—it wouldn’t be a shock if the cameras came rolling back one day.
Until then, fans will have to make do with her Insta snapshots, the occasional TV special, and rewatching their favourite moments from earlier series (you just know someone’s got a snowy lambing scene on repeat).
What makes Amanda Owen so watchable?
Let’s be honest. It’s not just the sheep or the stunning shots of the Yorkshire Dales that pulled us in. It’s Amanda. She’s one of those rare people who makes the hard stuff look doable—and even a bit magical. Whether she’s mucking out in a storm, wrangling kids, or talking about old stone buildings like they’re part of the family, she’s got a quiet kind of power that’s seriously inspiring.
And in a world that’s always rushing, her way of living slows things down. Reminds us what matters. Reminds us that there’s something very real about hard work, muddy boots, and a proper brew after a long day.
Key takeaways
- Amanda Owen is still sharing her life on the farm, mostly through Instagram.
- Fans are begging for Our Yorkshire Farm to return to Channel 5.
- The last show we saw was Our Farm Next Door, where Amanda opened up about renovating Anty John’s in 2020.
- There’s no official word on a return—but the demand is definitely there.
Until then, here’s hoping the farmy army keeps posting—and that those gimmer hoggs know they’re basically celebrities now.
