Our Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen has expressed that she may not continue to live at their famous Ravenseat farm in the future due to her children’s differing attitudes to rural life.
The 46-year-old opened up to BBC Radio 4 about the uncertainty and shared that their longevity at the farm depends on her children’s career plans.
The Yorkshire-based beauty was quizzed on her plans during a new interview with Poet Laureate Simon Armitage who asked her what would happen if her children didn’t want to become farmers.
The shepherdess shares a whopping nine children with her husband Clive Owen, who all feature on the hit TV programme.

The television personality revealed that how long the family aims to spend on the farm is currently up in the air at this stage and that she doesn’t really want to focus on that question either.
The mum-of-nine said: “I don’t look that far ahead.
“I say to the children they can be whatever they want to be and go wherever they want to go.”

Amanda also went on to reveal that many of her children go through phases where they want to up sticks and develop their lives in more built-up areas.
She added: “And of course they go through stages where they’re more enthusiastic about the countryside, as they get older into their teens obviously they want to go away.
“Raven [Amanda’s eldest child] when she went to York, she was heading to the bright lights, couldn’t wait to get to a place where her phone worked and she could order a takeaway without it being cold and stuck to the paper – it’s all brilliant.

“But you know within a month or two I’m getting text messages asking how to make Yorkshire pudding tins out of bean cans and can you prove a loaf of bread on a radiator when you haven’t got on open fire.
“So it’s instilled into you the kind of life you lead in the countryside.”
Seven of Amanda’s children still live at home with the country-loving couple.
Miles, 15, Edith, 12, Violet, ten, Sidney, nine; Annas, seven, Clemmy, five and Nancy, all still live in the Owen family home at Ravenseat while Amanda’s two eldest children have moved out.
Raven, 20, is currently studying biomedical science in York, and Reuben, 16, has started an apprenticeship as a mechanic.
