Amanda Owen
Amanda Owen is an English shepherd and writer.
Her first book The Yorkshire Shepherdess was published in 2015 and she followed this in 2017 with A Year in the Life of the Yorkshire Shepherdess. Before the books she was known to many readers through her Twitter feed as "The Yorkshire Shepherdess".
She lives and farms on a remote farm, Ravenseat, Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales with her husband Clive Owen and their nine children.
In August 2017 she appeared on BBC Radio 4's The Museum of Curiosity. Her hypothetical donation to this imaginary museum was a shepherd's whistle, used to communicate with her sheep dogs. On 14 July 2019 she was the subject of BBC Radio 4's On Your Farm. On 21 October 2019, she appeared on the podcast Trees A Crowd with David Oakes.
Channel 5's Our Yorkshire Farm is an observational documentary series following life on the Owens' farm.
