Amanda Owen

Amanda Owen (born September 1974[1]) is an English shepherd and writer.

Her first book The Yorkshire Shepherdess was published in 2015 (Sidgwick & Jackson, ISBN 978-0283071966) and she followed this in 2017 with A Year in the Life of the Yorkshire Shepherdess (Sidgwick & Jackson, ISBN 978-0283072413). Before the books she was known to many readers through her Twitter feed as "The Yorkshire Shepherdess".[2]

She lives and farms on a remote farm, Ravenseat, Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales with her husband Clive Owen and their nine children.[3]

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.[4] On 14 July 2019 she was the subject of BBC Radio 4's On Your Farm.[5] On 21 October 2019, she appeared on the podcast Trees A Crowd with David Oakes.[6]
