Edith Owen is one of the nine children of shepherdess and author Amanda Owen and farmer Clive Owen. She grew up at Ravenseat, the remote hill farm at the head of Swaledale in North Yorkshire that millions of viewers know from Channel 5’s Our Yorkshire Farm. Most of what is online about her comes from round-ups about her mother. This profile pulls the verifiable facts together, says plainly where sources disagree, and leaves out the speculation that tends to build up around young people on TV.
Who is Edith Owen?
Edith is the second-eldest Owen daughter and the fourth of nine children. Viewers know her from the family’s TV programmes, where the children are filmed doing everyday farm work: lambing, moving sheep, feeding animals and helping around the farmhouse. In press coverage she is usually called one of the quieter Owen children, which matches how little she has said in public.
She is not a celebrity in the usual sense. She has no agent or publicity machine, and no public profile apart from her family’s. She is known because she grew up on camera. We have kept this article to details that are already public and have avoided anything that would intrude on her private life.

Early life and background
To understand Edith’s childhood, you need to understand Ravenseat. It is a working hill farm of about 2,000 acres, high in the Yorkshire Dales. It sits at the end of a long track, many miles from the nearest town. The Coast to Coast walking route passes the farmhouse, which is why walkers have long stopped there for refreshments.
The Owen children grew up with responsibilities that most children their age never have. Amanda’s books and the TV series show even the youngest helping with lambing, sheep gathering and looking after the animals. The family has talked openly about home-schooling and flexible routines around farm work. The children also went to local schools at different stages. That combination comes up often in coverage of the family.
How old is Edith Owen?
This is where most websites go wrong. Aggregator biographies give Edith a range of ages. Some contradict themselves or simply count on from an old article without checking. The general picture from mainstream reporting, including the Daily Express, is that she was born in the late 2000s, between her brother Miles and her sister Violet. That would make her an older teenager or young adult in 2026.
We have not found a primary source, such as a statement from the family or one of Amanda’s books, giving an exact date of birth. So we are not printing one. If you see a precise birthday on a celebrity-facts site, treat it as unverified.
Career highlights
Our Yorkshire Farm
Edith’s main public credit is as part of the family cast of Our Yorkshire Farm. Channel 5 began broadcasting the series in 2018, and it became one of the channel’s best-performing factual programmes. It followed a farming year at Ravenseat. A large part of its appeal was watching the children grow up, take on more responsibility and develop their own interests.
Edith appeared throughout the run alongside her siblings. Like the other children, she was shown doing the work rather than presenting to camera. Her parents narrated and explained, and the children got on with the jobs.
The follow-up series
After Amanda and Clive separated, Channel 5 picked up the family’s story again in a follow-up series, Our Farm Next Door. It follows Amanda and the children as they also work a neighbouring farm. Viewers could see the Owen children as teenagers and young adults. Edith’s appearances fit the same pattern: practical work, low-key presence, very little self-promotion.
The Ravenseat cream tea tradition
For years Ravenseat served cream teas to walkers and visitors. It was a well-known part of the farm’s income and character, and it features often in Amanda’s books. A report by BritBrief says Edith has revived the tradition as a venture of her own.
For transparency: when we reviewed this article, we could not confirm the details of that venture through a first-hand source, such as an official Ravenseat announcement or a statement from Edith or Amanda. The cream teas themselves are well documented. Edith’s specific role in a revived business is reported but not independently confirmed by us. We will update this section if the family confirms it publicly.
Personal and family life
Parents: Amanda and Clive Owen
Edith’s mother, Amanda Owen, is the family’s public face. She is a bestselling author whose books include The Yorkshire Shepherdess, a broadcaster and a working shepherdess. Her father, Clive Owen, has farmed at Ravenseat for decades. The farm was his long before Amanda arrived.
In 2022 Amanda and Clive announced that they had separated, and said they would keep working together for the sake of the farm and the children. Since then both have talked about the change in interviews. The follow-up series showed the family’s new arrangements. We will not go further than what they have chosen to share.
Edith Owen’s siblings
| Order | Sibling | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Raven | Eldest child; has pursued further education away from the farm |
| 2 | Reuben | Eldest son; known on screen for his mechanical and practical skills |
| 3 | Miles | Second son; often shown working with livestock |
| 4 | Edith | Second daughter |
| 5 | Violet | Third daughter |
| 6 | Sidney | Third son |
| 7 | Annas | Fourth daughter |
| 8 | Clementine (Clemmie) | Fifth daughter |
| 9 | Nancy | Youngest child |
Who is Violet Owen?
Many people who search for Edith also search for Violet Owen, and the results can be misleading. In the context of Our Yorkshire Farm, Violet is Edith’s younger sister and the fifth Owen child. She appears in the TV series alongside her siblings.
However, the Wikipedia page titled “Violet Owen” is about a different person: an early 20th-century tennis player with no connection to the Ravenseat family. If you are looking for Amanda Owen’s daughter, ignore that page.
A note on privacy
Edith grew up on television because of her parents’ choices, not her own. She has not made her relationships, education or personal plans public. We do not repeat rumours about her love life or private matters, and we would suggest you treat sites that do with caution. Most cannot cite a source.
Edith Owen now: latest projects
When we reviewed this article on 5 November 2026, the publicly reported picture was as follows:
- Family TV: Edith is still part of the family seen in Channel 5’s coverage of the Owens. Her appearances are tied to the family’s farming life, not to solo projects.
- Cream teas: She has been reported as reviving the Ravenseat cream tea tradition. This is not yet confirmed by a first-hand family source (see above).
- Social media: Updates about the farm and the children mostly come through Amanda Owen’s official channels. We have not identified a verified public account run by Edith. Be wary of fan or impersonation accounts.
If you want reliable updates, use Amanda Owen’s official social media and Channel 5’s programme pages. Recycled “where are they now” articles often repeat information that is several years out of date.
