Amanda Owen's Farming Lives

The famous shepherdess visits farms across the country and immerses herself in the day to day lives of the farmers, starting in Shetland. Kirsty and Aimee own a coastal farm at the northernmost tip of the UK and welcome Amanda to come join them to learn what it's like cattle farming in such an isolated setting and to give her a taste of Shetland fare.

Amanda visits Castle Farm near Newport, south Wales. During the pandemic the farm expanded to support four families with their dairy cows, chickens and the farm shop business. The host joins three generations of the farm-owning family at the prestigious Usk Country Show where their milkshake machine pulls in some much needed revenue and the younger members show off their calf.

In Todmorden, Amanda mucks in at a pig farm with a difference run by an extraordinary couple, and learns the art of salami production with some very messy results
