"Strength doesn't come from what you can do, it's from what you reckoned you couldn't. You can be proud and humble you know and farming is a great leveller.

"You can't ever get too far ahead before rot sets in, the heavens open or the wheel comes off (literally or metaphorically).", reports the Manchester Evening News.

"Farming is, after all a profession of hope. #yorkshire #grit #resilience #farm #family #shepherdess #books."

Her 543K followers were quick to react to the post, with one fan commenting: "You're an amazing family x" alongside a heart emoji.

Another follower wrote: "Love your posts Amanda.xx", while another said: "love your family, since I first read your book before you were on telly xx". Another added: "Love this take on all of what you do supporting one another on the farm x."

Amanda and her former husband Clive Owen are parents to nine children: Raven, Reuben, Miles, Edith, Violet, Sidney, Annas, Clementine, and Nancy.

Their popular documentary series, Our Yorkshire Farm, ended in 2022 following Amanda and Clive's split. The show first hit our screens back in 2018.

The Owen family are back on our screens with a new series, Our Farm Next Door, which documents their adventures as they renovate a historic farmhouse nestled in the stunning Yorkshire Dales.

This comes as Amanda candidly discussed her co-parenting journey with ex-partner Clive during an appearance on ITV's Lorraine.

Lorraine Kelly, the show's host, noted: "The fact that you have managed, even though you're separated, the two of you - you and your husband - have managed to still work together, parent together, can't have been easy but you've made it work!

"I've talked to you about this before Amanda, you have made it work and that's a wonderful thing to have done."

Amanda replied with a humorous anecdote: "He was on the phone this morning, he had fried eggs in some yellow washing up liquid!

"So he was complaining that I shouldn't buy washing up liquid in yellow! Washing up liquid should only be green!".

Lorraine responded with amusement: "Oh I see... because he thought it was like, okay..." before breaking into laughter. Amanda insisted: "So you see, we are up against it!

"Believe me, it's the idea that we're just getting on with it, there's plenty to do, plenty of space and a heap of things always on the go. Let's be honest, that's reality!" with Lorraine replying: "Of course it is!"
