From academic success to country life and partying, Raven Owen manages to pack a lot into her busy life.

The 22-year-old, who rose to fame with her parents and siblings on Our Yorkshire Farm, recently returned to the homestead after completing her studies at York St. John University.

Our Yorkshire Farm, which launched in 2018 on Channel 5, starred now-divorced couple Amanda, 48, and Clive Owen alongside their nine children.

It was created after the Owens appeared on ITV’s The Dales, and for four series,  followed the family-of-11 in their day-to-day running of the remote farm Ravenseat, in Swaledale, North Yorkshire.

Raven is the oldest of the children, followed by Reuben, 18, Miles, 16, Edith, 14, Violet, 12, Sidney, 11, Annas, nine, Clemmy, seven, and Nancy, six.

As well as working at the 2,000-acre farm, Raven – who just celebrated turning 22 – started to carve out a career away from the spotlight, revealing last November that she had earned First Class Honours in her biology degree. 

Since returning to Ravenseat, she has been sharing her adventures on Instagram, showing she is still involved with much of the work at the farm.

In February, mother Amanda revealed that Raven was helping with the animals and preparing for lambing season.

Amanda said everyone was being ‘hands-on’, preparing the pens and scanning the ewes.

When she’s not working, the 22-year-old appears to enjoy a busy social life, and like many people her age shares photos on Instagram.

Among the pictures she has shared with her almost 40,000 followers, are ones of her and friends enjoying evenings out.

She also sometimes shares images of the outfits she picks to go out in, including a recent fancy dress ensemble complete with Viking-style hat. 

Another topic Raven has discussed on social media is her psoriasis, sharing with followers that she recently experienced a flare-up of the skin condition, which causes red, flaky patches.

Holding her arms up to the camera, she showed how she had red patches of skin in one photo, in an image which no doubt helped spread awareness of the condition among her followers. 

Raven recently took to the social media platform to hit back at trolls, who have cruel comments on some of her photos.

Earlier this week, she shared an Instagram story, which showed some of the mean messages she has received.

Among them was one branding the 22-year-old a ‘fat moo’.

Another seemingly referenced recent reports that Amanda is inseparable from her boyfriend married businessman, Robert Davies, 71, with whom she has reportedly been having an affair for several years.

The cruel message said: ‘You are like your mum in more ways than one, leave the married men alone.’

Responding to the trolls, Raven simply wrote: ‘Just a casual reminder that if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.’ 

Amanda and Clive met in 1996 after she arrived at his farm as a 21-year-old trainee shepherdess. He was already divorced with two children.

They married in 2000, but confirmed their split last Summer, and since then, have said they are happily co-parenting.   

The two are now starring in separate shows, Amanda in Channel 4’s Farming Lives, and Clive (alongside son Reuben) in Beyond the Yorkshire Farm on Channel 5, which centres around Reuben’s digging business.

In what came as a surprise to many,  in February, newly-released audience figures revealed that Amanda’s show attracted less than half the viewers of Clive and son Reuben’s Yorkshire Farm spin-off. 

An industry insider described the figures for the first episode of Amanda Owen’s Farming Lives as ‘solid.’

Viewing peaked at 610,000, with 329,000 watching the show live on More 4 when it aired on January 25.

The show topped the ratings for More 4, almost doubling the audience share of the channel’s next most popular airing that week, Grand Designs.

However it was still a long way behind the 1.7m who tuned in to watch Beyond The Yorkshire Farm in December.

A source in the Dales farming community said: ‘This is not what was expected. Amanda is the TV star and Clive is a farmer who somehow ended up on the telly.

‘I don’t think anyone expected his and Reuben’s show to do better of the two, least of all Amanda.’
