Raven Owen’s life now after Channel 5 Our Yorkshire Farm

The eldest of Amanda and Clive Owen’s nine children became a familiar face to millions through Channel 5’s Our Yorkshire Farm.

Viewers watched Raven and her eight younger siblings grow up on the family’s remote 2,000-acre hill farm in Upper Swaledale.

Some of the Owen children followed their parents into farming, but Raven left the Dales to study and build a career in science.

But Raven has not left Ravenseat behind, returning to the farm and appearing on television with her family.

What does Raven Owen do now?

Raven studied biomedical science at York St John University and graduated with first-class honours in 2022.

She then completed a master’s degree in biomedical science.

Her postgraduate research focused on oncology and improving chemotherapy drugs, while her professional biography says she hopes to study for a PhD.

After university, Raven began a career in science.

Her talent agency describes her as an assistant scientist at DEFRA after she completed her master’s degree.

But Raven’s public professional profile gives a more recent picture, listing Normec DETS and previous analytical chemistry work at Fera Science Ltd.

The profile lists experience in chemical residue analysis, mass spectrometry and LC-MS techniques.

It is a world away from lambing sheep on the remote farm where she grew up.

Did Raven leave Ravenseat?

Raven left daily farm life at Ravenseat to study and build a career in science.

But she has never completely cut ties with the farm.

Her professional biography says she continues to regularly help at the family’s 2,000-acre farm when she is away from the laboratory.

Growing up at Ravenseat helped spark Raven’s interest in biology and science, giving her hands-on experience of lambing, milking cows and vaccinating sheep from an early age.

She has also continued to appear on television with her family.

Is Raven in Our Farm Next Door?

Raven has appeared in the family’s More4 series Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids, despite no longer living the daily farm life at Ravenseat.

During one appearance, Raven reflected on life away from the farm and suggested the countryside could draw her back one day.

She said she could see herself returning after having her “city time”.

Clive called his eldest daughter a “Ravenseater” and said the farm would always be part of her life.

Raven has also taken an interest in the family’s restoration of Anty John’s, the derelict farmhouse at the centre of Our Farm Next Door.

After seeing the progress, she said she wanted to help Amanda with the interior.

How old is Raven Owen?

Raven is Amanda and Clive Owen’s eldest child.

Her younger siblings are Reuben, Miles, Edith, Violet, Sidney, Annas, Clementine and Nancy.

As the eldest child, Raven was already shouldering major responsibilities at Ravenseat when Our Yorkshire Farm made the family television stars.

Since then, the Owen children have begun taking increasingly different paths into adulthood.

Reuben runs a groundwork and machinery business and has his own Channel 5 television career, while Miles now works full-time in farming and splits his time between Ravenseat and Reuben’s business.

Raven has instead taken the academic route into science.

Will Raven Owen return to Ravenseat?

Raven has not announced plans to return permanently to Ravenseat.

But her comments on Our Farm Next Door suggest she has not ruled out returning to the countryside one day.

Despite building a life and career away from Upper Swaledale, she remains closely linked to the farm.
