Channel 4's 'Our Farm Next Door' sensation Amanda Owen has been inundated with fan love after opening up about the show's production on her farm.
The reality hit gives viewers an intimate glimpse into the lives of Amanda, her husband Clive, and their nine children as they tackle the immense project of renovating a beautiful but dilapidated farmhouse in the stunning Yorkshire Dales.
Amanda recently took to social media to express her gratitude and showcase some heartfelt off-camera moments, paying homage to the people working tirelessly behind the scenes.
In her heartfelt message, she expressed, "Whilst on the theme of people behind the scenes involved in the renovation project, it's important to acknowledge the talented folk who create the TV series Our Farm Next Door."
Detailing the ethos behind the series, she mentioned, "Reality appears to be used very loosely in many instances, but we wanted a non-scripted, no scene set up, accurate portrayal of the realities of farming, families, friends complete with the flare ups, feuds and **** ups! *click bait provided*.", reports Gloucestershire Live.
Voicing her appreciation for the unique collaboration, Amanda said, "To be given this opportunity by @channel4 and @wiseowlfilms and to find ourselves working with a dedicated, devoted and it has to be said, fearless team and crew has been brilliant."
She praised the resilience of the crew saying, "Nothing fazes them, be it snow drifts, incessant rain, ten people all talking at the same time, swear words, incoherent mumblings, and constant distractions, they have taken it all in their stride and somehow managed to make sense of it all without going completely mad."
Amanda expressed her appreciation in her message, stating: "They ignored all warnings of what not to work with, children and animals and have made what I reckon to be an aesthetically pleasing, gentle series that represents us, quietly explores the rich heritage of the area and what shaped our countryside.
"All whilst championing the often overlooked craftsmen and farmers who retain the knowledge, skills and understanding that was there long before our generation rebranded it and call it our own. Sustainable, regenerative, self-sufficient, simple living, foods, comforts and a strong work ethic.

"I know that there were many less pleasant aspects and terrible hardships endured, but we are fortunate that we can pick which elements of the past we take away and where we can make improvements. There's one overriding element that jumps out from the diary and that is that some aspects of life never change and it's these human, relatable diary entries that resonate with me the most," according to a report by the Express.
"Thank you's go out to Paul, Jayne, Mark, Rebecca, and Lindsay, and all at @wiseowlfilms @channel4 and ultimately @jocantello1 who has never wavered or wobbled when I most certainly have. Don't worry, this is not an Oscar acceptance, so I'm not going to thank the farm's namesake, Anthony Clarkson."
Amanda's latest post sparked an outpouring of support from fans, who flooded the comments section with words of encouragement and praise. One eager fan exclaimed: "Absolutely loving seeing you all back on our screens," while another gushed about the show: "Well said! It's a brilliant show, love watching you all. ".
One captivated follower cooed, "You have a great way with words, Amanda. I'm absolutely loving this series. I often feel jealous of the wonderful places you live and work in. There is so much history, and you are adding to it with the loving way you are bringing that cottage back to life."
Another fan expressed admiration for the show's visual and educational elements: "Just lovely seeing the changes taking place in Anty Johns. The history element is also fascinating."
