What to expect from Our Farm Next Door season two
The observational documentary series sees Amanda, Clive and their nine children work alongside a team of local tradespeople to breathe new life into a derelict farmhouse, which is known locally as Anty John's. As they slowly make their ambitious vision a reality, they must tackle changing seasons and elements along the way, whilst also facing the challenges that come with restoring a listed property in a remote location.Â
Viewers praised the opening episode of season two
In season one, viewers watched as Amanda delved into the farmhouse's past and revealed the fascinating part its former owners played in local history.Â
In the opening episode of season two, Clive contemplates a future where he can put his feet up as he recovers from a hip operation.Â

According to Leeds-based production company Wise Owl Films, viewers can expect "the hard work to continue" in season two, as well as "plenty of laughs, balmy sunny days, a winter wonderland, goats in coats and the return of Tony the Pony as we enjoy Summer to Spring in the new series of Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive & Kids."
What has Amanda said about her children's future on the farm?Â
Ahead of series one, Amanda told HELLO! that she and Clive won't be handing anything to their children "on a plate".Â
When asked if she thought the children might take control of the farm one day, the mum-of-nine said: "Maybe. You just don't know what's around the corner. My son Sidney (12) is absolutely hellbent on being a farmer. Miles (16) too, he loves his farming. I just want to be able to facilitate that. I'm not going, 'Here's your farm, get on with it', because that's no lesson learned whatsoever."

She added: "Clive and I will give them opportunities, but we won't hand it to them on a plate."
