This third visit begins as the Owen family bid farewell to eldest daughter Raven who's off to university. 4-year-old Clemmy is about to start school. The family have to pull together after hip surgery prevents Clive from working.
The Owens prepare for one of the most intense periods of the year, the breeding season. With Clive recovering from hip surgery and Raven away at university, Amanda and the children face a particularly demanding set of challenges.
It is Christmas time on Ravenseat Farm, and all nine children are home for the holidays. Four-year-old Clemmy has her hands full nursing a premature calf. Clive has rigged up an ancient contraption to cook the festive roast.
Inspired by the discovery that the farm is over 700 years old, Edith and Violet search an old barn for signs of life left behind by previous shepherding families. Clemmy helps Amanda treat an ewe with a nasty ailment.
This week the family battle through two brutal winter storms. While they fight the elements to feed the flock, mum Amanda is powerless to stop the only livestock trailer being washed away down the swollen river.
The family tackles life in lockdown, just as lambing season gets into full swing. The film crew aren't allowed on the farm so Amanda uses her phone to film a video diary - ably assisted by the children.
