Rethinking farming: mental health, loneliness, and breaking boundaries… with Clarkson’s Farm’s Harriet

Harriet Cowan is not your stereotypical farmer.

British farmers are under pressure and are often misunderstood. Harriet is making it her mission to change our perception of farmers and farming. Not only does this woman run two farms with her boyfriend - she also works five days a week as a nurse - we're pretty sure she's one of the hardest working people in the country.

She came in to tell us all about the fascinating, relentless farming industry - what it means to take over a family farm, the pressures she and other farmers are under and the mental health impact of loneliness amongst farmers.

We had a lot to learn from Harriet - she’s an incredibly passionate, driven woman - and she taught us so much about this vital industry.
