Clive and Amanda face the challenge of make the farm's hay crop in the searing heat of the Summer heatwave, while also entertaining their children during the summer school holidays.
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.
Late summer means it is haymaking time on the farm, but a storm halts the harvest and causes flooding. The family are left in doubt if they will manage to fill their barns with the feed they need for their livestock over winter.
The Owens send their spring lambs up onto the moors. Reuben fixes up a dirt bike for little brother Sid. Amanda returns from Appleby Horse Fair with a surprise.
With Summer here, the family must gather all 1,000 sheep and shear them of their woolly winter coats. Disaster strikes when Amanda and Clive wake up to find their all-important quad-bikes have been stolen.
Spring brings some welcome new arrivals to the farm. 14-year-old Reuben leads his siblings on a rescue mission to find a missing lamb and when Clive skins a dead lamb 3-year-old Clemmy learns about an age-old adoption technique.
The family prepare the sheep for the auction ring. The children are busy baking entries for the village farm show. Clive waits to see if his best sheep will be crowned champion.
It is the Easter holidays and while the children are out of school their lessons on the farm are just beginning. The family learn the highs and lows of lambing, build a dog kennel and save a lamb with a broken leg.
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.
