Harriet Cowan, the newest sensation to hit Clarkson’s Farm, is winning hearts and followers alike with her engaging presence and undeniable charm. The 24-year-old nurse turned farmhand just made her debut on the popular Amazon Prime Video series, stepping in to assist Jeremy Clarkson as Kaleb Cooper took a break for his UK tour. Viewers quickly fell for Harriet’s spirit, rallying around her as she showcased her life on the farm, proving that “girly girls†can indeed dominate the world of tractors and livestock.
Despite her brief time on the show  thanks to Kaleb’s triumphant return  Harriet’s authenticity resonated widely, leading to a surge in her online following. Recently, she shared a TikTok clip capturing a moment of tractor tedding across hay, which received an outpouring of support from fans. One commenter quipped, “Sneezing just watching. Don’t know how you cope when it’s warm.†Another chimed in, “Harriet, in the clumsiest of times you’re a breath of fresh air,†while a third encouraged her by saying, “Keep doing what you do…you’re an inspiration for many.â€Â
After graduating from the University of Derby with a nursing degree earlier this year, Harriet took a bold turn by diving into farming. Her TikTok journey has skyrocketed her to fame, amassing an incredible 700,000 followers and 2.7 million likes on her content. The acclaim she’s received following her appearance on Clarkson’s Farm has left her awestruck. “It’s insane,†she remarked, expressing boundless gratitude for the attention and support. With ambitions to expand her reach, Harriet hinted at launching a YouTube channel alongside her partner, James, to document their farming adventures.
In her recent videos, Harriet engaged with her followers, asking if they would be interested in her YouTube venture. She emphasized that both she and James are third-generation farmers, showcasing how deeply rooted farming is in their family history. But Harriet’s mission extends beyond sharing cute animal videos and farming techniques; she’s also passionate about highlighting mental health issues within the agricultural community. In a candid discussion with BBC Derby, she voiced her struggles with isolation, stating, “It’s lonely; although you have all these animals around you, you don’t have anyone to talk to. If I can do anything, I’m gonna use the platform to sort of promote the mental health aspect in farming and if I can save one life, it’s something.â€Â
