Harriet Cowan, the much-loved nurse-turned-farmhand from Clarkson’s Farm, has delighted fans by sharing rare insights into her relationship with partner James Booth. Since joining the Amazon Prime series this season to support Jeremy Clarkson at Diddly Squat Farm, Harriet quickly won hearts with her enthusiasm and determination to break stereotypes on the farm.
At just 24 years old, Harriet has proven that passion and skill transcend gender, confidently operating tractors and caring for animals alongside her male colleagues. Despite her brief appearance on the show—cut short by the return of fellow fan-favourite Kaleb Cooper—she continues to engage a growing audience through her social media presence, where her videos have garnered millions of views.
On June 19, Harriet shared an intimate glimpse into her personal life by posting a loving photo of herself with James Booth, alongside a nostalgic picture from when they were just 18. Their heartfelt caption read: “From party teenagers in 2018, to mid-to-late 20s in 2025 and like to be in bed before 10. I hope I get to this life with you forever.”

Harriet and James’s story began at a Young Farmer’s meeting, a community group that Harriet credits with shaping her life. James, believed to be four years her senior and a third-generation farmer, frequently appears in her posts, including a charming video of him driving a tractor. Highlighting the serendipity of their meeting, Harriet reflected on social media: “The ‘butterfly effect’ is crazy because if I didn’t join young farmers we’d of never of met. YFC gave me my whole life and for that I will be forever grateful!” She also encourages others to get involved with community groups to meet incredible people.
Fans have been overwhelmingly supportive and excited to see Harriet and James together. Comments like “Wishing you both eternal happiness” and “You two are so cute” underline the affection viewers have for the couple. Some eagerly voiced hopes for an engagement, asking, “Buddy needs to put a ring on your finger” and “When’s the wedding?”
Beyond her relationship, Harriet is forging her own path in the farming world. She recently launched Cowan Contracting, a family-run business based in Belper, Derbyshire, promoting women in agriculture. Her Instagram announcement introduced the company with photos of vibrant red tractors and shared behind-the-scenes moments with her father, highlighting the family nature of the venture.
Harriet’s fans on social media also express strong support for her return to Diddly Squat Farm, praising her hard work and positive energy. With Clarkson’s Farm season 4 currently streaming on Amazon Prime, viewers eagerly await more appearances from this inspiring young farmhand.
