Jeremy Clarkson’s farming series recently introduced fans to Harriet Cowan, the young and hardworking farmhand who has quickly become a standout personality. Known primarily for her dedication on the farm, Harriet recently showcased a different facet of her life when she swapped her usual workwear for a glamorous holiday look on a girls' trip to Spain.
At just 24 years old, Harriet took to Instagram to share throwback photos from the sun-drenched getaway with friends. Far from the muddy fields and wellington boots of her day job, she appeared relaxed and radiant in a blue bikini paired with a trendy bucket hat. Other stylish snapshots showed her in a summery dress, a white crop top, and lilac sliders—perfect poolside attire that highlighted her vibrant social side.
Despite her glamorous holiday look, Harriet’s roots remain firmly planted in agriculture. Raised in Derbyshire and mentored by her father from a young age, she has cultivated a wealth of farming expertise. Her hard work and passion earned her a spot on Clarkson’s Farm’s fourth season, where she is seen as a promising successor to fan favorite Kaleb Cooper at Diddly Squat Farm. Unlike her predecessor, Harriet balances farm life with a flair for adventure and social engagement.

Beyond farming, Harriet is multifaceted—having juggled nursing studies at university alongside her responsibilities on her family’s Swindon farm. By 23, she had graduated, purchased her own home, and steadily advanced in the agriculture sector.
Harriet also commands a strong social media presence, with over 37,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares insights into rural life and farming. Her creativity shone during the pandemic when she spearheaded a viral video for Belper’s Young Farmers, reimagining the popular toilet roll challenge by tossing a loaf of bread to uplift NHS workers.
Fans are already embracing Harriet’s candid, knowledgeable, and down-to-earth personality showcased in the new season of Clarkson’s Farm, which premiered on Amazon Prime on May 23. Many viewers appreciate her fresh perspective and industry expertise, hoping she represents the next generation of farmers well.
Social media is abuzz with praise: one fan called the show “fantastic and funny,” highlighting Harriet as a scene-stealer. Others describe her as “brilliant,” “a breath of fresh air,” and predict a bright future for her both on and off screen.
Harriet Cowan’s journey—and her stylish holiday look—remind us that life on the farm can be both hardworking and glamorous.
