Harriet Cowan, the nurse-turned-farmhand from Clarkson’s Farm, found herself at the center of an amusing social media misunderstanding recently. The incident stemmed from an innocent typo in an Instagram story promoting CountryMoos socks. Instead of encouraging fans to “use her code for 10% off,” the message mistakenly implied she was selling “used” socks.
Although she later deleted the original post, Harriet quickly took to social media to clear up the confusion. “My story from this morning—I’m not selling used socks. I really need to start checking and spell-checking,” she confessed, explaining she meant “use” her discount code, not that the socks were second-hand. She joked, “Who the frick wants my smelly socks?” noting that she spends her days in boots on the farm, which presumably ensures the socks have a distinct scent.
Harriet wrapped up her clarification with a lighthearted reminder: “No, you can’t buy used socks.”

This playful moment came shortly after Harriet shared a heartwarming before-and-after photo with her long-term partner, James Booth, on TikTok. The pair, who met in 2018 at a Young Farmers' Meeting, lounged in a Jacuzzi in a recent snapshot, marking their journey from carefree teenagers to content adults. The video struck a chord, garnering nearly 10,000 likes as fans showered the couple with well wishes.
On Clarkson’s Farm, Harriet quickly became a fan favorite for her enthusiasm and determination, demonstrating that women can expertly manage tractors and livestock alongside their male counterparts. Although her stint was brief—paused when fellow farmhand Kaleb Cooper returned—Harriet remains a popular figure on social media, where her engaging posts attract millions of views.
Apart from farming, Harriet credits Young Farmers' Clubs for much of her personal and professional growth. She encourages others to join such community groups, highlighting the meaningful connections they foster.
Meanwhile, on the show, Harriet’s emotional farewell to Jeremy Clarkson touched many viewers. Clarkson himself praised her impact by saying, “You saved my life. So, if we get stuck again, can we give you a call?” Their warm exchange underscored the genuine bonds formed through their shared farming journey.
