Amanda Owen has revealed how daughter Edith has revived one of Ravenseat's best-known traditions, joking that the family's success is an "empire built on cups of tea".
Long before millions watched the Owens on Our Yorkshire Farm, Amanda was serving cream teas to walkers passing through their remote Swaledale home.
Ravenseat sits beside the Coast to Coast route, the long-distance trail stretching across northern England, and its isolated location made the farm a welcome stopping point for walkers.
Amanda has previously described thousands of people passing through each year and recalled how offering refreshments to walkers helped introduce outsiders to the family's unusual way of life.
The cream teas later stopped, but they have now returned, with Amanda and former husband Clive's daughter Edith taking charge.
Speaking at Our Farm Next Door: A Behind-the-Scenes Celebration at Everyman Northallerton on September 30, Amanda joked about just how important cups of tea have been to the family's story.

She said: "It's an empire built on cups of tea really, where any good business starts.
"We did cream teas initially on the Coast to Coast run, they stopped but they're back now. Edith is running that with the help of others."
The revived cream teas will also feature in the fourth series of Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids.
Wise Owl Films, the production company behind the programme, has revealed Edith will balance preparing for key exams with taking the reins of the cream tea operation for walkers passing Ravenseat.
Other members of the Owen family are helping too.
Amanda revealed at the same Northallerton event that younger daughter Clemmie had worked on the van – although she jokingly said Edith temporarily "fired" her after Clemmie audibly sighed when a customer asked for a photograph.
But for Amanda, the business represents something more significant than simply bringing refreshments back to Ravenseat.
She said: "It's exciting to see the children getting opportunities.
"We gave Edith the little pop-up serving hatch, and she's made a business out of it."
The cream teas have a long association with Ravenseat and the family's rise to prominence.
Amanda previously told The Guardian that around 16,000 walkers would pass the farm each year and said her eventual media career effectively "began with making cups of tea" for visitors.
Now one of the children those visitors once encountered growing up at the farm is taking the tradition forward herself.
Amanda also compared Edith's fledgling enterprise with the path taken by older brother Reuben.
Reuben's interest in machinery was familiar to viewers of Our Yorkshire Farm, and he has since developed that interest into his own heavy plant and machinery business.
Amanda said: "We gave Reuben an old digger, he's made a business out of it and now works with some of his brothers."
Reuben's working life subsequently became the focus of his own television programme, Reuben: Life in the Dales, following him and friends as they took on jobs around the Yorkshire Dales.
For Amanda, Edith's cream tea venture appears to follow the same philosophy – giving the children something relatively modest and allowing them to decide what to do with it.
And in Edith's case, that has meant bringing back a Ravenseat tradition which existed long before Our Yorkshire Farm made the family famous.
"It's exciting to see the children getting opportunities," Amanda said.
