Britain’s oldest farming couple Mr and Mrs Green’s life away from Yorkshire Vet

The Yorkshire Vet fans are eager to know about Mr and Mrs Green’s lives away from the cameras. Channel 5 hit docu-series The Yorkshire Vet returns for its new series this evening, Thursday, August 13, at 8pm, with Peter Wright opening up on his new passion project.

Ahead of its debut, it was confirmed that Britain’s oldest working farming couple Steve and Jean Green would feature tonight, much to viewers’ delight. So ahead of them returning to our screens on The Yorkshire Vet, here’s everything there is to know about the beloved Mr and Mrs Green.

Mr and Mrs Green's ages

Steve Green, who is widely recognised as one of the country’s oldest working farmers, is 97-year-old, with his 91st birthday celebrations marked on The Yorkshire Vet in 2020.

Meanwhile, his wife Jean Green, known for her slogan T-shirts and sassy comments, is 74-years-old but will be turning the milestone age of 75 in September.

How did Mr and Mrs Green meet?

Mr and Mrs Green, who have a 23-year age gap between them, have been married for more than four decades.

Their paths first crossed when Steve hired Jean’s brother for a farming job and three months later, the couple got married.

Fast forward to today and their connection is as strong as ever with Mr and Mrs Green renewing their wedding vows in 2020.
Shown on The Yorkshire Vet, Steve told his wife: “Ever since we met 40 years ago you’ve made me the happiest man in the world. You mean everything.”

While she replied: “When I set eyes on you it was such a magical moment. I will love you forever.”

Mr and Mrs Green’s daughter

Mr and Mrs Green have one rarely-seen daughter called Sarah Green who prefers to keep out of the spotlight.

However, she has previously featured on her parents’ show At Home with the Greens, documenting their life on the farm during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.

On her X profile, Sarah describes herself as a “proud farmer’s daughter”.

Mr and Mrs Green’s show update

After making quite the impression on The Yorkshire Vet, the couple were given the green light for their own series, At Home with the Greens in 2024.

Fans had been eagerly awaiting to find out if there would be a third series which has since been confirmed by Channel 5.

The Yorkshire Vet’s Facebook page has now also shared that they’ve been hard at work filming this upcoming series, although no details regarding a start date have come out.

The Yorkshire Vet is available to watch on Channel 5 and 5.
