They wake up at dawn to look after their dairy calves and to work on their farmland. Mrs. Green said,
““We like the simple life, we get up early and have breakfast then go out and feed the baby animals we have. We come in and light the fire with wood to have a bath. We’re always busy as we have about 50 mouths to feed including 14 and a half cats!”
Jean Green
Down-to-earth Yorkshire farmers Jeanie and Steve have been farming their farmland since they were married more than 40 years ago.
While elaborating on her lifestyle, Mrs. Green said,
“People envy our way of life. We haven’t got much money but we get by on what we’ve got. Money doesn’t interest us at all and we haven’t let stardom go to our heads, You can still take us as you find us. We won’t change I don’t think we could.”

Because of their simplicity, the Greens have been able to stretch their fans worldwide. Their fans often visit them at their farmland in Thirsk just to meet them in person.
Jean Green’s Husband, Steve Green, Was Once Hospitalized
Jean Green was born in a wooden hut next to Mr. Green’s father, Stephen,’s farm. Right after her father joined the Army, she stayed in temporary housing.
At 27, she met Steve, and after three months and 10 days of their first meeting, they married each other at St. Mary’s Church in Thirsk, with afternoon tea for 50 guests in a tea room.
Jean and Steve initially rose to fame when they appeared as regulars on iconic vet Peter Wright’s show, ”The Yorkshire Vet.”
Since then, the farming couple has become very popular amongst The Yorkshire Vet fans.
Their sound farming life was disrupted when Mrs. Green’s husband fell ill in 2015 and was admitted to the hospital for a hernia operation.
After this incident, they decided to sell their farm’s lifeblood dairy herd, which was the most devastating moment for the Green Couple.
Now, the Green couple is starring once again in ”The Yorkshire Vet” spin-off to entertain their fans with their farming journey.
