Kaleb Cooper Steps Into the Spotlight With New Business and Global Ambitions
For years, Kaleb Cooper has been known as the quick-witted, tractor-loving sidekick on Clarkson’s Farm. But now, the young farmer from Chipping Norton is stepping firmly into the limelight — launching his own meat business, building a clothing brand, and filming a brand-new Prime Video series in Australia.
At just 26, Kaleb is proving that life after Diddly Squat can be every bit as busy as life on it.
Building a Brand, One Steak at a Time
Kaleb’s latest project brings a taste of the Cotswolds straight to the dinner table.
His new business sells British-sourced meat, from succulent fillet steaks and lamb shoulders to hearty BBQ boxes designed for family feasts.
On his website, he sums up the mission simply:
“From BBQ favourites to Sunday roasts, we bring the best of the countryside to your kitchen.”
The range also includes 1kg beef brisket (£7.50), 8oz fillet steak (£17.60), and lamb and mint burgers (£5.50) — all promising the quality one might expect from a man who lives and breathes farming.
More Than Meat: The Making of a Modern Farmer
It’s not just about what’s on the plate.
Kaleb has branched into branded merchandise, offering hoodies, rugby shorts and shirts priced between £32 and £60.
An industry insider told The Sun:
“Kaleb’s become a genuine star — and Jeremy couldn’t be prouder. He’s built something that feels authentic, hardworking, and completely him.”
The move puts Kaleb among a growing group of modern farmers who combine old-fashioned grit with new-age entrepreneurship.
Down Under and Out of His Comfort Zone
Perhaps the biggest change, though, is geographical.
Kaleb is currently filming “Kaleb: Down Under”, a four-part Prime Video series that follows his journey to Australia — his first time venturing outside the UK.
The show will see him learning how to adapt to the country’s tough farming conditions, meet new crews, and discover whether his farming contracting business can succeed on foreign soil.
Announcing the news online, he confessed:
“Flying to Australia is definitely taking me out of my comfort zone.
I’m on a mission to see if I can make my farming contracting business international.
First, I’ve got to get through the flight!”
Clarkson’s Classic Comeback
Of course, no Kaleb announcement would be complete without a trademark Jeremy Clarkson quip.
When Kaleb revealed his big news, Clarkson commented online:
“I’m so happy about this. Because finally I can run my farm without him mucking everything up.”
Fans loved it — the post quickly racked up more than 50,000 likes, with many joking that Clarkson would secretly miss his fiery young protégé.
Family, Fame, and the Future
Amid all the excitement, Kaleb is also settling into life as a father of three.
He and fiancée Taya welcomed their new baby son, Ashton, in August, joining siblings Oscar (4) and Willa (2).
Between sleepless nights, long flights, and the pressures of running a business, Kaleb shows no signs of slowing down.
He may have started as Jeremy Clarkson’s apprentice, but with a booming brand, a growing family, and a global TV series on the horizon, Kaleb Cooper is now firmly ploughing his own path — and Britain’s favourite young farmer is only just getting started.
