Jeremy Clarkson, the 65-year-old former Top Gear presenter, made headlines when he purchased Diddly Squat farm in Chadlington, near Chipping Norton, in 2008. Since then, he and his partner, Lisa Hogan, have transformed the farm into a popular destination, attracting visitors from all over. In 2020, they opened the farm shop in the picturesque Cotswolds, which quickly became a favorite spot for tourists looking for local produce and a taste of Clarkson’s quirky rural life.
Their farming adventures have been documented in the hit Amazon Prime TV series Clarkson’s Farm, which has now gained a loyal following over the course of five seasons. Fans of the show have been treated to Clarkson’s humorous and often challenging journey as he navigates the complexities of farming, something he never expected to do, let alone enjoy.
In a recent update posted on the shop’s Facebook page, it was announced that the main farm shop will be closed from March 16 to 24 for some exciting changes and improvements. The message reads: “We’ll be making a few changes to the shop over the next week, so our usual farm shop will be closed from Monday 16th to Tuesday 24th March. But don’t worry, for those still planning a visit, we’ve set up a temporary shop in the lambing barn, just around the back of the usual shop. It won’t be the full Diddly experience, but you’ll still be able to grab a few things while you’re here.”
For those hoping to enjoy the complete farm shop experience, the team recommends visiting after March 25th. Despite the temporary changes, the farm shop is still offering a glimpse of the quirky charm that has made Diddly Squat farm so beloved by fans.
Jeremy Clarkson is widely known for his roles in the hit motoring shows Top Gear and The Grand Tour, where he shared the screen with co-presenters James May and Richard Hammond. But his adventures on the farm, captured through Clarkson’s Farm, have taken him on an entirely different journey—one that’s captured the hearts of audiences and provided a hilarious look into the unpredictable world of farming.
