Lisa Hogan, partner of Jeremy Clarkson and a key figure on Clarkson’s Farm, has shared a candid look at the hurdles and highlights awaiting fans in the upcoming fifth season. The 52-year-old Dublin-born former actress and model spoke about improvements on the farm, ongoing challenges, and fresh additions viewers can expect, as reported by the Express.
Lisa revealed, “We’re constantly improving lots of little things in the farm shop. Car parking remains an ongoing challenge, and I’m really hoping we get the go-ahead from the council to make that permanent.” This highlights the practical demands of running the increasingly popular farm shop alongside the show.
She also teased new projects set to appear this season: “I’ve had my eye on Valais Blacknose sheep for a while, so it was a real thrill when I found an excellent breeder, and they arrived.” Additionally, she touched on an unusual venture involving snails: “On the snail front, I’m a big fan of snail face cream, so that was the original idea. Of course, Jeremy then had other plans for them.”

The farm’s story continues to unfold with Jeremy Clarkson himself facing recent health challenges. A dramatic preview for series five shows the 66-year-old presenter in hospital following cardiac surgery, receiving medical advice to rest and adjust his diet. However, despite this, Clarkson ignored the advice to attend a demonstration in London against government policies impacting farmers.
Lisa shared insights into Jeremy’s recovery, saying, “Jeremy was advised to rest for a couple of weeks, and that lasted about a day and a half. He still absolutely refuses to eat cottage cheese.”
Clarkson’s Farm season five will consist of eight episodes released in stages on Prime Video: the first four episodes on 3 June, episodes five and six on 10 June, and the final two episodes on 17 June.
Reflecting on the show’s impact, Jeremy Clarkson said, “I like to think Clarkson’s Farm has altered the way people think about farming. I think more people now appreciate just how difficult it is and just how badly paid it is. For that reason alone, I think the programme has been a good thing.”
He also noted the show’s engagement with wider farming issues: “Obviously, things like the government budget have fed into that wider conversation across UK farming, and Clarkson’s Farm reflects that.”
Clarkson’s Farm season five promises to deliver both heartfelt stories and candid insights into modern farming life when it premieres on Prime Video this June.
