Jeremy Clarkson, the beloved star of Clarkson’s Farm, has delighted fans with exciting news about his popular Diddly Squat farm shop. Posting on the official Instagram account, Jeremy announced that due to overwhelming demand, the farm shop will remain open throughout January and February.
The announcement was shared alongside a striking photo captioned “We have an announcement,” accompanied by the message: “Due to high demand, we’ve decided to keep the farm shop open in January and February.” This short statement quickly sparked a flood of supportive and enthusiastic responses from followers.
One fan expressed their excitement, commenting, “This is great news.” Another shared their disappointment at missing out in December but looked forward to returning soon: “That is great news, because I really wanna come and visit again, I’m not gonna get any chance in December unfortunately.”

Many praised the hard work behind the scenes, with one follower writing, “Well done, for all the farmers that provide and your staff,” and another adding, “You all work so hard…..you deserve every success xxx.” Some even revealed personal plans: “That’s great news as I want to bring my daughter for her birthday in February.”
Jeremy and his partner, Lisa Hogan, frequently keep fans up to date, with Lisa often leading communications on their business channels. Beyond the shop, Jeremy recently shared his mission to boost the bird population on his Chipping Norton farm in his Sunday Times magazine column.
Reflecting on the declining numbers since 1970, he wrote, “Since 1970 their numbers have plummeted by more than 60 per cent, and when I first bought Diddly Squat this sorry state of affairs was obvious. I’d go for a walk, and the skies were completely empty.”
Determined to reverse this decline, Jeremy explained that since he began farming seven years ago, he has taken measures such as widening field margins and reducing hedge trimming to foster a better natural habitat. While regular farming regulations require a 4 to 6 metre buffer zone around fields, Jeremy has extended this to 10 metres in certain areas, even if it means sacrificing some food production. His commitment underlines a genuine effort to support wildlife and sustainable farming practices on his estate.
