After huge success with Top Gear and The Grand Tour, television presenter and petrolhead Jeremey Clarkson turned his hand to farming and you can watch his journey on the Prime series Clarkson's Farm.
The show follows Clarkson, his partner Lisa and crew of workers/pals as he navigates the challenges of agricultural life, including managing crops, livestock, and the business side of farming. With his characteristic humour and wit, Jeremy encounters various setbacks and learns valuable lessons along the way. The series provides an entertaining and insightful look into the realities of modern farming and the complexities of rural life.
Clarkson's Farm season 4 release date
Jeremy, Lisa, Kaleb, Gerald and Charlie will return (along with some new faces) for series 4 of Clarkson's Farm, which begins with four episodes on Friday, May 23rd. Two more episodes will be released a week later, on the 30th May and the final two on the 6th June.
Prime Video have given us a teaser of what to expect: 'Kaleb is on a nationwide tour, Lisa is working on a new product line, and Jeremy is left to run the farm alone. In Kaleb’s absence, Jeremy must keep Diddly on track and comes up with an idea.
'Previously thwarted in his attempts to open a Farm to Fork restaurant, Jeremy plans to reignite that vision and get back in the council’s good books by drawing crowds away from the farm shop. All he needs to do is buy a pub.'
Clarkson's Farm trailer
The trailer for the new eight-part series of Clarkson's Farm opens with Jeremy saying that he's "absolutely thrilled to bits for Kaleb" as he heads off on his very own tour, but has been left "absolutely, just a little bit, in the lurch". So, as he struggles to juggle work, a new "brilliant" farmhand arrives who even offers to trim his eyebrows!
Elsewhere, Lisa has her hands full with new piglets, one of which Clarkson calls "Richard Hamm" after his friend and former Top Gear co-presenter Richard Hammond, who appears on the show.
Clarkson decides that he wants to buy a rundown pub, to which Lisa jokes that the only things that would make the place better is a wrecking ball.
Has Prince William visited Clarkson's Farm?
Yes, Prince William visited Clarkson's Farm to film a segment about raising awareness of the mental health challenges many farmers face in such an isolating job, highlighting the work of the charity We Are Farming Minds, which he is a patron of.
Clarkson's Farm season 3
Series 3 of Clarkson's Farm premiered on Friday 3rd May, but only with Part 1 (the first 4 episodes). Part 2 was released two weeks later, on the 10th of May, which gave viewers time to savour the show or wait until it was all out and then binge-watch it.
In a bid to use unused farmland, Kaleb and Jeremey had a competition to see who could make the most money from the farm, Jeremy with his alternative farming suggestions that included mushroom powder and pigs and Kaleb with his traditional methods.
"We have a 1,000-acre farm, but since I bought it in 2008, we've only ever farmed 500 acres of it, and the other 500 acres is wildflower meadows, streams, woods and rough ground.", said Jeremey.
"There are no crops growing, no animals, just countryside because the state of farming is so parlous at the moment. I bet Kaleb that I could earn more money from doing little projects on unfarmed land than he could from farming 500 acres."
Jeremy made a total of £27,614 profit, and Kaleb brought in a total of £72,601 for the year, making him the winner of the bet.
Clarkson's Farm cast
Jeremy Clarkson
Clarkson is the owner and presenter of the show, taking us through day-to-day life on the farm and his money-making schemes.
Kaleb Cooper
Farmhand turned farm manger Kaleb (25) carries out many jobs on the farm including selecting, planting, harvesting and maintaining the crops.
Although he's not from a farming background, Kaleb has had a passion for the industry since his school years. He is now an author with three books published, including The World According to Kaleb.
Charlie Ireland
Land agent Charlie Ireland works closely with Jeremy to advise him on how to run a farm and often puts his big ideas into a more realistic perspective.
Lisa Hogan
Lisa Hogan is Jeremy's girlfriend (they've been together since 2017) and she runs the Diddly Squat Shop and helps out with the animals on the farm.
The 50 year old used to be a sculptor and an actress, appearing in the 1997 film 'Fierce Creatures' as a sealion keeper, alongside the likes of John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis and Michael Palin.
Gerald Cooper
Gerald is a drystone wall builder and head of security at Clarkson's Farm. Whilst they have the same surname, he is no relation to his colleague and pal Kaleb Cooper.
In 2023, 73 year old Gerald was diagnosed with prostate cancer but has since got the all-clear.
Harriet Cowan
There's a new face at Clarkson's Farm as Harriet Cowan steps in to take over from Caleb. At just 24 years old, Harriet brings a unique blend of skills to the role, working as both a nurse and a part-time farmer. Her arrival marks a fresh chapter for the farm, combining youthful energy with a strong work ethic and a background in care that could bring a new perspective to the daily challenges of farm life.
She's admitted that she hadn't watched Clarkson’s Farm before joining the show, but that makes her presence more exciting.
Where is Clarkson's farm?
Back in 2008, Jeremy Clarkson purchased Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, Chipping Norton - the heart of the Cotswolds. A local village farmer managed and used the farm to grow crops. It wasn't until the farmer retired in 2019 that Jeremy decided to take over the reins and run the farm full-time.
Address: 5-12 Chipping Norton Road, Chadlington, Chipping Norton, OX7 3PE
The farm's closest city is Oxford, which is a 40 minute car ride away.
Is Diddly Squat Farm open to the public?
Members of the public can visit both the Diddly Squat Farm Shop and The Big View Café, which are open Wednesday - Sunday (9.30am to 4:30pm) and Bank Holidays.
Diddly Squat Farm Shop
The Diddly Squat Farm Shop has free parking and promises to be a ‘Cotswolds-based emporium of edible delights', but with it being so popular, you may have to wait a while to actually get in!
