The Truth About Working at Clarkson’s Farm – Told by the People Who Know Best.
From Farm to Fame: What It’s Really Like to Work for Jeremy Clarkson at Diddly Squat
As Clarkson’s Farm continues filming its highly anticipated Season 5, fans are getting a fresh glimpse into what it’s truly like to work alongside Jeremy Clarkson behind the scenes. And according to the farm staff, the experience is anything but ordinary.
⭐ Life on the Farm with a Celebrity Boss
Jeremy Clarkson, best known for Top Gear and The Grand Tour, purchased Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington back in 2008. More recently, he expanded his ventures by acquiring The Farmer’s Dog pub in nearby Asthall. Despite his fame and sharp-tongued persona on screen, those who work closely with Clarkson describe a different side to the TV star.
On Reddit, one user who participated in filming for Season 4 shared a personal encounter with Jeremy, his partner Lisa Hogan, and beloved farmhand Gerald.
“They’re all lovely,” the user wrote. “Jeremy was just sitting in his usual chair having a cup of tea. He was more than happy to chat—even about scenes from the movie Airplane, oddly enough.”
The fan noted that Clarkson was approachable, engaging, and willing to take a photo despite his packed filming schedule.

Another anonymous staff member previously told the Oxford Mail what it’s like to work during peak weekends at the now world-famous farm shop.
“I’ve been working here for over a year, and I do enjoy it,” they said. “You meet completely different people from all over the world.”
Though Clarkson and his co-star Kaleb Cooper are busy with filming and farm management, they frequently drop in to check on staff well-being.
“Jeremy is really funny,” the staffer added. “But he also takes things seriously when we’re struggling. He makes us feel comfortable—and that makes all the difference.”
