Jeremy Clarkson Eyes New Ventures Ahead of Clarkson’s Farm Premiere.

As the highly anticipated fifth season of Clarkson’s Farm gears up for its premiere on June 3, 2026, Jeremy Clarkson is not just looking to his farm for new challenges — he’s expanding his business empire. The 66-year-old former Top Gear host has transformed his 1,000-acre property, Diddly Squat Farm, into a multi-faceted business, with ventures ranging from a farm shop to a pub, and now he’s eyeing even more exciting opportunities.
Diddly Squat Farm, located in the picturesque West Oxfordshire near Chipping Norton, has already been the focal point of his hit Amazon series Clarkson’s Farm, where viewers have watched Clarkson struggle, learn, and — more often than not — hilariously fail at the realities of farming. However, what started as a comedic attempt to manage a farm has grown into a much larger operation, drawing visitors from across the UK, as Clarkson has used the farm as a base to explore new business ventures.
One of the more successful and visible additions to Diddly Squat Farm has been the farm shop, which has become a local sensation. The Diddly Squat Farm Shop has attracted not only locals but also tourists who travel miles to experience Clarkson’s take on farming. The shop, located at the farm, has become so popular that queues often spill out onto local roads, especially on weekends. This unexpected success has solidified Clarkson’s position as a key player in the local community. In fact, the shop’s success has become so significant that it plays a large part in the storyline of Clarkson’s Farm, offering a humorous yet informative view of what it’s like to turn a farm into a profitable business.
But Clarkson’s ambitions don’t stop there. In 2024, the man famous for his irreverent style on Top Gear turned his attention to a more traditional British pastime — the pub. He purchased The Farmer’s Dog, a historic village pub located in Asthall, near Burford, and completely overhauled it. Rebranded with a new name, the pub serves as a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, offering a selection of local produce, and of course, the signature Hawkstone beer, which Clarkson developed as part of his brewing business.
The pub, like the farm, is a central part of his new ventures, blending Clarkson’s love for good food and drink with his humorous approach to business. As part of the ongoing expansion, he is reportedly working on trademarking a range of products linked to his brand, including Diddly Dunkers, a line of shortbread biscuits that are currently taking off with fans of the farm. This move has sparked speculation that the range could eventually extend to include homeware and clothing, opening up yet another avenue for Clarkson’s growing brand. With his name becoming synonymous with the Diddly Squat brand, it’s clear that Clarkson sees an opportunity to capitalize on the success of his farm beyond just the TV screen.
Further adding to his growing business portfolio, Clarkson’s brewery is looking to make waves with some new drink launches. Among the new products he is working on are beverages like Arrowhead and Firelight, which are expected to be part of his wider range of drinks. Clarkson’s existing beer, Hawkstone Lager, has already made a name for itself in supermarkets across the country, providing a solid base for future beverage ventures. Clarkson’s knack for combining his business ventures with his public persona has turned these projects into more than just a farm or a pub — they’ve become an extension of his brand and his public identity.
As for the upcoming season of Clarkson’s Farm, the premiere on June 3 promises to be just as entertaining, full of the usual farm-related chaos, along with fresh hurdles for Clarkson and his team to overcome. Clarkson’s partnership with trusted colleagues Kaleb Cooper and Lisa Hogan remains a central part of the show, with the trio tackling everything from planting crops to running the farm shop. However, as the farm expands and Clarkson takes on more business ventures, viewers can expect to see more challenges ahead — from the difficulties of dealing with the farm’s financial strain to the complexities of managing a rapidly growing enterprise.
Clarkson’s new ventures are not just about farm life; they are a direct extension of his ever-expanding brand, giving him opportunities to explore new ways to connect with his audience. His ability to transition from a failed farmer to a savvy businessman reflects his versatility and willingness to embrace the unexpected. The move from farming to brewing, from selling shortbread to running a pub, speaks to Clarkson’s entrepreneurial spirit and his constant drive to push boundaries.
As the new season of Clarkson’s Farm approaches, fans are buzzing with excitement over what lies ahead. Will Clarkson’s new ventures bring the kind of success he’s hoping for, or will they fall victim to the same chaos that seems to follow him everywhere? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: Clarkson’s entrepreneurial journey is far from over, and with each new project, he’s pushing the limits of what’s possible at Diddly Squat Farm.
With the farm, the pub, the biscuits, and now new drinks on the horizon, it’s clear that Jeremy Clarkson is aiming for something much larger than just a TV show. He’s building a brand that blends farming, entertainment, and business, and the world is watching closely to see how far he can take it. Will Season 5 of Clarkson’s Farm reveal more of this journey? The countdown to June 3 has begun, and fans can’t wait to find out.
