Clarkson’s Farm star Jeremy Clarkson excited fans with his announcement
Jeremy Clarkson, the star of Clarkson’s Farm, has shared some thrilling news about his Diddly Squat farm shop. Via its official Instagram account, Jeremy revealed that due to popular demand, the farm shop will remain open in January and February.
Accompanied by a photo stating “We have an announcement”, the post read: “Due to high demand, we’ve decided to keep the farm shop open in January and February.”
Fans were quick to express their delight in the comments section, with one saying, “This is great news.”
Another chimed in: “That is great news, because I really wanna come and visit again, I’m not gonna get any chance in December unfortunately.”
A third supporter praised: “Well done, for all the farmers that provide and your staff,” reports the Mirror.
Another follower added: “You all work so hard…..you deserve every success xxx.”
One fan was particularly pleased, noting: “That’s great news as I want to bring my daughter for her birthday in February.”
Jeremy and his partner, Lisa Hogan, regularly update their followers, with Lisa typically spearheading posts on their business pages. However, in his column for the Sunday Times magazine, Jeremy expressed his ambition to increase bird populations at his Chipping Norton farm.
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.
“This made me sad, so when I started farming the land seven years ago, I decided to do something about it. Away from the roads, I stopped trimming the hedges and widened the margins around the edges of the fields.”
The Grand Tour presenter explained that whilst farmers must maintain buffer zones of between four and six metres around field perimeters, he opted to extend these to 10 metres in certain areas to encourage wildlife, despite the impact on crop yields.
