Jeremy Clarkson issues ‘polite reminder’ as he shuts farm shop for two months

It's come as a blow to some

Jeremy Clarkson and his Diddly Squat team have issued a statement after shutting the famous farm shop until the end of February.

The two month closure was confirmed by Clarkson's team via social media posts and over on the shop's official website.

No reason has been given for the closure at this stage, with only a short statement issued to the public.

Diddly Squat Farm Shop has become an incredibly popular destination ever since being created on the critically-acclaimed Amazon Prime Video documentary series, Clarkson's Farm.

It became one of the first major controversial storylines on the show as we followed Clarkson in his battle against West Oxfordshire District Council as the Yorkshireman combined his comedic approach with real issues surrounding development and life in the agricultural industry.

He eventually won the planning battle, with the farm shop blueprints approved by councillors alongside plans for a lambing shed and barn.

"We do not want to see the farm shop close and we were pleased to see all the local produce being sold there from local suppliers," the council said at the time in a statement on the issue.

Since becoming a permanent fixture in the Cotswolds, the site has become inundated with visitors queueing hours to get inside the shop and buy local produce - with many of the goods made from Jezza's own produce.

Now, those planning to head to the farm shop have been told not to turn up as it'll be closed until the spring.

"Polite reminder," a post on the Diddly Squat Farm Shop Facebook page reads. "Diddly Squat Farm Shop is closed throughout January and February."

The message adds: "The farm shop will reopen on Saturday, March 1 2025. This closure is normal and has been the case in previous years.

"You can still shop Diddly Squat products at The Farmer’s Dog pub which is back open as usual now."

The pub is a 20 minute drive away from the farm shop with its pop up shop open 10am to 4pm, Wednesday to Friday, and 9.30am to 4.30pm on weekends.

Last year the farm shop closed for the same period of time, saying then it was 'currently hibernating' until 1 March, 2024.

This comes after former Top Gear man Clarkson revealed his pub had become the victim of numerous thefts in the run up to Christmas, with more than 100 customers stealing from his Farmer's Dog establishment.

The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire presenter also opened up on the true costs of running a pub in the modern age.

This was after he had admitted the business venture had been a 'total disaster' with himself saying he had acted 'naively'.
