What’s Clarkson’s Farm Really Like? We Visit Diddly Squat to Find Out!

Welcome back to Life at the Manor!

In today’s video, we’re taking on a BIG comparison—Chavenage Estate vs Clarkson’s Farm!
Em and I dive into what makes our historic estate different from what Jeremy Clarkson is up to at Diddly Squat Farm. From farm sizes to the way each of us runs our operations, we’re pulling no punches in this friendly rivalry.

After exploring the contrast between the two, we head straight to Diddly Squat Farm Shop and Clarkson’s Café to check out what all the hype is about. Is it as chaotic as the man himself? Or is there a method to the madness?

We’ll take you inside the shop, see what they’re offering, and give you our honest review. Then, we head back to Chavenage Estate to reflect on our day and see if we can learn anything from Jeremy’s unconventional farming style.

Will we take inspiration from Clarkson’s Farm? Or will we stick to the old-school traditions of Chavenage? Watch to find out!

Thanks for watching
James & Em
