Fans who have visited Clarkson's Farm reveal how often they see Jeremy and Lisa at farm shop

Part two of the third season of Clarkson's Farm has finally dropped on Amazon Prime Video, with fans eager to tune back in and see what happens with Jeremy Clarkson and his small team running Diddly Squat Farm.

But the show's return has left fans wondering about one particular aspect when it comes to the farm shop.

Episode four of the third season of Clarkson's Farm ended on a brutal note, with Clarkson and his partner Lisa Hogan having to deal with the loss of more than a dozen newly born piglets.

Clarkson, who revealed he still eats pork despite the tragic deaths, was then left on the verge of tears after having to euthanise one of his sick pigs, Baroness, after she fell ill during pregnancy.

It was an end to a rather brutal first half of the season which also revealed lovable farmhand Gerald Cooper had been diagnosed with cancer.

Other matters discussed in the first half of the show was the licence for Diddly Squat Farm Shop, which under the rules set out by West Oxfordshire District Council, can only sell goods that has links to being produced within a 16 mile radius of the farm.

The problem is that Clarkson finds Hogan is bending the rules a little when it comes to this. Despite having an absolute tonne of local goods, there are a few items being sold that risk the future of the farm shop if they were to have a random inspection.

But the filming in the farm shop has got people asking the same question over on Reddit.

Posting on the Clarkson's Farm subreddit feed, one user asked about how often Clarkson and Hogan are actually seen working in the farm shop, what with it now becoming a fully fledged Cotswolds tourism attraction in its own right.

They posted: "So every time the show is in the farm shop there is never anyone there and Lisa is always at the counter.

"I'm assuming they close for filming?

"Does Lisa actually work in the shop, does Jeremy / Kaleb actually work the farm or do they just show up for filming and don't here own stuff when the cameras aren't around? Just curious."

Replying, one farm visitor said: "I've been three times (Saturdays x2 and Sunday x1) and never seen them, or Kaleb. I did see Gerald buying a paper in the Chadlington shop / cafe about three weeks ago."

Another said: "I didn't see Jeremy, Lisa, Kaleb, or Gerald at all during my one and only visit... but I also wasn't really expecting to see anybody. I was just happy to visit!"

And a third wrote: "I saw Jeremy and I assume some builders / surveyors looking at the barn area where the Hawkstone beer is served last summer, and my partner said Lisa was in the shop when she went round (we had gone in earlier and she wasn’t there).

"I think they were both there for about 20 minutes then left but it was late in the day. Not seen Kaleb sadly."

Other people who had visited the farm were a bit more level-headed about bumping in to the stars of the show, given the two main stars - Clarkson and Kaleb - have other business ventures they embark on.

Kaleb runs his own contracting business and has just finished a UK tour about farming while Clarkson has recently been filming the last ever outing of The Grand Tour for Prime Video.

"The farm is huge by English standards. Kaleb works on the farm but he also works at several other farms," one said.

"Jeremy also works the farm but he is still also a TV presenter. They probably don't personally visit the shop very often because it has its own staff and they have busy lives."

Another wrote: "My best guess is Lisa's probably there quite a bit but they have other employees to run the shop while she's away. Jeremy and Kaleb have secondary jobs too. Jeremy is a TV presenter and journalist, and Kaleb has a contracting business too on other farms."

And someone else was pretty open about what people should expect in reality, saying: "It reads clear to me that Jeremy isn’t a farmer 365 days a year. Watching him drive around the Sahara in Jag for two weeks proves that alone, and in season three he specifically mentions leaving to go shoot on location.

"Lisa I see some who say she was there when they were so I imagine that she takes the shop seriously. But like the farm they have other employees. And I don’t see anything wrong with that as I don’t feel they’ve ever tried to sell it differently. The whole farm operation is pretty large."

It's safe to say people visiting Diddly Squat Farm Shop should probably remember Clarkson's Farm is still still a TV show despite being a documentary, and those starring in it have more going on that turning up for your fleeting visit.
