About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Welcome to Jeremy's farm. It's an idyllic spot, offering picturesque views across the Cotswolds, bustling hedgerows, woodlands and natural springs. Jeremy always liked the idea of being a farmer. But, while he was barrelling around the world having more fun with cars than was entirely reasonable, it seemed obvious that the actual, you know, farming was much better left to someone else.

Then one day he decided he would do the farming himself.

After all, how hard could it be?

Well...

Faced with suffocating red tape, biblical weather, local objections, a global pandemic and his own frankly staggering ignorance of how to 'do farming', Jeremy soon realises that turning the farm around is going to take more than splashing out on a massive tractor.

Fortunately, there's help at hand from a large and (mostly) willing team, including girlfriend Lisa, Kaleb the tractor driver, cheerful Charlie, Ellen the shepherd and Gerald, his head of security and dry stone waller. Between them they enthusiastically cultivate crops, rear livestock and hens, keep bees, bottle spring water and open a farm shop. But profits remain elusive.

And yet, while the farm may be called Diddly Squat for good reason, Jeremy soon begins to understand that it's worth a whole lot more to him than pounds, shillings and pence....

Very Entertaining

If you’ve watched his show, this will be a nice complement. Though it’s only 2.5hr, I wish it could be longer.

Absolutely brilliant

If you like Jeremy Clarkson then you will love this. Absolute perfection. Jeremy narrated just like he does on TV. Amusing, educational and interesting. I was very disappointed when I came to the end.

Love that Jeremy narrates the book himself - who doesn’t love his accent !

Can’t wait for more. Its real life struggles with facts. Learning as you go. Fascinating facts that the average person wouldn’t know. I learned so much not only from his show but this as well. The struggle of a farmer just trying to make it plus with his comedic comments make this a great listen !!

A damn good book about his foray in to farming.

I loved that his foray in to farming and new found passion for it. Raised the unsung heroes of the British farming industry in to the spotlight and public consideration.
