Why We Absolutely Love Clarkson’s Farm
Spoiler: It’s not just about the tractors.
If you’ve watched Clarkson’s Farm, you already know—it’s not just a show. It’s a mood. It’s a lifestyle. It’s a chaotic love letter to farming and everything that comes with it: the weather, the weeds, the wins, the money pits, and yes, the machines.
We didn’t expect to love it this much. And we definitely didn’t expect Jeremy Clarkson, known for his high-octane antics on Top Gear, to become one of the most relatable farmers on TV. But here we are, cheering for sheep, rooting against bureaucracy, and laughing our way through every hard-learned lesson.
Here’s why Clarkson’s Farm hits home:
It’s real.
Farming isn’t glamorous. The show doesn’t pretend it is. It’s muddy. It’s frustrating. Things break. Plans flop. Rain ruins everything. But through all that, there’s pride, hard work, and a connection to the land that feels honest and familiar—especially if you’ve ever dealt with equipment, weather delays, or government red tape.
The cast is gold.
Kaleb Cooper deserves his own fan club. His love for farming, his intolerance for nonsense, and his low-key war against Clarkson’s bad ideas are half the reason we keep watching. Add in Lisa, Gerald (subtitles, anyone?), and Charlie the accountant, and you’ve got a group that feels more like neighbors than actors.
It’s about more than farming.
It’s about trying something new. Taking responsibility. Failing publicly. Learning slowly. There’s humor, sure—but there’s also heart. Watching Clarkson grapple with the realities of land management and the economics of modern farming is unexpectedly emotional.
The gear. The gear. The gear.
Let’s be honest—part of the appeal is the massive Lamborghini tractor. And the mud. And the machinery. And the fencing disasters. For anyone who loves heavy equipment, it’s an added layer of entertainment to watch someone with no real experience try to wrangle real machines. It makes us feel seen.
It’s good for farming.
Clarkson’s Farm has brought attention to the agricultural world in a way that’s engaging and accessible. It’s not romanticized. It’s not dumbed down. It’s just relatable, which helps the general public understand how tough and important the job really is.
Whether you farm for a living or just appreciate the people who do, Clarkson’s Farm is one of those shows that gets better every season. It’s hilarious. It’s heartfelt. And it proves that no matter how many cars you’ve driven or shows you’ve hosted, farming will humble you—and maybe even change you.
So here’s to Jeremy and the whole team. We love the show. We love the farm. And we can’t wait to see what happens next.
