Kaleb Cooper Shares Secrets of Farming Life and His Rise to Stardom on Clarkson’s Farm

Kaleb Cooper, the breakout star of Clarkson’s Farm, has charmed fans with his straightforward humor, candid exchanges with Jeremy Clarkson, and undeniable farming expertise, reported by Wales Online. At just 26, Kaleb’s journey from a small-town farmer to a national sensation embodies his deep-rooted passion for agriculture and his determination to spotlight the importance of farming.

Born and raised in Chipping Norton, Kaleb began his farming career in his teens, working on local farms before being recruited as a tractor driver for Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire. Despite his fame, Kaleb once admitted he had never left his hometown until venturing to London to sell farm produce. Now, he’s traveled nationwide with The World According to Kaleb, sharing stories of farm life, countryside traditions, and working alongside Jeremy Clarkson.

The highlight of his national tour—a performance filmed at the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham—is set to stream on Prime Video starting November 29, according to the Express. The special captures Kaleb’s trademark wit and perspectives on everything from sheep to the joys and struggles of British farming.

Kaleb’s entrepreneurial success extends beyond television. His company, Kaleb Cooper Productions, saw assets nearly double from £122,000 to £242,000 in the year ending June 2023. Meanwhile, his contracting business also grew, with assets increasing from £52,000 to £96,000. Though his exact earnings from Clarkson’s Farm remain undisclosed, reports suggest he’s building a solid financial foundation.

Kaleb’s achievements are complemented by his ventures into writing. His latest book, It’s a Farming Thing, reflects his passion for agriculture and aims to inspire a broader audience. “Farming gets a lot of negativity,” Kaleb remarked. “I’ve done this book to show how I started in farming… and to highlight how farming is good for me.”

For Kaleb, farming is more than a profession—it’s a way of life. “Farmers wouldn’t be doing what they do if they didn’t love their job,” he explained. His book seeks to bridge the gap between farmers and the general public, sharing the traditions and joys that make the agricultural lifestyle special.

Fans can look forward to more of Kaleb’s humor and heartfelt insights in The World According to Kaleb: On Tour, available globally on Prime Video. The one-hour special captures the spirit of his sold-out 37-performance tour, which received standing ovations and praise from fans and colleagues, including Jeremy Clarkson.

As Kaleb puts it, “Farming is the best job in the world,” and he’s determined to make sure everyone understands why.
