Scaling farming’s most famous name
Vertex Resourcing Ltd is the exclusively assigned partner for this project and will be managing all applications.
About the Business
Diddly Squat Farm began as a modest 1,000-acre farm and has evolved into one of the most recognised farm shops in the UK. While the agricultural side remains lively and unpredictable, Lisa has been the creative force behind the farm shop, successfully leveraging the attention from Clarkson’s Farm to build a distinctive retail brand.
With a focus on quirky branding, and a commitment to local suppliers, Diddly Squat has grown from a simple on-site shop into a dynamic enterprise, complete with an e-commerce presence, unique merchandise, and exciting plans for the future.
