WITH potatoes 'cheaper than Aldi' and apple juice without the 'rubbish', it no wonder hundreds of 'adoring fans' flocked to Jeremy Clarkson's new farm shop for the grand opening today.
Pictures shared on Twitter by Sayyora Kingston showed the TV presenter-turned-farmer mingling with locals as they took sips of their apple juice made at his Diddly Squat Farm.
Mr Clarkson opened the shop today to start selling his produce from the farm after he was given the green-light from the council in November.

It's located just off Chipping Norton Road near Chadlington, in West Oxfordshire.
He promised he would be there in person on his Twitter yesterday, after making the shock announcement that the shop would be meat-free, unheated and only sell things that he had grown.
He said: "My farm shop opens tomorrow afternoon. Twitter friendly as it's unheated and meat free.
"Do drop in if you're in the Chipping Norton area."

Sayyora Kingston who was stuck in the queues of traffic waiting to get in said it had been a great day out with her family, and she was excited to eat the eggs and potatoes hand-grown by Mr Clarkson.
She added: "It was definitely busy out there and muddy About 100 people there when I left."
Another Twitter user said she felt 'smug' after getting in first.
