About our best-before dates

We work hard to bring proper British groceries to Canada, but importing food across an ocean is not as tidy as stocking a supermarket shelf down the road.

Some products arrive with long dates. Some arrive with shorter ones. Different products come through the import process with different shelf lives, so the dates are not always as neat or predictable as they would be in a regular Canadian supermarket.

Most online grocery shops do not show best-before dates unless something is getting close. We do it differently.

If you were shopping in our Halifax store, you could pick up the product, turn it over, and check the date before buying. We think our online customers should get that same level of transparency.

That is why we show best-before dates clearly on our products.

What "best before" actually means

A best-before date is about quality — flavour, texture, freshness, and how the product is expected to be at its best.

It is not the same as a "use by" or expiry date, which only appears on certain regulated foods.

For everyday groceries like chocolate, biscuits, crisps, sweets, tea, sauces, jams, and pantry items, the best-before date is a quality marker, not a safety marker.

Why our dates vary so much

British imports are unpredictable. We do not get to choose every date that arrives in Canada, and different products naturally come with different shelf lives.

A jar of sauce may have months or years on it. A bag of crisps might arrive with a much shorter window and still be completely normal for that type of product.

We check dates, show them clearly, and give you the information before you buy — because that is how it should be.

What the colours mean

  • More than 30 days remaining
  • Within 30 days
  • Within 5 days, or past the best-before date

The product page will still show the actual date, so you can decide what works for you.

Why some customers like shorter dates

Many of our regular customers deliberately shop shorter-dated items when the price makes sense.

A chocolate bar with two weeks left is often every bit as good as one with six months left — and if we can pass on a saving instead of letting perfectly good food go to waste, everyone wins.

It is not about cutting corners. It is about being clear, fair, and sensible with stock that has travelled a long way to get here.

About Diddly Squat Farm Strawberry Jam

About Diddly Squat Farm Strawberry Jam

You have watched the man lose arguments with sheep, tractors and the council. Now you can spread the results on your toast. Diddly Squat Farm Strawberry Jam comes from Jeremy Clarkson's farm in the Cotswolds, the one off the telly.

And it is strawberry, which is the jam. Toast, scones, the middle of a Victoria sponge, a teaspoon straight from the jar when nobody is looking.

Fans of Clarkson's Farm have been asking us for it since the first series, and this is the proper UK jar, shipped from within Canada.

Kaleb's opinion of it has not been sought.

Frequently asked questions about Diddly Squat Farm Strawberry Jam

Q: Is this the jam from Clarkson's Farm?

A: It is the Diddly Squat Farm jar, the farm from the programme. Same name and label you have seen on the farm shop shelves.

Q: How big is the jar?

A: A 340g jar, the usual British jam size. Enough for a good run of toast, or one ambitious Victoria sponge.

Q: Does it make a good gift?

A: For anyone who watches the show, very much so. It gets a laugh before the lid is even off.

More about Diddly Squat Farm Strawberry Jam

Strawberry jam is the default jar in a British kitchen. It is the jam in the jam sandwich, the red layer in a cream tea and the stripe through a Victoria sponge. Other jams come and go; this one is always open at the back of the fridge door.

In Canada, people mostly find it after a binge of Clarkson's Farm on a wet weekend. The queue at the farm shop in Oxfordshire is famously long, and the flight to join it is longer, so a jar with that label on the kitchen table is the next best thing.

It is a standard British 340g jar, the size that sits happily in the cupboard until you open it. Once the lid is off, check the label for how to keep it. Toast in the morning, scones at the weekend, a sponge when someone has a birthday.

It goes with the rest of a proper British spread: a pack of crumpets, a loaf for toasting, a pot of strong tea. Fans of the show often buy it as a gift for the one person in the family who has watched every episode twice.

The story of Diddly Squat Farm Strawberry Jam

A farm named after nothing, in a jar

A farm named for producing next to nothing has produced a jar of jam, and you are holding it. Diddly Squat Farm Strawberry Jam comes from Jeremy Clarkson's farm near Chipping Norton. The official shop describes its jams as homemade, using produce from Diddly Squat Farm itself. Spread it on toast and you are, technically, eating a small piece of the telly. The toast will not care. Whoever in your house has watched every episode twice very much will.

Read the full story

A thousand acres of diddly squat

Clarkson bought about a thousand acres near Chipping Norton in 2008, land that was formerly part of the Sarsden estate. A local villager contract-farmed it until he retired in 2019, and then Clarkson had a go himself. He renamed it Diddly Squat, slang for the least amount, or nothing, to indicate its lack of productivity. Honest labelling, at least. Then Clarkson's Farm on Amazon Prime Video came along and made the place internationally known.

All because of the potatoes

The Diddly Squat Farm Shop was opened in 2020 by Jeremy Clarkson and Lisa Hogan. It was his idea, after he accidentally produced 40 tonnes of potatoes. Most of us over-order a takeaway. He over-ordered a field. The shop is known for drawing very long visitor queues, and it came through a two-month closure after a council dispute over the roofing material. Very British, that: a queue down the road and a row about the roof.

Off the farm and up the road

The products are made on the farm itself or by neighbouring businesses in the Cotswolds. Jam is only the start: the chutneys and condiments carry the name too, and from the same fields came Hawkstone Lager, created from barley grown on the farm after a cut in government farm subsidies in 2021. In 2024 the products went nationwide via Amazon Fresh, the first time they were sold on the UK high street. Now a jar has turned up here, and you did not even have to queue.
