In his acceptance speech he praised staff, including manager Kaleb Cooper, 21, and his unlikely sidekick, thickly accented Gerald Cooper, 72.
Clarkson, 61, told the Birmingham event: "Kaleb, I couldn't have done this without you, you are the star of the show, apart from Gerald.
"But what was great, and I'm sure everyone in the room would say the same thing, every farm has a Gerald, every farm has a Charlie, every farm has a Kevin, every farm has an Ellen, every farm has a landowner and every farm has a Kaleb."
He bought Diddly Squat Farm in 2008 and it was run by a villager but, when he retired in 2019, Clarkson decided to try it himself.
Amazon has announced a second series.
