After becoming a world champion, Jody retired to a very humble life. He moved to his 2500 acre farm in Hampshire, a country in South East England. Jody bought the farmland, wherein he began farming and cultivating within the farm.

Jody now owns and operates Laverstoke Park from within the farm, where he is an organic food producer. There is enough space on this massive 2500 acre farm for a Car Fest, conducted within the premises annually.
