7 Celebrities Who Are (Or Were) Actually Farmers

It is amazing how many famous celebrities grew up on a farm and how many still consider a farm or ranch to be the ideal place to live.

1Jennie Garth

Jennie spent her childhood on a 25-acre horse farm in Illinois and now lives on a ranch in Los Olivos, California, with her three daughters and their cats, dogs, horses, pigs and goats. Jennie has said, “They fill a void in my life” and explained that her four-legged pals aren’t judgmental about her weight and looks and do not want anything except love.

2Eva Longoria

Eva grew up on a Texas ranch and still has a soft spot in her heart for ranchers and farmers. In March of 2013 she went to Guatemala with philanthropist Howard G. Buffett to discuss the growth and development of agriculture projects as part of the World Food Program that is supported by Buffett’s foundation.

3Jewel

The singer Jewel spent part of her childhood living on an Alaskan farm and now lives on a Stephenville, Texas, 2,400-acre ranch with former professional bull rider husband, Ty Murray, and young son Kase. She tends to 250 cows, four chickens, 15 horses and two dogs. She even ropes and brands!

4Carrie Underwood

Carrie grew up on an Oklahoma cattle farm and has been busy building her dream farm house in Nashville, Tennessee. She and her husband, who grew up with the same lifestyle, plan to fill the grounds with chickens, cows, pigs and goats and embrace their love of farmyard life.

5Matthew Fox

A young Matthew Fox and his family were caretakers of a remote Wyoming and then purchased a ranch in Crowheart on the Wind River Indian Reservation. Matthew still calls that tiny community of ranching families home. He loves the glacial lakes, mountains and rugged foothills where he learned horseback riding early on and took long trips with his father and brothers.

6Miley Cyrus

Miley, having grown up on a big farm in Franklin, Tennessee, plans to buy the farm that she has always wanted. She expects to run it with the help of an experienced person and delight in getting her hands dirty making it work and pulling her own weight.

7Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban

Nicole was raised near Sydney, Australia, and loves living away from the city hustle and bustle. Husband Keith was raised on a 12-acre farm in Queensland, Australia. Nicole said she was excited when she was dating Keith and he took her down to his place in Leipers Fork, Tennessee, which was very rural and lush.
