Hollywood stars turn farmers

Organic gardening has become the order of the day — so much so, that even Hollywood stars have started getting their hands dirty, literally!
Recently, Brad Pitt, who raises six children with wife Angelina Jolie, got his whole family involved in building an irrigation system and organic vegetable patch at their home. According to him, it’ll help his kids grow “strong and emotionally sound individuals who aren’t caught up in the crazy, vain world he and Angie live in”.

The media mogul grew up on a tiny farm in Kosciusko, Mississippi, which her grandmother and she tended. And now, Oprah has got back to her roots — harvesting produce from the farm on her 780-acre property in Maui, Hawaii. She feels that having space for a farm is a “full-circle moment” for her. The produce grown on her land is donated locally.
The Country Song star was once heard saying, “My dream is to have land somewhere outside of Nashville and have a big organic farm outside of the city.” Gwyneth is known to follow unusual diet regimes.

As an actress, singer and food writer, she has been regularly talking about eco-friendliness — providing information about organic gardening and food choices on her own website.
American-born British actress Sienna Miller may be creating a buzz for her hook-ups and breakups, but one would be surprised to know she still takes time out to pursue her love for gardening. Sienna loves to grow her own supply of vegetables and fruits at her home garden in London. According to her friends, the actress takes her hobby quite seriously and worries about her plants when she is away shooting.
She’s not just all about green eyes and an enviable body. As a model and businesswoman, Elizabeth Hurley is one of the most successful organic farmers, who has been selling meat and vegetables at local markets for years now. She has a 400-acre organic farm in Gloucester, where she grows all the necessary ingredients for her line of natural snack bars. No wonder, she leaves us charmed with her multi-faceted personality.
This pretty woman has always believed in modest living and also shares a love for organic farming. The actress has got a garden built at her Malibu mansion so that she can help her children lead a healthy lifestyle. She wants them to learn where the food comes from and how it is consumed. Reportedly, she makes sure her land gets back all the nutrients from leftover composts and kitchen wastes. Now, that’s what you call being one with nature.
This gorgeous Australian beauty and her musician husband Keith Urban often divide their time between a 36-acre farm outside Nashville, where they are based, and a 100-acre cattle ranch in Australia. Like her mother and sister, Nicole, too is an avid gardener and grows organic vegetables at home. The actress spends hours tending to her vegetables so that she can treat her family to home-grown produce.
