Celebs Who Are Secretly Farmers

It’s becoming increasingly common for famous actors and performers to trade in their glamorous Hollywood lives for the peace and quiet of the countryside. Away from the cameras, they’re often found managing farms, growing food, and caring for animals.

Whether it’s a small organic garden or a large ranch, these celebrities are happily taking on the role of farmer.
