Stars with farms or ranches

_

Not all of your favorite stars live in Hollywood! We've rounded up the stars who've chosen to call farms and ranches home (at least some of the time) — and a few might surprise you!

"The Vampire Diaries" actor Ian Somerhalder and his wife, "Twilight" actress Nikki Reed, moved to a farm outside Los Angeles and both have essentially retired from acting in recent years. "We're farm people, we produce most of our own food, I live in my cowboy boots," Ian told E! News in 2023.

On their farm, the couple and their two kids grow everything from lavender and rosemary to cucumbers and care for animals including cows, chickens, mini donkeys and goats. "It is a lot of work," Ian admitted, but "it's unbelievable when you see these amazing creature life forms and how they all live on the farm together is really special."

In January 2023 at a screening of "Common Ground" — a film the couple produced about the regenerative agriculture movement — Nikki further told E!, "When you see the way that nature operates, you find compassion. It's a beautiful thing to see what's happening with children, to watch them participate in the growing of their food and the understanding of what food is and where it comes from."

Oscar winner Russell Crowe has a 560-acre ranch near Australia's east coast.

Back in 2006, the Oscar winner invited Oprah Winfrey to visit and showed off his 500 cows.

Kelis purchased 24 acres in Temecula, California, which is a few hours outside of Los Angeles, in the late 2010s and set up a farm there. The "Milkshake" singer, who lived there with her three children and husband Mike Mora until his 2022 death from stomach cancer, talked to Harper's Bazaar in 2021 about life on the farm, where she grows kale, broccoli, herbs, carrots, tomatoes, strawberries, blueberries, eggplant, lettuce, arugula and peppers, tend a citrus grove, presses her own olive oil and looks after more than 30 animals (she's even helped her sheep birth their lambs with advice from YouTube and her sister, who's a veterinarian). "You become farm people quickly," Kelis explained. "None of my friends would've pegged me as a farm person, but I'm as farm as it gets at this point." She's put her crops to good use in her Bounty & Full sauce line: In addition to making music, Kelis is a trained saucier who graduated from Le Cordon Bleu culinary school in 2008.

The land, which produces vegetables, eggs, wine and farm-to-table meals on top of hosting weddings and special events, is said to be Ibiza's largest organic farm.
