<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having grown up on a farm, Carrie Underwood has embraced her roots in recent years by cultivating an impressive garden and developing a deep love for growing her own food. She describes her garden as one of her \u201chappy places,\u201d where she finds peace, clarity, and time to reflect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time, she has shared glimpses of her sprawling Tennessee property, including the organic garden she treasures. Her passion for homegrown produce led her to add a greenhouse, expanding her sustainable lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After tying the knot with former NHL star Mike Fisher in a charming Southern wedding in July 2010, the couple chose a quieter life in the countryside. In 2011, they purchased 400 acres in Franklin, Tennessee, for $3 million with the vision of building a serene retreat surrounded by nature. Their custom-built estate includes horse stables, a lake, and rolling hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2012, during an episode of\u00a0Oprah\u2019s Next Chapter<\/em>, the couple gave a tour of their land, pointing out areas they\u2019d transformed\u2014like a scenic ridge with sweeping views and a newly planted orchard. A peaceful picnic spot on higher ground was also highlighted, described as a favorite breezy spot where more trees would eventually be planted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their love for nature extended beyond landscaping. In July 2022, Underwood posted a video showing the abundance of her garden, writing, \u201cMy garden is one of my happy places\u2026 when I\u2019m getting my hands dirty, it\u2019s my time for thought and reflection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2018, Underwood\u2019s devotion to self-sufficient living has grown. She\u2019s maintained her garden, cared for chickens, expanded her orchard, and introduced new animals to the farm. In December 2020, Fisher surprised her with two cows, lovingly named Brownie and Oreo by their son, Isaiah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, Underwood collaborated with Epic Gardening to install a greenhouse. She proudly showed off the structure, which includes a potting bench, citrus trees, herb beds, and tables filled with seedlings. Just outside, her chickens roam near a coop that supplies fresh eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The land also supports apple, peach, blueberry, and blackberry plants\u2014making their meals truly farm-to-table. During a guest appearance on the\u00a0Epic Gardening<\/em>\u00a0YouTube channel, Underwood praised Tennessee\u2019s growing climate, saying she loves how she can \u201cgrow something from nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her commitment to sustainability deepened with time. On\u00a0The Dr. Axe Show<\/em>\u00a0in 2023, she revealed a personal goal: to stop buying food from the store. While she enjoys the lifestyle, she admitted her sons are still adjusting to the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underwood\u2019s family now eats almost entirely from their land\u2014fruits and vegetables from the garden, and meat from Fisher\u2019s hunts. She\u2019s noticed the distinct taste of homegrown food compared to store-bought, even organic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing is wasted in their home. Table scraps go to the chickens, and everything else is composted. \u201cIt\u2019s all fun. It feels good to physically do all these things,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As her gardening know-how expanded, so did her goals. She added more beds to the greenhouse and proudly shared that she grows around 30\u201335 tomato plants, including 25 unique varieties. Tomatoes flourish on her property, along with squash, beans, onions, and peppers\u2014all grown with care and intention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To continue learning, Underwood dives into books and podcasts, gaining knowledge about plant pairings, pest control, and seasonal growing. \u201cA lot of it comes down to just paying attention,\u201d she noted, highlighting the hands-on nature of gardening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her long-term dream of a self-sufficient homestead was shared by Fisher. In 2016, she revealed that they were designing their \u201cforever home,\u201d which would feature a wood-burning fireplace, porch swing, and rocking chairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our flag is flying a little lower here today at EH-OK Farm.

I remember exactly where I was 20 years ago when a friend told me on my way to class what had happened. It was absolutely impossible to comprehend at the time the words that he was saying\u2026\u00a0https:\/\/t.co\/l6JcBLj2QI<\/a>\u00a0pic.twitter.com\/oguu05AV3q<\/a>\u2014 Carrie Underwood (@carrieunderwood)\u00a0September 11, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Their completed estate, which they moved into in 2018, includes a full basement, multiple living spaces, a walk-in closet in the master suite, and plenty of room for their growing family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their previous home in Brentwood, TN\u2014now listed for $1.45 million\u2014was left behind after security concerns and a serious fall that resulted in more than 40 facial stitches prompted the couple to relocate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
