Carrie Underwood shares rare insight into farm life away from Hollywood

Carrie Underwood is a country girl at heart who talks about her life away from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.

The American Idol star shares that she and her family live on their Tennessee farm in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital.

“I think if I had to, I could be self-sustained at home. I love growing things,” says the country musician.

Carrie explains that if she “had all the time in the world, I would not really need to go to the grocery store for too much. But it’s a lot of fun”.

“I love our chickens. We have cows, we have sheep, we have donkeys. We have horses. I have my garden, and it's a great way to connect with the earth. That's my contribution to the family,” mentions the 43-year-old.

However, Carrie reveals that they have “a farm manager, who is wonderful and takes care of her sheep”.

“He looks after the horses and things like that,” continues the songstress.

Carrie adds, “We do as much as we can, but I'm obviously not there all the time, and neither is my husband, so we do have help.”
