Having grown up on a farm, the songstress has developed a green thumb in recent years. She considers her garden one of her “happy places,” as it gives her time to think and reflect.

Over the years, Carrie Underwood has shared glimpses of her garden on her expansive property. Embracing organic living, she has also added a greenhouse, further expanding her homegrown efforts.

After marrying former ice hockey player Mike Fisher in July 2010 in a Southern-style wedding in Georgia, the superstar and her husband chose to settle in the countryside.

In 2011, the then-newlyweds purchased 400 acres in Franklin, Tennessee for $3 million. They envisioned a private retreat surrounded by nature, designing a custom estate that included horse stables, a scenic lake, and rolling hills.

The following year, the couple shared a glimpse of the then-empty land during an appearance on “Oprah’s Next Chapter,” offering a preview of what would soon become their dream home.

While driving across the estate, Fisher pointed out a scenic ridge, describing it as a vantage point that “sees everything.” He also noted the addition of an orchard that had been planted on the other side of the property.

The couple highlighted a designated picnic area situated on an elevated spot, with Fisher describing it as a location with a “nice high spot” and a refreshing breeze, where they planned to add more trees.

Their connection to the land encompassed more than scenic views and carefully planned spaces. In July 2022, Underwood shared a video on Instagram, showcasing the abundance of fruits and vegetables grown in her garden.

“My garden is one of my happy places…when I’m getting my hands dirty it’s my time for thought and reflection,” she expressed, adding, “Enjoy a little taste of calm…from my #Garden to yours.”

Her devotion to homegrown produce deepened over the years. Since 2018, the musician has not only maintained a garden, but also cared for chickens, and nurtured an orchard.

By February 2023, Underwood took another step in advancing her efforts, commissioning California-based Epic Gardening to install a greenhouse on her property. She shared her excitement over the addition, admitting she was “obsessed” with it.

Designed with a mix of L-shaped, rectangular, and round beds, along with outdoor raised beds, the space allows for a diverse range of plantings.

Inside, she positioned a potting bench on the south side of the structure, surrounded by citrus trees. The greenhouse also contains designated herb beds and seeding tables filled with a variety of plants. Just beyond, a chicken coop provides a steady supply of fresh eggs from the hens she raises on the property.

With their farm becoming a true haven for animals, Fisher gifted Underwood two cows for Christmas in December 2020 after attending a cattle auction, with their son, Isaiah, naming them Brownie and Oreo.

The cows arrived after their five horses moved into their “forever barn,” leaving the front pasture open for new additions. Moreover, the family took up beekeeping, with Underwood hinting that donkeys might be next.

Beyond animals, the land also features numerous apple and peach trees, along with smaller shrubs that yield blueberries and blackberries, making it a thriving source of fresh ingredients for her family.

During an appearance on the YouTube channel, “Epic Gardening,” Underwood, who was raised on a cattle farm, expressed her appreciation for Tennessee’s warm climate, saying she loves it because she can “grow something from nothing.” At the time, the greenhouse was still awaiting some stonework on its exterior.

As her dedication to self-sufficiency grew, the celebrity openly shared her aspirations for a more sustainable lifestyle. In September 2023, she appeared on “The Dr. Axe Show,” where she discussed her deepening commitment to gardening.

“My goal is to not buy food from the store anymore,” the Grammy Award winner stated, emphasizing her commitment to homegrown produce. While she fully embraced this way of living, she admitted that her sons, Isaiah and Jacob Fisher, were still hesitant.

The family primarily eats food sourced from their land, with meals featuring produce from her garden and meat from Fisher’s hunting. “We eat seasonally and it all tastes delicious because it’s food,” the mother of two explained.
