Carrie Underwood may light up the biggest stages in the world, but when the spotlight fades, she finds her true joy in something much quieter: life on the farm.

The Oklahoma native has returned to her roots with a stunning 400-acre property in Franklin, Tennessee, where she lives with her husband, retired NHL player Mike Fisher, and their two sons, Isaiah and Jacob. While Carrie’s still very much a superstar, offstage she’s a hands-in-the-dirt homesteader—and loving every minute of it.

 From Stage Lights to Garden Rows
Carrie’s love of the land isn’t new. Raised on a farm herself, she always dreamed of recreating that peaceful, back-to-basics lifestyle. Now, her family’s custom-built estate—purchased in 2011 and completed in 2018—includes everything from horse stables and rolling hills to a private lake, a greenhouse, and a vibrant orchard.

In partnership with Epic Gardening, Carrie helped design a greenhouse that’s now brimming with citrus trees, herbs, and rows of homegrown vegetables. Outside, her chickens roam freely, offering up fresh eggs daily. Her garden is filled with apples, blueberries, tomatoes (more than 25 heirloom types!), squash, beans, and more. It’s no wonder she calls it her “happy place.”

Chickens, Cows & Composting — A Real Working Farm
Farm life isn’t just a weekend hobby for Carrie. She’s all in. Nearly everything the Underwood-Fisher family eats is grown or raised on their land. Kitchen scraps go to the chickens. What doesn’t get eaten is composted. Meat comes from Mike’s hunting. Even the family cows—affectionately named Brownie and Oreo by their son—have become part of their daily rhythm.

Carrie takes pride in learning as she goes. Whether it’s figuring out soil health or companion planting, she’s embraced the trial-and-error of gardening and continues to educate herself through books, podcasts, and hands-on work.

 A Home Full of Heart, Faith, and Healing
Carrie’s farm isn’t just about food—it’s also a place of peace and healing. After a scary fall in 2017 that required over 40 stitches to her face, she and Mike were drawn to a quieter life with more privacy and space to grow as a family.

The couple has weathered personal storms, including the heartbreak of several miscarriages, but through it all, their faith has remained at the center. It’s that same faith that inspired Carrie’s decision to lean into a more intentional, grounded way of living.

“Grow Something from Nothing”
“I want to get to the point where I don’t have to grocery shop anymore,” Carrie has said. And she’s getting close. For her, farming isn’t just practical—it’s therapeutic. It’s about slowing down, connecting with the earth, and passing those lessons on to her children.

Under the Tennessee sun, Carrie Underwood is still growing something beautiful. Not just vegetables or fruit—but a life rooted in love, gratitude, and simplicity. And fans love seeing this side of her just as much as the glitz and glam of the spotlight.
