Carrie Underwood’s life reads like a country song—triumphs shadowed by trials, all woven into a tale of resilience. After marrying hockey star Mike Fisher in 2010, the couple traded urban chaos for rural peace, settling on a 400-acre farm in Franklin, Tennessee, in 2011. Purchased for $3 million, this sprawling retreat—complete with horse stables, a lake, and rolling hills—became their haven after hardships like Underwood’s 2017 fall (requiring 40 stitches) and multiple miscarriages. Now, as of March 26, 2025, their homestead blooms with a garden, greenhouse, and livestock, revealing how the songstress’s green thumb and grit have redefined their family’s story.

Underwood’s garden isn’t just a hobby—it’s her sanctuary. “When I’m getting my hands dirty, it’s my time for thought and reflection,” she shared on Instagram in 2022, showcasing baskets of homegrown tomatoes, squash, and peppers. Raised on a cattle farm, she’s channeled her roots into a thriving operation: 30-35 tomato plants of quirky varieties, an orchard bursting with apples and peaches, and a chicken coop for fresh eggs. By 2023, a sleek greenhouse from Epic Gardening elevated her efforts, its citrus trees and herb beds a testament to her growing ambition. What’s next—donkeys, perhaps? Fisher’s Christmas gift of cows named Brownie and Oreo hints at more surprises.

This isn’t just about pretty produce—it’s a lifestyle shift born from struggle. After moving in 2018, spurred by security woes and that near-fatal fall, Underwood and Fisher embraced self-sufficiency. “My goal is to not buy food from the store anymore,” she told “The Dr. Axe Show” in 2023. They feast on seasonal harvests and Fisher’s hunted game, composting leftovers for their chickens. The difference? “It tastes delicious because it’s real,” she says, contrasting her bounty with store-bought fare. Her sons, Isaiah and Jacob, born in 2015 and 2019 after years of heartache, are slowly warming to the farm life she cherishes.

The farm mirrors their faith and fortitude. A scenic ridge offers panoramic views, a picnic spot hums with breezes, and their “forever home”—with its wood-burning fireplace and porch swing—stands as a dream realized. Underwood’s pride shines in her tomatoes—“large and beautiful”—and her mastery MO, her squash mastery. She’s always learning, devouring podcasts for new tricks. What’s fueling this transformation? A blend of necessity and passion, turning adversity into abundance.

Picture Underwood in her greenhouse, potting bench aglow with citrus scents, and Fisher by the stables, tending their five horses. These images—of her nurturing life from soil and him shaping their rural refuge—capture a couple thriving beyond the spotlight. Their next chapter? Perhaps a fully off-grid life, with Underwood’s vision promising fresh wonders.
