In her recent Interview Magazine conversation with Nine co-star Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman revealed her earthy side and appreciation for the simple things in life, saying:  “Where we live now, in Nashville, we support the little local farm up the road. We get them to give us vegetables and fruits that are in season and that’s what we eat.”

In addition to supporting locally grown eats, Nicole and her husband — chart-topping country musician Keith Urban – split their time between a 36 acre farm located on the outskirts of Nashville and a 100 acre Australian cattle ranch.

Depending on what part of the hemisphere they’re living in at the time, the Oscar winner finds farm life a thoroughly joyful experience, often savoring the fruits of her labor alongside her daughter Sunday Rose who is a huge fan of “eat(ing) out of the garden.”

Although she gets a thrill out of noshing fresh picked corn, Kidman gets even more ecstatic about her new additions to the family – quirky looking alpacas, which are curious, gentle and highly social “cousins of llamas” with long necks and even longer eyelashes.

By the way — she even has a half-glass-full perspective of environmentalism, believing that “people can change” and that we’re not “living in a doomed world.”
