When you think of celebrities in their day to day lives the first thoughts are of lavish LA apartments with numerous pools or spending time relaxing on a picturesque beach.

But there are some famous faces who are donning their wellies and getting stuck in with their own farms and smallholdings. It seems that spending time on the farm and tending to a range of animals allows most to unwind and take a break from their usually busy lives.

These are just 8 celebrities who are enjoying their life on the farm. You should spot a few well-known faces in the mix.
