JULIA ROBERTS has gone from glamorous A-list superstar to country bumpkin at her Malibu eco-mansion – and now friends say she’s ready to quit the TinselTown rat race altogether to run a sustainable farm in Hawaii.
Julia, 43, raises chickens and goats, using the eggs and milk to feed her family. She also grows organic lettuce, celery, squash and tomatoes, and has fig, lemon, peach, avocado and orange trees on her property.
“Julia has been into healthy eating for some time, but she got even more interested in it after deciding to lose the 10 pounds she gained while playing the Evil Queen in ‘Mirror, Mirror,’” said the source.
“Julia became really fanatical about the food her family was eating – everything had to be organic or homegrown if possible.
“She’s even considering moving to Hawaii, where her family vacations every year, so they can live off the land, bask in the sun and surf 365 days a year.”
Julia’s Earth Mother ways aren’t limited to food.
She’s banned all plastic, gets 85 percent of her home’s energy from solar panels, and she and her husband Danny Moder both drive hybrid cars.
The “Pretty Woman” star also hates using e-mail and social networks like Facebook and Twitter and won’t let her kids – twins Hazel and Finn, 7, and Henry, 5 – go online. She also severely limits their TV viewing time.
“She’s turning into a real hippie,” said the source. “She really believes she’s much happier and healthier living down on the farm.”
