" 'Here I keep hens, up to 250 of them, the free-est range known to poultry.' The Duchess of Devonshire, on the game larder on her 35,000-acre estate.
She's resolute, charming and forward-thinking - and has been known to feed her chickens while wearing a ball gown. (Our kind of girl.) Meet The Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, overseer for 50-plus years of the grandest estate in all of England, Chatsworth."

Architect Andy Lewis "collaborated with garden designer Sue Bowman on a new landscape plan, which features brick pathways, stone walls, and Italian-inspired boxwood parterres. . . . The centerpiece is a 19th-century-style conservatory. 'It's no folly,' [Bowman] insists: 'A lot of clients want a greenhouse and never use it, but when Elizabeth comes back from a business trip, she is trimming, pruning, and fertilizing.' "

"With their chickens, pigs, lambs, and sheep, the McNallys don't have to do a lot of shopping for food. 'We use our own bacon and ham from the pigs for breakfast,' McNally says proudly. Apples, peaches, plums, and cherries come from the orchards, and there's a berry garden with strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. The vegetable garden is also vast, with plenty of fresh asparagus, Sun Gold tomatoes, cucumbers, okra, peppers, fennel, and haricots verts. And, yes, there's compost, too."
