From fashion spray to nature's service. Story of the model she chose to become a farmer

It's when passion triumphs over everything. Kirsten Owen was transformed from a successful model into a blueberry farmer.

)I had in my fantasy a blueberry farm after I moved here to Vermot (Canada), 2002. And then a land next to me, which had 250 new blueberry plants, came out for sale. I couldn't resist.”

This lifestyle Kristen's going through her 50s is far from living in her 20s and 30s. A girl who crossed the Atlantic for spilts on the most fashionable floor. A museum for Helmut Lang, Melanie Ward and other style makers of the 1990s.

Now Owen, along with her 25 - and 28 - year - old daughters, has devoted her energy to blueberry bushes. ”I've never worked so hard in my life before I started dealing with this farm”, she says. This forces you to remain physically strong. ”

Its harvest provides local farmers' markets or is sold to occasional village visitors. Owen says of the prestigious Vogue magazine that when she leaves the farm for a while, her heart remains there and looks forward to returning to nature.
