In the new issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, Oprah Winfrey has been photographed for the first time at her Maui Farm. Oprah, 59, owns 780 acres on Maui, Hawaii where she produce is grown and locally donated.
"Everything that we ate came from our own little one acre,' she said in a video. "To be able to have a full circle moment with that, not in Mississippi, but in Maui, is fantastic. It's like ... jewelry that comes from the earth. I love it, just love it."
Oprah continued: 'It felt like we were not using the land to its ultimate potential and purpose and giving back to the people of the land, so right now, we're growing all these vegetables.
We tested our soil and enriched our soil and we have have some of the richest... I mean our soil is like chocolate around here."
Currently, all produce is donated and they might start selling it at some point in the future. The Daily Mail reported that Oprah had trademarked "Oprah Organics" last yearfor sunscreen, bath soaps, massage oils, hair products and organic salad dressings, frozen vegetables, drinks, snack dips and soups.
Someone from Oprah's team who represents Oprah said to The New York Post at the time, "The trademarks were filed for Oprah's farm on Maui to enable the farm to grow and distribute produce on Maui and throughout the Hawaiian Islands."
Last summer Oprah sold her eight bedroom co-op in Chicago for $2.75 million which was a $3 million loss. However The Daily Mail reported that The Oprah Winfrey Network has been gaining momentum.
"Her main home is a vast estate in Montecito, California, though she also has properties in New Jersey, Colorado, Georgia, Chicago and Antigua, as well as a private jet to travel between them all," reported The Daily Mail.
