Since he took a step back from acting, Ian Somerhalder has turned his attention to various passion projects. As he’s built a rural lifestyle with his family, the actor has experienced a renewed interest in eco-friendly practices. “I’m gearing my entire life to be a rancher and to be a regenerative farmer,” Somerhalder told EatingWell. “We have an organic farm that we practice regenerative agricultural practices on.”
His focus on nature-friendly farming comes from environmental concerns, as Regeneration International explains that this agricultural method seeks to “reverse climate change by rebuilding soil organic matter and restoring degraded soil biodiversity.” Somerhalder’s ecological concerns have translated into his film work, as he’s been involved in the nature-related projects “Kiss the Ground,” “Common Ground,” and “Tail of Two Farms” as a producer and narrator.
The “V-Wars” actor’s environmental interests also translate into his alcohol brand, Brother’s Bond Bourbon, which he co-founded with his former “The Vampire Diaries” colleague Paul Wesley. The company has transitioned into purchasing regenerative grains as a part of its commitment to sustainability, something that was announced in an Instagram post from October 2021.
