We’ve known Oprah for so long now that we’d almost consider her a friend – one who we imagine would give the BEST hugs, we’re sure those of you with a subscription to O: The Oprah magazine would agree!
What you may not have known, though, is that Oprah has her very own farm in Maui! In the new edition of the magazine, Winfrey gives readers a tour around the place.

I mean our soil is like chocolate around here.”
