The supermodel is hoping to run her own farm from her country estate in the Cotswolds, in West-Central England, and has applied to her local council for permission to transform the surrounding land into a farmyard.

A source told the Daily Star newspaper: Kate has already converted part of her garden into a vegetable patch and she has submitted plans to convert three outbuildings.

She loves the idea of keeping animals and wants an end to her partying lifestyle.

Its the perfect location as theres plenty of space and when shes not there, shell employ people to look after the animals.

However, not all of Kates friends are enthusiastic about the move and many think the party-loving model wont be happy with life in the country.

The source said: Some of her friends have been making fun of her, nicknaming her Margot. They reckon someone whos used to catwalks wont want to be mucking out pig pens in the winter.

But Kates stubborn and is determined to prove them wrong.

This is not Kates first foray into country life.

The 36-year-old catwalk beauty who bought the Cotswolds estate five years ago recently attempted to set up a business selling homemade preserves after perfecting her own recipes.

Kate  whose eight-year-old daughter Lila Grace helps her make the jam - got hooked on making sweet preserves after finding hoards of damsons in her garden.

A friend said: "Kate bought a load of expensive equipment because she's always been keen on the idea of making jam.

"She has so much fruit on her land she wanted to put it to good use.
