Forget five star restaurants!

Shailene Woodley is perfectly happy to find her next meal at the—wait for it—farm.

That's right, the Divergent star recently opened up to Flaunt magazine about her remarkably un-Hollywood approach to life, and we're pretty sure her all-natural lifestyle will have a few of you feeling guilty about your last meal.

"I think everything about my lifestyle is fairly alternative," Woodley revealed. "I gather my own spring water from mountains every month. I go to a farm to get my food."

So much for delivery!

And don't expect the 21-year-old to rely on a fancy chef to whip up her organic goods into a healthy meal for her. On the contrary, the Golden Globe-nominated actress is very hands-on when it comes to stocking her home with all the essentials.

"I make everything from my own toothpaste to my own body lotions and face oils. I could go on for hours," she says. "I make my own medicines; I don't get those from doctors. I make my own cheese and forage wild foods and identify wild plants."

Normally, we'd be surprised to learn that a star with so many projects and red carpet commitments would have that much time on her hands, but the low-key Woodley has been known to hit premieres with no makeup and wet hair.

And we're guessing her new short ‘do has probably helped her cut down on her red carpet prep time, too.

But time consuming or not, we're guessing Woodley will stick to her alternative practices.

"It's an entire lifestyle," she said. "It's appealing to my soul."
