Celebrities love Jennifer Garner because she is so approachable and normal. Her Instagram is full of touching posts about being a mom and figuring out life’s ups and downs.
Mother of Jennifer Garner, Patricia English Garner, has many happy memories of her childhood on a farm in Locust Grove, Oklahoma. Patricia has happy memories of how her parents bought the land, which has been in the family for many generations.
The land was bought in 1936 with money her father got as a reward for fighting in World War I. With only $700, Patricia’s parents bought the 20-acre land that included a two-room house and a Native American cemetery on one acre in the middle of the property.

Patricia talks about how her parents didn’t have a car when they bought this one. When they heard about the land that was available, they had to pay someone to take them there. The $20 price difference caused a lot of trouble all day, but in the end, a deal was made, and the land became permanently owned by the family.
Jennifer’s mom has very clear memories of how simple the farm used to be, without running water or indoor plumbing. She has many happy memories of growing up on that 20-acre land.
The farm has been owned by different people many times over the years as family members grew up and moved away. Jennifer Garner bought the farm in 2017 to take back the family tradition. She wanted to do more than just remember the good times; she wanted to make it a successful business again.
She got help from her uncle Robert and aunt Janet, who used to own the farm, to do this. The farm was ready for a comeback after being ignored for forty years. It used to be a busy place where pecans, cabbage, radishes, and potatoes were grown.

Jennifer and “Once Upon a Farm” co-founders Ari Raz, John Foraker, and Cassandra Curtis brought the farm back to life. The job was to grow organic fruits and veggies so that kids could have healthy food.
The 2018 project was meant to bring organic baby food back to its roots. “Once upon a time… we dreamed of bringing baby food back to the roots with organic fruits and veggies picked from local farmers, blended with love, and served straight from the fridge,” Jennifer said, expressing her long-held dream.
Jennifer Garner has worked hard to make sure that busy moms can get healthy food. It’s amazing how successful “Once Upon a Farm” has been since it started. Its goods can be found in big stores across America and on the company’s website.
