Jennifer Garner is beloved for her down-to-earth personality and commitment to family. Her Instagram is filled with heartwarming moments of motherhood and everyday life. But few know about her remarkable journey to save her family’s farm and create a thriving business.
The farm, located in Locust Grove, Oklahoma, has been in Jennifer’s family since 1936. Her grandparents purchased the land with a $700 bonus her grandfather received for serving in World War I. The property, which included a two-room house and 20 acres, held a special place in Jennifer’s mother, Patricia’s, heart.
As the years passed, the farm changed hands within the family, but its significance never faded. In 2017, Jennifer decided to buy the farm herself, not just to preserve memories but to revive it as a thriving business. She enlisted the help of her uncle Robert and aunt Janet, who had previously owned the farm.
Jennifer’s vision was to create a sustainable farm that would produce organic fruits and vegetables for children’s nutrition. She co-founded “Once Upon a Farm” with Ari Raz, John Foraker, and Cassandra Curtis. The company’s mission is to provide healthy, wholesome food for kids, made with love and care.
Jennifer’s passion project has been a resounding success since its launch in 2018. The company’s products are now stocked in major retailers across America and sold online. For Jennifer, it’s not just about building a business; it’s about giving busy moms access to nutritious food and preserving her family’s legacy.
