Jennifer Garner is one of the most loved celebrities because of how relatable and approachable she seems. Her Instagram account is brimming with wholesome content about being a mother and navigating through life.
Patricia English Garner is Jennifer Garner’s mother. As a young girl, Patricia had a lot of sweet memories of growing up at a farm in Locust Grove, Oklahoma.
She even recalls how her parents bought the piece of land that has stayed in their family for generations. Her parents bought the piece of land in 1936, with a bonus her father had received from fighting in World War I.

The family had only $700 to purchase the land at the time. She recalls how her veteran father and mother did not even have a car at the time they bought the land. They had to hire someone to take them to the property.
“My parents didn’t even have a car, so when they heard about the land that was for sale, they hired someone to drive them to the property. The farm consisted of a two-room house and 20 acres–minus 1 acre at the heart of the property, which was a Native American cemetery,” Patricia said.
Mother told me the story of Dad leaning on his heels and negotiating all day over $20. When they finally agreed on a price, the deal was sealed, and the land was purchased. It’s been in our family ever since,” she ended.
Over the years as everyone grew up and moved away, the farm did not have one set of owners. It kept switching ownership from one family member to another as it was bought and sold repeatedly. Then finally, in 2017, Jennifer Garner decided to purchase the farm herself.
And she did not just purchase the farm for the sake of memory but she had the vision to turn it into a profitable business once again. To do so, she hired her uncle Robert and aunt Janet, who had previously owned the farm to help her with it.
It had been 40 years since the farm had been planted and tended to. In the past, her mother and her siblings had been avid farmers and sold pecans as well as grew lettuce, radishes, and potatoes.
And Jennifer wanted to bring that back. She established “Once Upon a Farm” with co-founders Ari Raz, John Foraker, and Cassandra Curtis. The idea was to grow organic fruits and vegetables that could be made into nutritious food for children.
She said she had been dreaming about the project for a while, “once upon a time… we dreamed of bringing baby food back to the roots with organic fruits and veggies harvested from local farmers, blended with love and served fresh from the fridge. We dreamed of feeling less stressed about mealtimes because we could feed our little ones foods that give them all the nutrients they need – and then some!”
Jennifer says giving busy moms access to nutritious food is important to her.
The company was started in 2018 and since then has been majorly successful. Their products are stocked at some of the biggest retailers in America and are also sold online on the company’s website.
Michelle Obama ‘Wants to run’: Obamas’ White House return – Full details here
An interview with Michelle Obama has sparked a firestorm of specuIation over the First Lady’s push for the US Presidency. Ms Obama expressed her fear about the potential outcome of the 2024 eIection as ageing combatants Biden and Trump prepare to lock horns again at the polls in comments made on the “On Purpose with Jay Shetty” podcast.
Currently the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidentiaI nomination, Mr Trump is leading President Biden in five out of six key swing states and has reignited his supporter base following his controversial ousting from the top role in 2020.
Despite facing legal troubles and multiple indictments at both state and federal levels, Mr Trump maintains his innocence, and national polls show him leading Biden.
But Ms Obama says whether her nation Iikes it or not, America is defined by its leaders. She called voiced her opposition to injustice, ego, greed, racism, and ignorance, condemning what she described as childish leadership and emphasising the significance of the tone and tenor of political messages.
I am terrified about what could possibIy happen, because our leaders matter, she said, arguing that “we cannot take this democracy for granted, and sometimes I worry that we do”.
