Jennifer Garner Shares Her Farm Life & Gets Praised for Being ‘Normal'
Jennifer Garner embraced farm life and showed her fans how she worked on her cultivated land. The actress drove a tractor herself and helped harvest their produce.
Jennifer Garner was hard at work on Monday. "The Last Thing He Told About Me" star recently swapped her red-carpet couture for gloves, boots, and a casual blue outfit to toil on her farm. Garner took to Instagram to share a slice of her farm life with her fans.
"When I teamed up with @cassandracurtis and @jforaker11 @onceuponafarm, my Uncle Robert and Aunt Janet jumped at the chance to join the adventure," she wrote in her post's caption.
The family's organic farm in Oklahoma soon turned into a "laboratory" and became the "world's tiniest supplier" for Once Upon a Farm, a company Garner co-founded which also sells baby foods.
In her shared video, Garner showcased her chicken coop, a group of feeding cows, and even her seeding endeavors. The actress also picked and gathered pumpkins into her arms.
Her down-to-earth persona didn't go unnoticed by her fans, who showered her with heartfelt comments.
One fan said, "This is just one of the many, many reasons why you are so grounded and so normal, Jennifer. You never are full of yourself. Kudos to your parents and your own inner work. Kindness and love always win. Your children are blessed ❤️ 🥕🚜."
Another user added, "I think you are amazing!!! Not to mention so beautiful even in overalls, you overshadow anyone on any red carpet because you are beautiful inside and out. Your (sic) the real deal."
A follower also commented, "You're such a simple good human who enjoys simplicity and natural thinks (sic) that life gives.👏"

The "13 Going on 30" star also divulged her health-centric pumpkin oatmeal cookie recipe without sugar.
In addition to her Oklahoma farm, the mother of three also has one in Los Angeles, where she grows a bounty of fruits and vegetables with her and ex, Ben Affleck's children — Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel.
Garner lovingly referred to it as their "living science experiment."

When asked about coming home to the South, she shared, "I could easily and happily live on a farm in the South or anywhere that had enough family nearby to feel like the South. I hope to own a home in West Virginia someday."
However, she and her kids are currently content with visiting "Grandmom and Granddad's house," and she's "not in any rush."
