You probably know Jennifer Garner from her leading roles in romantic comedies, her celebrity life in the public eye or more recently, her TikTok videos. But what about the time she spends on her family farm in Oklahoma?
The actor, known for her roles in "13 Going on 30" and "Alias" and more recent films like "The Adam Project," is also the co-founder of an organic baby food company called Once Upon a Farm. One of her suppliers is a farm near Locust Grove — a northeast Oklahoma town of about 1,400 — that has been in her family for nearly a century.
While sporting striped overalls and work gloves, Garner said in a TikTok video in May that the Oklahoma farm was her "favorite place."
"My tractor is calling me," Garner said in the video, announcing that she'd be at the Oklahoma farm soon to plant. She signed the video, which has more than 3.4 million views, as "Farmer Jen."
Why does Jennifer Garner have a farm in Oklahoma?
Garner's grandparents bought the 20-acre plot of land, which came with a two-room house with no electricity, no running water and no indoor plumbing, for $700 in 1936, the family told Southern Living in 2018. Garner's mother, Patricia English Garner, recalled that the money her father used was a bonus he received as a World War I veteran.
After Patricia's father died in 1962, the farm changed hands a couple times to different brothers. In 2017, Garner bought the farm from her Uncle Robert with the agreement he and his wife Janet would remain, maintain the farm and live in the modern house they built on the land, the lifestyle magazine wrote.
Where is Jennifer Garner's farm in Oklahoma?

What does Jennifer Garner's Oklahoma farm grow?
Over the years, Patricia's parents added about 35 acres to the farm and grew things like lettuce, radishes, English peas, new potatoes, beets, green beans, tomatoes, onions and cucumbers. Native pecan trees on the property brought in some money, and there was room for chickens, cows and pigs, which were the family's source of meat, Southern Living reported.
The feature crop grown on the family farm are pumpkins used for Once Upon a Farm seasonal blend pouches.
There are also blueberries, field peas and rye to enhance soil, native wildflowers, and honeybees buzzing around. According to Once Upon a Farm's website, the cows Simon, Boaz, Pete, May Apple, Pig Nut and Mistletoe also act as "moo-security."
