Jennifer Garner celebrates 'farm life' harvesting vegetables as fans cheer on 'grounded' actress
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Garner enjoyed farm life and showed her fans what she did on her family's farm — from operating a tractor to assisting in the harvest of their organic vegetables. On Monday, May 22, the "The Last Thing He Told About Me" actress recently traded in her red-carpet gown for gloves, boots, and a simple blue striped dungarees to toil on the farm.
Garner took to Instagram and posted a clip to show what "Farmer Jen" was all about. She wrote in her post's caption, "When I teamed up with @cassandracurtis and @jforaker11 @onceuponafarm, my Uncle Robert and Aunt Janet jumped at the chance to join the adventure."

The family's organic farm in Oklahoma quickly became a "laboratory" and the "world's tiniest supplier" for Once Upon a Farm, a company Garner co-founded that offers baby meals.
In the video, Garner showed out her chicken house, a herd of feeding cows, and even her planting efforts.
In addition, the actress selected and collected pumpkins in her arms. Her followers noted her down-to-earth demeanor and flooded her with genuine compliments. Her followers adored her simplicity as one of the users wrote, "This is just one of the many reasons why you are so grounded and so normal, Jennifer. You never are full of yourself. Kudos to your parents and your inner work. Kindness and love always win. Your children are blessed ❤️ 🥕🚜."
Another user addressed her work as 'amazing' and wrote, "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 said, "You're such a simple good human who enjoys simplicity and natural thinks (sic) that life gives.👏"
The '13 Going on 30' star also shared her sugar-free pumpkin oatmeal cookie recipe. In addition to her Oklahoma farm, the mother of three has one in Los Angeles, where she raises a cornucopia of fruits and vegetables with her and ex-husband Ben Affleck's children, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. Garner affectionately called it their "living science experiment."
"I could easily and happily live on a farm in the South or anywhere that had enough family nearby to feel like the South," she said when questioned about returning to the South. She and her children, however, are now pleased with visiting "Grandmom and Granddad's house," and she is "not in any rush," as reported by Amomama.
