Jennifer Garner paid a very special trip to Oklahoma on Wednesday to see a patch of land where she grows produce for her Once Upon a Farm baby food brand at her family farm. The 13 Going on 30 actress had shared a photo of herself visiting the green space with her uncle Robert and her mum Patricia, on Instagram Stories. Jennifer has a close relationship with her mum, who grew up on a farm herself, and encouraged her children to do the same when they were younger. During an interview with People, Jennifer revealed: "My mum made all of our food. When we were hungry she would say, 'Go out to the garden, child, I bet those tomatoes are ready and grab yourself some sugar snap peas.'"
