Garner's 54th: Birthday joy & business win

Jennifer Garner recently celebrated her 54th birthday with a casual outing in Santa Monica. She was joined by her 17-year-old son, Fin, and friends, enjoying Italian food from Cosetta. Garner, who officially turned 54 on April 17, has often spoken about her positive perspective on aging, describing it as a gift that brings confidence and less worry.

She shared her feelings on aging, telling People that she is grateful to be alive and to have gained wisdom. Garner also expressed her joy in having teenagers, finding them smart, funny, and sweet. In a separate development, Garner announced a major milestone for her company, Once Upon A Farm. The organic food brand for children is now WIC-certified in California, allowing it to serve families through the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children.

Once Upon A Farm, co-founded by Garner in 2015, is the first and only line of refrigerated organic baby food eligible under WIC in 20 states. Garner sees this achievement as a significant step in her company's mission to shape the future of food and improve childhood nutrition. Friends like Demi Moore and Rita Wilson sent warm birthday wishes on social media.
