Jennifer Garner's Once Upon a Farm Set to Go Public at $720 Million Valuation

The baby food brand co-founded by the actress will begin trading on the NYSE this Friday.

Published on Feb. 5, 2026

Once Upon a Farm, the baby food brand co-founded by actor Jennifer Garner, is set to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Friday under the ticker symbol OFRM. The company is expected to price its shares between $17 and $19, valuing the Berkeley, California-based company at over $720 million.

Why it matters

The Once Upon a Farm IPO could serve as a bellwether for other consumer brands looking to go public, many of which faced uncertainty in 2025 due to tariffs and changing policies in Washington. However, celebrity-backed brands have had a mixed track record as public companies.

The details

Once Upon a Farm initially intended to go public in the fall of 2025, but those plans were delayed by the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. The company is now set to sell nearly 11 million shares, with the IPO potentially raising over $200 million. Garner's star power has helped draw attention to the brand, and she has been actively promoting it through sales meetings and events.
