Jennifer Garner hands out grocery store samples... but gets rejected by customers who tell her 'I'm too busy'

Jennifer Garner tried to get some shoppers to sample her new Once Upon A Farm baby food line.

And the Peppermint star leaned really fast that this was not as easy as it might seem when she hit the aisles of a Kroger supermarket in Cincinnati, Ohio. 

Turns out she faced rejection after rejection -  and sometimes with hilarious results.

Posting the video on her Instagram story, Jennifer started by saying: 'Okay, I'm just hanging out at Kroger. Waiting.' 

Her first attempt at speaking to a customer fails immediately, with a man stating: 'I'm sorry, I'm really busy.'

The 13 Going On 30 star smiles and responds: 'I understand. No problem!' before turning around and frowning at the camera. 

Several other clips shared on her social media then show the actress - who has three kids, Violet, 12, Seraphina, nine, and Samuel, six, with her estranged husband Ben Affleck - approaching shoppers who all turn down her food samples.

The ‘Peppermint’ star did eventually find success with one customer who told her: 'That's good! I would eat that!' And Jennifer was overcome with excitement: 'Did you see the delight?' 

The actress’ baby food line boasts organic produce that cuts out all of the ingredients that could be bad for a child’s health and growth, and aims to serve up the most nutritious and great tasting food using the most sustainable methods possible.

Speaking in a Facebook live last month, she broke the product down. 'It's the first cold-pressed, organic, non-GMO, no sugar added, everything good that you would want to feed your baby.'

The 'Alias' actress has previously admitted that she doesn't often let her three children indulge in junk food, and prefers to give them healthier dishes.

'I'm not worried so much about junk food, because we don't have it in the house - although I don't want to be a freak about it, so that they just want to get their hands on it at all costs.'

She added: 'It's more than you just want to make sure they're getting a rainbow of flavors and of foods.' 

Once Upon A Farm has turned into a family affair for Garner. IN recent months, she bought a farm where her mother Pat grew up on, and with the help of her Uncle Robert, the actress turned it into a site to grow produce for the company. They are currently harvesting blueberries, kale and persimmons on the land.
