‘Veronica Mars’ star Jason Dohring traded Hollywood for farming
Jason Dohring, best known for playing Logan Echolls in “Veronica Mars”, has stepped back from acting to concentrate on regenerative farming. He says his interest in gardening developed about four years ago and has grown into a commitment to producing food without chemicals, motivated by his belief that poor-quality food is contributing to ill health.
Dohring began growing in Los Angeles, then developed a 14-acre farm in West Virginia where 4,000 fruit trees were planted, before moving with his wife and four children to an 11-acre farm in Florida. He cited Florida’s rainfall and farming conditions as advantages over drought-prone California; his latest acting role was in “SEAL Team” in 2021, though he says he may return to acting.

Regenerative farming aims to grow food in ways that support soil and the wider environment. Dohring says his interest began with gardening in Los Angeles and developed into a focus on growing food without chemicals, which he believes may help address health concerns.
He first developed a farm in West Virginia, where 4,000 fruit trees were planted, then moved with his family to an 11-acre farm in Florida. He says the state’s rainfall and growing conditions suit farming better than drought-prone California, while leaving open the possibility of returning to acting.
