There’s a reason why you haven’t seen Jason Dohring on your screens in recent years.

The 44-year-old actor, who is best known for his role as Logan Echolls on the hit show Veronica Mars, decided to take a step back from acting to become a farmer.

Jason said that his new life began with a gardening hobby.

Jason said on the Don’t Do Nothing podcast, “About three and a half, four years ago, I guess COVID area, I sort of got into gardening. I was like, ‘Dude, this is so cool.’” 

“I didn’t even notice COVID for months ‘cause I was in my backyard, just gardening and stuff like that,” he said. “It wasn’t a huge thing, but then I just got an interest in it.”

Jason has since built three farms in the Clearwater, Florida area, where he lives with his wife Laurie and their four kids.

“We’re just making great food for people ‘cause I really realized that people are getting sick from the food that they’re eating,” Jason said. “I just really wanted to change that and the flavor of food can be so amazing and there’s an art that you can create too, like with the way your farms are built and stuff. I told my agents, ‘I’m just going to go farm for a minute.’ They said, ‘Well, we’re still going to send you stuff.’ I said, ‘OK, fine.’”

Jason is still open to acting and recently appeared in a short film.

“I love art, and when I get around art, even talking about this is exciting to me. … It’s really amazing,” he said. “I think there’s something in everybody that is aesthetic, meaning beautiful, or wants to create. I think that, obviously, because when they see that, they feel it, so there’s something in them that resonates with that, you know. I just love it.”
