Dog River Farm
Operated by George Cross, his wife Julie O’Keefe and a great staff of local folks, Dog River Farm is a small diversified organic farm in Berlin Vermont located in a river valley just south of Vermont’s capital, where the rich river valley soil is perfect for growing beautiful vegetables.
George started farming in Johnson, Vermont in 1993 and cofounded Deep Root Organic Co-op with friend and business partner Tony Lehouillier. After a stint as a high school biology teacher in New Jersey (he would come up on weekends to work his fields), George purchased Dog River Farm in 2001 and moved back to Vermont to farm full time three years later.
Today, George, Julie and their two children live in a farmhouse on a hill overlooking their river's edge vegetable fields and busy farm stand. Dog River Farm continues to operate with the clear mission of providing great local produce to the people of central Vermont and the far reaches of New England.
