About me

Michelle and Russ Berg founded Fat Dog Farms in Columbia County, Oregon in 2002. More than 20 years later, they are farming and sharing their blue orchard mason bees with the world. In 2004, they began raising blue orchard mason bees to provide pollination to the many fruits and berries that they had planted on the farm’s five acres. Years later, research and experiments has made Fat Dog Farms experienced when it comes to the blue orchard mason bee. Michelle is a native to the Pacific Northwest, president of the Scappoose Garden Club, and is the Columbia County Fairgrounds Floral Building Superintendent. Fat Dog Farms operates a farm stand on Cater Road in Warren and occupies a spot in 2Cs Vendor Mall. In her spare time, Michelle enjoys camping and fishing with her family throughout the Northwest.
