Every couple weeks, it seems, I read another story about young people taking up farming. It is not an easy thing to do.
This photographer couple is getting started by attending Farm School in Athol, Mass. They also are recording their progress on a website called Plough & Stars.
“Dina Rudick has worked as a staff photographer and videographer for the Boston Globe for 10 years. … Dina is also an adjunct faculty member at Boston University’s School of Journalism and has worked as a media consultant and media trainer … Her work can be seen at www.dinarudick.com.
“Erik Jacobs is also an award winning photographer … A selection of his editorial work can be seen at www.JacobsPhotographic.us.
“Together, Erik and Dina also run a boutique video production company called Anthem Multimedia.”
But they want to be farmers.
Here is a bit of their blogging about Farm School:
“We’re six weeks into life at Maggie’s and already we’ve established steady working relationships with the all animals on our farm. We lead cows to fresh pasture daily and pull fresh eggs out from under broody hens. We try to our best to keep the peace with Mr. Marbles the pushy ram and I’ve even grown accustomed to the regular mouse fiestas inside my bedroom walls.” You can follow their adventures here.
A blog is not exactly run of the mill when written by award-winning photographers. Their pictures are fantastic.
P.S. Here is a past post I wrote on the young-farmer trend.
