The Boston Globe's  Dina Rudick ( @dinarudick) and Photographer  Erik Jacobs discuss their new book, Barnyard Kids and how they took up farming. 

A few years ago, Erik decided to travel down a new path and go to farm school. Now, the husband-and-wife team runs an organic farm in Lincoln, called Plough and Stars Farm with the help of their son, Wendall. And that was the inspiration for Dina’s new book (most photos by Erik.)

It’s a primer on how and where to raise chickens, goats, horses and other barnyard types.
