The Fabulous Beekman Boys... The subject of our September book selection.


What do you get when you combine a former Vice President of Martha Stewart Living, a drag queen turned ad exec and New York Times bestselling author, an estate and farm in upstate New York, a few quirky neighbors and goats, pigs and a llama to boot?

The answer: a funny and irreverent Planet Green series focused on organic living, connecting to the earth, raising animals humanely, and just living a simple, sustainable lifestyle.
The Fabulous Beekman Boys, is not to be missed.

Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge

These guys are total city-slicker New Yorkers, but they have moved upstate to try and revive a farm and create a new organic lifestyle brand, 'Beekman 1802'. For them, that turns out to mean wrangling pigs and wrapping 14,000 bars of organic goat milk soap—not a typical day in their previous New York life.
But, as they said: "We believe that a farm can be much larger than its fences. If someone told us that we'd trade in New York City for eighty goats, two pigs, a dozen chickens and a narcissistic llama, we would have told them that they were crazy. It turns out that we are."
They keep themselves quite busy—especially with Josh commuting to the city during the week—and they even organize a harvest festival to benefit the nearby town of Sharon Springs.

  1. We've been watching the show and really enjoy it. The show is fun and frequently touching. We're especially fond of Doug the sexy bear neighbor.
