The Fabulous Beekman Boys

Have you ever heard of the Fabulous Beekman Boys? Here is a short intro from their website on PlanetGreen.com: "Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Dr. Brent Ridge are not your average couple. They have transplanted themselves from New York City to Beekman Farm in upstate New York, where they are raising 80 goats, two pigs, a dozen chickens and a narcissistic llama -- and learning that the "simple life" isn't so simple."

Well, tonight, at Josh's brother's wedding, at which I had the pleasure of presiding, I also had the pleasure of dining with Josh and Brent. It was a terrific experience. While they have great senses of humor and are both very easy to talk to, they both have great business minds and obviously love what they do.

Now, here is the website that I really think you should visit: http://beekman1802.com/ Again, from their website: "We're committed to sharing only handmade, artisanal products straight from the Beekman Farm and Sharon Springs. Thank you for supporting small farms and local (in New York) businesses." I hope that you might consider an online purchase to support them as well!

Now, the picture above is the proof that I was with them! And the picture below is Josh's book about life on the farm! Use the Amazon.com link on the right to buy the book! It is next on my list of books to buy!

Thanks Josh and Brent for being wonderful dinner companions. I look forward to the next occasion we get to share time together.
