What do you get when you combine a former Martha Stewart Vice President, 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 feature focused on organic living, connecting to the earth, raising animals humanely, and just living a simple, sustainable lifestyle.
It's called The Beekman Experience, and it's not to be missed. 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.
The forthcoming tv series--Beekman Farm--is produced by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato's World of Wonder. Check out the full season to learn more about their wacky activities—and challenges—and see what it takes to live a truly down-to-earth life, premiering in 2010 on Planet Green.
