Q & A with The Fabulous Beekman Boys
Feb 15, 2017, 16:39 PM
Viewers have followed the city-meets-country antics of The Fabulous Beekman Boys, duo Josh Kilmer-Parcell and Brent Ridge since they 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 — all while learning that the "simple life" isn't so simple. Today, their Beekman 1802 FarmHouse product line is sold at Target, and they are authors of Beekman 1802 Style and Beekman 1802 Heirloom Cookbook. Josh and Brent will share their stories – and yes, photos of the goats and narcissistic llama – during their presentations on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Before they do, the FBB share some of their favorite things with us:
