My friend Tracy Parkinson of Nest and company turned me on to the new show on Planet Green called "The Fabulous Beekman Boys."http://www.planetgreen.com/. It's the best thing that has happened to reality TV since 9 by design has been on summer hiatus. Go on demand, check out their blog http://www.beekman1802.com/ but definitely check them out. Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Dr. Brent Ridge transplanted themselves from New York City to Beekman Farm in Upstate New York, where they raise goats, pigs, chickens, etc. The farm is a totally self sustaining farm where each episode humors us and teaches us so many incredible life lessons. By saying that, I don’t want you to think this is at all boring….I smile through the entire 24 minutes and laugh out loud…I’m scouring every room and every event for details . Brent a former Martha Stewart living executive and Josh a now advertising guru have the most incredible taste. Their line of soaps made from goats milk sell to boutique type shops including Anthropologie. Their blog has the most beautiful images and recipes. I’m hooked …and I know you will be too. Josh and Brent are a real couple…they are up and they are down, they are loving and kind and at times not so loving and kind… So cool, so fun…..thanks, Tracy.

I live in the UK but will have a look on line. Certainly that life style is very popular over here and who doesn't love Anthropolgie!
I haven't heard of this show being shown here in Australia, but will have a little search, it sounds fabulous:) Thanks for the introduction Kelly. Hope you are having a fabulous week ~ Tina xx
Have it set to DVR tonight! Looks fabulous.
The jars on the porch look so delicious. Love your blog very inspiring.
Sorry, I had a severe spelling error in the first comment!
I LOVE this show, makes even me want to go live on a farm and be a farmer. It's beyond wonderful, isn't it?

I love the Beekman boys and have seen all the shows. I was terribly upset by the latest though when they killed Porkey and Bess and ate them. They didn't have to show them dead with their eyes open. I live on a farm and you do not have to eat the animals/pets.
I have so enjoyed watching this show....but watched today and they slaughtered Porkey and Bess. I am stunned. I understand the reasoning but these pigs were adorable and they were given names. I am still crying....I was so hoping they wouldn't go through with it. Really sad right now.
I set these up to record and just watched two episodes last night. I think it's good for us to be reminded where our food comes from (the poor pigs). But I would have rather seen the adventures of what must have been an extensive renovation of the mansion. I guess that would have been on a different network though. I think that crypt could be a totally hot entertaining space or grotto or something.
