A Walk around the Garden
BY:Josh Kilmer-PurcellIt’s not you, it’s me. I’ve been a little quiet on “the Social Medias” lately, because, well, because all my spare time has been spent socializing with vegetables. (And the occasional bee and cabbage moth.) Most everyone knows that the Beekman 1802 Vegetable Garden is my favorite spot in the whole world, and this time [...]

Summer Pond Reading
BY:Josh Kilmer-PurcellSeveral people have asked why we haven’t put out a reading list since winter. We’ll be honest…we don’t get much reading done during planting season. But now that summer’s arrived, we’ve been spending a little time with books down by the pond in our favorite chairs. So rather than a Summer Beach Read List, [...]

2011 Garden Party in Pictures
BY:Josh Kilmer-PurcellThis is my favorite time of year in Sharon Springs! (Ok, I know I say that every season.) The 2nd annual Garden Party that occurred over Memorial Day weekend marked the beginning of the summer season in Sharon Springs. The village has a long tradition as a summer destination – at the turn of [...]

Battling the Invaders
BY:Josh Kilmer-PurcellIsn’t it amazing what we pretend to forget every year? “Oh, I won’t plant the tomato plants six feet apart. They’ll never grow that big.” “I don’t need to cover the strawberries with straw. It’ll probably be a mild winter.” “It’s too hot to wear long sleeve and pants while weed-whacking.” It’s that last [...]

Happy Birthday, Brent!
BY:Josh Kilmer-PurcellIt’s Brent’s birthday today. I hope you’ll all wish him a happy day because he’s the most deserving person of appreciation that I’ve ever met. It’s tough for me sometimes, because I see that the world’s understanding of Brent doesn’t always line up with his actual contributions – to myself, to our community, [...]

A Christmas Family Tree
BY:Josh Kilmer-PurcellMuch has been made during this season of “The Fabulous Beekman Boys” about Brent’s relationship with his family. Tonight you saw that we can now call them “our” family. Yes, it took awhile for me to meet some of Brent’s relatives. And that wasn’t really Brent’s choice, nor his family’s choice, nor my choice. It [...]

Reading List for Winter
BY:Josh Kilmer-PurcellJanuary and February are the last big reading months on the farm. Other than daily clean-up and keeping the fireplace stoked, there aren’t a lot of chores. Soon, though, baby goats will arrive, the garden will thaw, and something will no doubt need to be painted. Until then, however, I’m going to curl up and [...]

Brent’s List for January
BY:Josh Kilmer-PurcellAs many of you know, Brent’s famous for making lists for me. I thought I’d share with you a few of the things he wants me to accomplish at the farm this month. The combination of getting so many lists along with being genetically lazy has made me a sort of expert at chore shortcuts. [...]

Hoarfrost -a dress rehearsal for Spring.
BY:Josh and BrentThis morning we were going about our morning business when Brent noticed that something looked a little different outside. This time of year we sometimes avoid looking out the window. The weather is fairly monotonous and bleak, and there’s still a long way to go until it changes. But, as if to teach us a [...]

Christmas Wishes That Last the Ages.
BY:Josh Kilmer-PurcellSome people who saw our Country Living Holiday feature noticed the collection of vintage holiday post cards lining our dining room mantle. This was something we did our very first Christmas at the Beekman when we had few furnishings, and even fewer decorations. I remembered the stack of various holiday post cards in the attic [...]
