    Merry Little Christmas

    BY:Josh and Brent

    The magic of Christmas in any city includes the twinkling lights and the elaborate holiday display windows, but just because we lack the financial resources and huge walls of plate glass doesn’t mean we can’t make our little “Five and Ten” glisten once again. Last year we simultaneously made fun of the idea of Black [...]

    The Rookery Wreath

    BY:Josh and Brent

    The dropping of the leaves in autumn reveals an entirely new beautiful layer of nature. A crunchy walk around the farm always reveals some of the abandoned construction projects of Spring and Summer – birds nests. Often the approaching winds of winter knock some of them to the ground, and we love collecting them to [...]

    The Farmer’s Prayer

    BY:Josh and Brent

    For every special event in Sharon Springs, we try to decorate the windows of the Mercantile with an appropriate theme. The Mercantile is housed in an old hotel building and not a storefront with traditional plate glass.   Instead we have a long row of windows and storm windows. Because window decorations are both temporary and [...]

    Garden-Inspired

    BY:Josh and Brent

      When we were younger, Christmas seemed always to be forever and a day away.  We started counting the days as soon as the last present under the tree was unwrapped. Silly kids. Now the day we long for is when the garden is at its peak and the harvest an embarrassment of riches unlike [...]

    Music in the Air

    BY:Angela Rae Berg

      Upon returning from our excursion to China last year, I sent a gift to Brent that I knew he would enjoy.  Natalie Merchant had recently released the album Leave Your Sleep, and I sent it over to the Beekman in hopes it would keep him in peaceful mood as he caught up on the [...]

    Hyde Hall

    BY:Mitchell Owens

      Since childhood I’ve been obsessed with historic houses, whether modest or magnificent. Much of this passion has to do with the intriguing stories old houses have to tell—after all, one can swoon over a building’s architectural style but the narrative behind its creation is what gives it life. Which explains why I fell madly [...]

    Love Me Knots

    BY:Josh and Brent

    Somewhere in the corner, there’s usually a box sitting undisturbed.  Neatly folded, ironed and starched, pieces of linen, clothwork and lace are housed in plastic zip lock bags.  When opened, a whisper of air rushes out making a sound vaguely like the words “use me”. Like most others, when browsing through antique stores we would [...]

    Good Enough to Eat

    BY:Josh and Brent

    Generally, when we are entertaining at the farm we’ve already put in a full day of chores in addition to preparing the meal.  Decorating the table usually entails a last minute rush out to the flower garden. One recent evening we used crystal dessert cups and single peony blossoms at each place setting. You can [...]

    Take a look around the NYC apartment that Josh calls home during the week.    It’s small, efficient, and the minimal clutter makes it easy to keep tidy. Now take a “behind the scenes” look at parts of the Beekman Mansion that you may have never seen before

    Firefly Candles

    BY:Josh and Brent

      One of the delirious memories of childhood summer evenings was capturing fireflies.  Of course, we had no idea how inhumane it was to put them in a jar and watch them slowly suffocate on our bedside table.  Such is the innocence of children. Warm weather will bring thousands of lightening bugs to the fields [...]
