    ‘Twas the Night

    BY:Josh and Brent

    ‘Twas two years ago In old Sharon Springs Two boys did appear, Along with their things. City slickers turned farmers Who hadn’t a clue But Farmer John and the internet Taught them what to do. They were bested by pigs And challenged by llama, But in their fabulous way They handled the drama. Tonight! Josh [...]

We hope these images of The Beekman at Christmas inspires joy and celebration for your own holiday To see more images [...]

    Aural Decor

    BY:Josh and Brent

    One of the easiest (and cheapest) ways to decorate any space is by filling it with music.   Using our laptop computer and wireless speakers, we can set up a sound scape throughout the house with just the touch of the button.  Guests are often humorously called to breakfast with the “Call To The Cows” section [...]

    A Black Christmas

    BY:Josh and Brent

    Walking down Fifth Avenue to admire the windows has always been a holiday pilgrimage, so is there any doubt that this being the first Christmas for the Beekman 1802 Mercantile that we felt a little pressured to bring this “downstate” spectacle to Sharon Springs? Because this is the first year of the Sharon Springs Victorian [...]

    Tack-fully

    BY:Josh and Brent

    We had an extra poster of William Beekman at the Mercantile.  Rather than leave it rolled up in the corner, we decided to hang it on the wall in the packaging room.   But hanging on the wall with a bit of double stick taped, Willy looked a little unfinished.  We knew he would not appreciate [...]

    The Four Seasons

    BY:Josh and Brent

    Before we ever started designing and creating products, we started our website to chronicle our attempt a “seasonal living”. To us this meant taking the time to acknowledge what makes each season beautiful, important, and astounding.  We soon realized that developing a keen sense of appreciation necessarily meant taking the time in each season to [...]

    Inspired!

    BY:Josh and Brent

    We always find creative inspiration around the farm and are thrilled when others do. Artist Mary Connell Gaynor takes her inspiration from life. She is known for her sensitive pastel portraits of children which she has been creating for 30 years. Mary approaches her studies of animals with that same gentle passion. “I love the [...]

    Pick a Peck of Peppers

    BY:Josh and Brent

    Any time we’re called upon to make a table centerpiece, we always make a dash out to the garden—both the flower and the vegetable gardens–to see what’s there to inspire us. An abundance of peppers in the vegetable garden led to these fiery creations. As you are putting your peppers into the vase, press them [...]

    What’s In Store

    BY:Dr. Brent

    When we started Beekman 1802, we never imagined opening a bricks and mortar store.  The  bricks and mortar of the farm were  all we would need to run our internet-based business.   But as fortune would have it, our little farm-based business continued to grow.  We added more artists from the community as we developed new [...]

    Springing to Action

    BY:Josh and Brent

    Last year, right around this time, photographer Chris Altamari paid a visit to the farm to take some photos. Of course, his pending visit prompted a mad rush to get the house cleaned.  (Winter on a farm is a dirty thing.) Now that Spring has once again come to the Beekman we took out the [...]
