Invitation to Sharon Springs Garden Festival"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>This might sound just a little bit silly but I&#8217;ve been tweeting with the Fabulous Beekman Boys. Don&#8217;t know who they are? They are two city boys who moved to Upstate NY to start a goat farm and they have a show on Planet Green. Josh Kilmer-Purcell and his partner Brent Ridge moved to Sharon Springs NY and bought an old farm called that Beekman Mansion. The show on Planet Green is part documentary, part comedy and all heart. The Fabulous Beekman Boys chronicles the lives of these two urbanites trying to make a go of it as gentleman farmers, raising goats, making soap and cheese and trying to get far enough ahead that Josh can quit his 9-5 advertising job in Manhattan.<br \/>\nBut the show isn&#8217;t all about them. Its also about the little town of Sharon Springs NY which is about an hour from Saratoga, near Cooperstown. In one of my tweets I told them that we are planning a trip to Sharon Springs so that I can write a piece for my blog. They tweeted back that we should come for The Garden Festival on Memorial Day weekend and invite all of Saratoga Springs to come too. So that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m doing&#8230;. Everyone in Saratoga Springs now has an official invitation to come to Sharon Springs this weekend for the Garden Festival courtesy of the Fabulous Beekman Boys!!! Explore the town, get a bite to eat at one of the great restaurants and meet over 40 artisans that call Sharon Springs home. The event runs both Saturday and Sunday from 10-5. Brent will be at the Mercantile (the shop they own called The Beekman 1802) and Josh will be at the farm giving tours (tickets had to be purchased in advance and sorry to say I missed this) so I&#8217;m hoping to get to have at least a brief conversation with Brent while I&#8217;m picking out my soap!<br \/>\nThere are lots of things to do in the Sharon Springs area and Schoharie County and its close enough that you can go back to explore and explore. So come to Sharon Springs &#8211; hope to see you all there!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This might sound just a little bit silly but I&#8217;ve been tweeting with the Fabulous Beekman Boys.
