The Fabulous Beekman Boys: who says drag queens can’t make good (organic) farmers?
The Beekman Boys: Josh Kilmer-Purcell & Brent Ridge Who says drag queens can’t make good (organic) farmers…? That’s the question I asked myself while watching The Fabulous Beekman Boys on Planet Green. The ‘boys’ are Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge, two very urban gay men in New York. Josh is the former drag queen and Brent is a former ‘vice president of health living’ at Martha Stewart Omnimedia, and the two of them go where no drag queen has ever gone before — to farm country upstate. They find Farmer John, a real farmer who has a herd of goats but no farm. It’s not either of the queens who get teary, it’s Farmer John who nearly breaks down in tears in the first episode (“When Pigs Fly”) as he credits Josh & Brent with saving their lives by giving them a home. If you’re really into goats, you can follow Farmer John’s herd on the Beekman Farm goat cam; now that’s what I’d call a nanny cam~! But if you suspect that the secret life of goats is really far more fascinating than anyone
