It’s now a familiar story: what started as a weekend getaway grew into a reality television series and a lifestyle brand inspired by their rural adventures. And now the Beekman Boys, whose farm and mercantile have become a tourist destination, are coming to Genesee Country Village & Museum.
The NYC-boys-turned-goat-husbandry founders, Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge, will visit the museum Saturday, October 6, for an afternoon of discussion, shopping, and product sampling.
Their presentation from 1 to 2 p.m. at the museum’s Banquet & Conference Center will be followed by a meet-and-greet and merchandise signing.
An extensive collection of Beekman 1802 items including their cookbook, skincare products, food, and their famous goat milk soap will be available.
Admission to the talk and meet-and-greet is $10 for the general public and $8 for GCV&M members and will include a “goodie bag” with treats and discounts. Space is limited and tickets, available online at www.gcv.org, must be purchased in advance. Call 294-8218 for more information.
The program is not included in admission for the museum’s Fall Festival & Agricultural Fair that occurs that weekend, October 6 and 7.
