I'm a sucker for any of these "urbanites fall in love with a country farm and have zany adventures" stories and this one certainly fits the bill. I liked it a lot, very similar to "Hit by a Farm" including the fact that both stories feature 2 homosexuals from the city going to the country. But both stories also delve into the issues their relationships encounter while trying to make this big change from city to country life. Along the way, there's plenty to laugh about. Wanna-be-farmers will enjoy the story. ( )

nonfiction; memoir (advertising exec and his partner buy historic mansion and become part-time farmers/bloggers/soap-sellers = not all happy goat times, but a thoughtful reflection on life and self). I really liked the goat parts, and liked the comforting friendships found in the small town community. ( )

A friend of mine has been a friend of Josh & Brent for years; I only just met them the passed spring. After meeting the “Beekman Boys” just once I, more or less, fell in love with their honesty — they honestly appear interested in you and who you are. I had to read this book to learn more about them because I was sincerely interested. After reading just a few pages of the book, I wanted to be best friends with Josh. I positively love his writing style and personality!

While reading this book I got the meet the boys again and I sincerely look forward to being neighbors with them and, possibly, developing a friendship with them :-) Excellent book!!

But the amusing side of “The Bucolic Plague” makes up for a lot of lapses. After all, while writing about canning produce, Josh compares skinning tomatoes to “trying to peel leather pants off of a sweaty, hairy, fat guy.” And when he watches a goat give birth to multiple offspring, he is reminded not only of his old drag act but also of clowns getting out of a clown car.
 
Unlike other farming memoirs I’ve read, life for the Beekman Boys is not always smooth – partially by their own mistakes and partially from the pressure they put on themselves. Before moving out to Beekman full-time, Ridge worked and believed in the mantra of Martha Stewart, making him a consummate perfectionist and a contrast to Kilmer-Purcell’s more Oprah-esque “live your best life” philosophy.

For the Honorable William Beekman and all of the past and present citizens of Sharon Springs, who have the old-fashioned decency not to laugh at us to our faces.

This book is not about living your dream. It will not inspire you. You will not be emboldened to attempt anything more than making a fresh pot of coffee.
