From Farm to Fortune: The Inspiring Story of Dr. Brent Ridge & Beekman 1802
Discover how Dr. Brent Ridge—a former Mount Sinai physician and VP at Martha Stewart Omnimedia—turned a financial crisis into a $100M global beauty and lifestyle brand.
When Brent and his husband, Josh Kilmer-Purcell, lost their corporate jobs in 2008, they faced losing their historic farm in Sharon Springs, NY. What started with a herd of goats and a supportive community became Beekman 1802—a movement built on creativity, resilience, and kindness.
From soap-making to e-commerce, their journey was chronicled on The Fabulous Beekman Boys, the first nationally broadcast TV show featuring a gay couple. Today, Brent shares timeless principles in his book G.O.A.T. WISDOM, showing how authenticity and neighborly values can lead to lasting success.
