Dr. Brent Ridge Biography

Brent Ridge and his partner, Josh Kilmer-Purcell were typical stressed out New Yorkers who dreamed of a simple life in the country at a cozy weekend home. But the house they purchased in Sharon Springs, N.Y., in 2006, came with an entire farm — and since then, life has been anything but relaxed.

Ridge, a former doctor and vice president for healthy living at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, and Kilmer-Purcell, an advertising executive, made a giant leap of faith and co-founded Beekman 1802, a goat farm and green lifestyle company. Their reality show The Fabulous Beekman Boys, on Discovery's Planet Green network, chronicles their struggles to adapt to country life, and is quickly gaining recognition and fans worldwide
