“When Josh Kilmer-Purcell and his partner, Brent Ridge, went apple-picking in upstate New York, they didn’t expect to end up buying a two-hundred-year-old mansion and becoming weekend farmers; savvy business owners of Beekman 1802, which sells locally crafted goods; and hosts of their own reality TV show. Their unexpected adventure provides endless material for Kilmer-Purcell’s memoir, a side-splittingly hilarious yet also thoughtful read for armchair farmers and anyone who dreams of making a life change.”—Tiffany, Grass Roots Books & Music, Corvallis, OR
