Book: The Bucolic Plague
Title:
The Bucolic Plague: How Two Manhattanites Became Gentlemen Farmers: An Unconventional Memoir
Author:
Josh Kilmer-Purcell
Review:
- Josh writes about the story of how he ended up buying a 200 year old mansion with 60 acres in New York state with his partner Brent
- This book is clear about the ups and downs of owning land, ageing buildings and the pressure it puts on finances and relationships
- Beekman 1802 is now a brand that has helped revitalized Sharon Springs (the closest town to the mansion) with a Mercantile and festivals attended by thousands of visitors
- The author is funny and the book is enjoyable to read (it’s also available as an audiobook)
