Posted By Nikko - Sun, Aug 29 2010 at 2:20 PM ESTThey sell their goat soap, goat cheese and a few other select products.
Thanks!

Meat eaters?
Posted By Country Boy - Sun, Aug 29 2010 at 12:26 PM ESTYes they are meat eaters and fudge packers in the same breath. Two homosexuals that cry over an animal dying so they can eat. Maybe the city slickers need to move more to the country to see how meat gets to their fancy restraunts.
City people are so far in the dark thats why the phrase "country boy will survive" is oh so true!
Hey maybe these two homesexuals will explore how baby pigs are born. It sure isn't from two bores poking at each other in the ***. Its male and female.... More
You don't know jack!
Posted By Who Cares? - Sun, Aug 29 2010 at 2:35 PM ESTCountry Boy,
The show does not promote a vegan lifestyle, but it does promote better care/conditions for farm animals. You're probably homophobic because you're scared of what you may really be deep down inside. Just accept the fact that there are people different from you in this world. Would you not eat a meal if you knew it had been prepared by a gay person? How would you even know? Well, in all the meals that you have eaten in your lifetime, there's a good chance that at least a few of.... More
Live and Let Live
Posted By JADEWIND - Sun, Aug 29 2010 at 1:25 PM ESTWhy can't you concentrate on your own life, and let these guys live and enjoy their lives? No one invited you to this site! I am a retired [female] nurse, have three children and four grandchildren, and am a very open-minded person.
I love these guys, and support them whole-heartedly. Their show provides laughter and a welcomed change of pace from all the UGLYNESS going on in this cruel world. I'm sure there are enough people, gay and straight, that love this show as much as I do,.... More
STOP HATING
Posted By RhodyBoy - Sun, Aug 29 2010 at 12:38 PM ESTCAN PEOPLE LIKE YOU FIND MORE PRODUCTIVE WAYS TO USE YOUR MIND INSTEAD OF HATING? LOVE IS LOVE. LIFE AND NATURE PROVES THAT. IT`S NOT ALL ABOUT PROCREATION. IN CASE YOU JUST AWOKE FROM A NASTY COMA, WERE NOT TRYING TO POPULATE THE PLANET ANYMORE. TOO MUCH HUMAN BREEDING AS FAR AS I`M CONCERNED. AND I HIGHLY DOUBT OUR CREATER WANTS US TO JUDGE EACH OTHER. TRY TO OPEN YOUR MIND AND BE KIND TO PEOPLE.YOUR ANGER HAS NO GOOD USE IN THIS WORLD. YOUR STYLE OF THOUGHT IS WHAT CREATES ALL OF THE....

AMEN!
Posted By JADEWIND - Sun, Aug 29 2010 at 1:28 PM ESTYou put into words, my feelings, and those of many others. It feels good to see so many people feel as we do! Please see my comments as well. : )
Kudos!
Posted By Bev - Sat, Aug 28 2010 at 9:15 PM ESTI watched the show for the first time last Wednesday! I was immediately
enthralled with the energy of Josh and Brent, and Farmer John and the goats.
Too bad it seems to be the last episode this year; I will look forward to the next season. It really does show respect for farming,the hard work that goes into it,
the imagination of the two men and how they are going to be successful.
Keerp going green! Kudos on your show! Bev in Laguna Beach California

Finally, Humane Treatment For Farm Animals
Posted By Nikko - Wed, Aug 11 2010 at 2:05 AM ESTMy wife and I like this show for so many reasons and none of them are for or against homosexuality. We believe that people are entitled to be who and what they want to be. It makes no difference to us that Josh and Brent are gay. It's just really nice to see farm animals being so well cared for in a world where so many of them are abused. I am impressed how city dwellers can take on a farm and make it a successful business that seems a very inviting place to live. If I could only give up my job.... More
LIVE AND LET LIVE

Love the Show
Posted By farmerwantabe - Tue, Aug 10 2010 at 11:46 PM ESTI love your show. I made my husband and cousin watch an episode and I have decided that the three of us are moving to a farm and "living off the land".
I LMAO
Posted By becky - Sun, Aug 08 2010 at 6:18 PM ESTThis show is funny and refreshing. I adore Farmer John ..Mwah!
farmer john!
Posted By lyndasbramlett@hotmail.com - Sat, Aug 07 2010 at 10:58 PM ESTI wish someone would feel so much love for me when someone thought of me like you do with the goats! Love you farmer john.
love them
Posted By oneazspirit - Wed, Aug 04 2010 at 6:20 PM ESTLove the show. Love the guys!! Can I move in for a week in the Fall. I'm in Az. now and miss the colors?
My new favorite show
Posted By shellie - Sat, Jul 31 2010 at 11:53 AM ESTJust discovered it and I look forward to seeing lots more!
What?
Posted By lyndasbramlett@hotmail.com - Fri, Jul 30 2010 at 12:50 AM ESTYou guys are so funny. And the family I never had. Love yall!!!!!!
ABOMINATION!
Posted By GodGunsGutsGlory - Sat, Jul 24 2010 at 8:37 PM ESTI was looking into some show about abortion and saw the commercial for this show based on a pair of filthy sodomites!
I see their future. It contains FIRE and BRIMSTONE!
As does anyone else here who promotes filthy faggotism!
SAD..........
Posted By JADEWIND - Sun, Aug 29 2010 at 1:33 PM ESTTHAT YOU FEEL THIS WAY, AND FEEL YOU ARE "HOLIER THAN THOU."
YOU ARE PATHETIC....I WILL PRAY FOR YOUR PITIFUL SOUL, IF YOU HAVE ONE.......
let people live- stop condemning
Posted By Ron Bass - Wed, Aug 11 2010 at 9:33 PM ESTYou know religions don't condemn, so why are you? You committing some of the worst abominations possible - that of condeming someone and not accepting them as they are. If you dont like two people being happy in a committed relationship, dont buy the soap!!
Awwwwww
Posted By Anonymous - Sat, Jul 31 2010 at 12:03 PM ESTSomeone needs a big hug.
(And a hobby that does not involve trolling the internet 24/7. It's just not healthy.)
really!
Posted By lyndasbramlett@hotmail.com - Tue, Jul 27 2010 at 8:36 PM ESTreally, people still think like this?
Fire and brimstone?
Posted By lyndasbramlett@hotmail.com - Sun, Jul 25 2010 at 12:17 AM ESTBuy whose judgment was this made? I have watched every show and have yet to see abortion. Filthy and sodomite, when? Who are you, have you checked the mirror lately ? and have you seen a saint?
poke a spot!
Posted By lyndasbramlett@hotmail.com - Fri, Jul 23 2010 at 11:32 PM ESTWhats the need for two animals? They make a point and so does the animals!
polka spot
Posted By Gladys McMilleon - Wed, Jul 21 2010 at 2:21 PM ESTWhy is there only one llama? I would think knowing the way you guys feel - you would have at least another llama to keep Polka Spot company. Also, please make sure the goats keeps away from Polka Spot at meal times.
solo act
Posted By skippygonefarmin - Thu, Aug 05 2010 at 4:21 PM ESTLlamas are often used as guard animals for sheep and goats. They seem to enjoy the job, but they only do it if they are the only llama. Oddly, if there is another llama, the two of them focus only on each other, and ignore the sheep and goats.
Those Two
Posted By LaVonne - Tue, Jul 20 2010 at 8:57 AM ESTThis is the most creative show on television, ever. Those Two boys are just wonderful, so warm, intelligent and funny as hell. Keep religion and judgement out of this! I look forward to each new episode and watch the re-runs as they make me laugh. Good job Josh and Brent.
great surprise
Posted By patricia scalise - Sat, Jul 17 2010 at 8:01 PM ESTi knew of the show but........havent watched it until this evening....i love it.....living in the area (utica) holds special interest and im finding the whole concept of the show very fresh.....i would have loved to have volunteered to wrap the soap and look forward to visiting and purchasing some.....i love you guys and your goats are wild.............
Where is the fabulousness?
Posted By AJM in The OC - Sat, Jul 17 2010 at 7:09 PM ESTI enjoy the show very much, but I question whether the relationship between Josh and Brent will survive. Their jobs seem to be priority #1 rather than their relationship. You can see the strain and stress in every show. I have yet to see the "fabulous" side of the Beekman boys. BTW I made an online purchase of their goat soap for my partner's birthday. He loves it! I'd order their goat cheese, but we can't eat that large amount. If you're a fan, I encourage you to show your support by.... More
Fabulous!!!!!
Posted By lyndasbramlett@hotmail.com - Sat, Jul 17 2010 at 8:46 PM ESTYes, in every show if you are open you can see the love! Do we have to have our tongue down each others mouth for it to be love? Everybody has a life! Different than the next, but, then how do you learn from the mistakes? Thank God someone is putting their work as a priority. Who pays the bills if not?
What???
Posted By lyndasbramlett@hotmail.com - Wed, Jul 14 2010 at 9:50 PM ESTWhy would you even say anything about gay? We are all GODS children! The Beekmans are our family! Thank the Lord for that!

Posted By lyndasbramlett@hoymail.com - Wed, Jul 14 2010 at 9:44 PM ESTIt was so funny calling farmer John a pimp! I have 10 grandchildren and I can't wait for them to see a positive roll ,,a positive relationship, between two people!!! Love,love you guys!!!!
2 thumbs up
Posted By Tonya - Thu, Jul 08 2010 at 4:26 PM ESTI think your show is awesome but why is gay the issue I thought it was 2 city boys turned farmers (I thought you were brothers till a bit ago
I think people need to leave race, gender and sexual preference out of things maybe then life would just be life and be enjoyed instead of wasting time arguing!
I'd like it if.....
Posted By Janet - Mon, Jul 05 2010 at 8:42 PM ESTthere was a lot less bickering from the Bickersons!
I'd like it if..
Posted By Bonita - Sun, Jul 11 2010 at 8:26 PM ESTNo, This is the gay Bikersons and I loved the Bikersons and I love the Beekman Boys
To damn cute!
Posted By balledina - Mon, Jul 05 2010 at 7:43 PM ESTI totally enjoy the show and getting to know Brent and Josh...best to you both! See you at the 2nd Harvest Feast in Sharon, I can't wait. xoxo
Art imitating life
Posted By Kent - Wed, Jun 30 2010 at 4:03 PM ESTCongrats to Planet Green for putting this on the air. Recently several of our friends have emailed us the link to this TV show so the show seems to be catching on. My long time partner and I just bought a small farm outside Austin, TX so we can raise dairy goats, chickens and live a quiet, rural lifestyle. We just moved from the San Francisco bay area. We are very much into organic farming but realize there is a lot to learn. This show is very encouraging and entertaining. See you at the.... More

We make soap!
Posted By Rob & Paul - Thu, Jul 15 2010 at 8:24 AM ESTMy partner, Paul, and I make homemade soaps and candles. They're very high quality, all-natural (nothing artificial, no preservatives), and it's all made in our home. :) We're pretty "green" people. I didn't even know this TV show existed until just this moment when a friend laughed & said "you & Paul are the real Beekman Boys!". I was like, "what?!"

Goatmilk Soap
Posted By Anonymous - Sun, Aug 29 2010 at 1:40 PM ESTIs there a way to order the goatmilk soap they make/sell? I think this would be a great Christmas gift.
