In 2006, Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge didn't have visions of becoming entrepreneurs with a goat milk skincare and body care brand. They fell in love with the town, and on their drive out, with a property for sale: Beekman Farm, its house built in 1802. "We lost our jobs within 30 days of each other, and we had this new mortgage — we had to pay [off] the farm," Kilmer-Purcell says. Now, Beekman 1802 has sold more than 60 million bars of that soap and surpassed $150 million in sales.
