Media Village: On Oct. 6 media giant Meredith is to bring out a new publication, the Beekman 1802 Almanac. It’s intended as a premium product, more akin to a book than a magazine. The publication is a partnership between Meredith and a same-sex married couple, Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge. The couple own and operate a farm in Sharon Springs, N.Y., that has birthed a brand, Beekman 1802, which includes crafts, food, books and personal-care products. They appear on the cover of the premiere issue.
