The star of Prime Video’s June Farms tells Out why he thinks he’ll never get married.
Matt Baumgartner is a lot of things. He’s a self-described “serial entrepreneur,” an animal lover, a farm owner, an experienced event planner, and now also the star of Prime Video’s June Farms.
Located in the beautiful Hudson Valley in New York, June Farms is a property that spans 120 acres and includes a farm, restaurant/bar, and event space. Visitors from across the country come to the farm to enjoy nature, see the animals, and stay in unique rooms while being treated like royalty. Between wealthy travelers, occasional celebrities, and fancy wedding parties, June Farms is an exciting destination for people who wish to connect with nature and be transported to a different world.
At any given time, Baumgartner is seen juggling unpredictable weather, demanding visitors/clients, vendors unable to deliver on expectations, and a property where he’s responsible for several animals. To do so, the June Farms owner manages a team of well-meaning young professionals that he considers to be his chosen family. Yet, like most families, there’s drama — particularly when this group of employees don’t agree with Baumgartner’s intense focus on details.
In an interview, Baumgartner tells Out about his experiences growing up in the 1990s, coming out as a gay man, experiencing so many entrepreneurial journeys, and how his vision for June Farms evolved over time. Plus, the entrepreneur and TV star reveals why he thinks— despite being a successful, charismatic, and handsome man who’s a bona fide expert at weddings — he’ll never actually get married himself.
