Newhouse Farm is the home of Dick Strawbridge and his son James, and is where much of the filming for all 3 series of It's Not Easy Being Green occurred. The Strawbridges run eco courses at the farm in order "to share our experiences, demonstrate all the systems we have invested in, and offer eco advice". The courses include how to make your own biodiesel, harness wind power, make the most of water power, and eco-engineering. All the courses are led by either Dick Strawbridge or his son James.
Newhouse Farm is currently for sale. It's unclear whether the courses mentioned above are still being run, but the Newhouse Farm website has been replaced with an advertisement for the sale and a link to the estate agent.

Famous quotes containing the word farm:
“We are often struck by the force and precision of style to which hard-working men, unpracticed in writing, easily attain when required to make the effort. As if plainness and vigor and sincerity, the ornaments of style, were better learned on the farm and in the workshop than in the schools. The sentences written by such rude hands are nervous and tough, like hardened thongs, the sinews of the deer, or the roots of the pine.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
