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:
“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
