The Series takes place at historic and picturesque Glen Farm, the last 100 acres of what was once a 700-acre manorial farm whose history dates back to the 1600's.  Its classical stone barns from the Gilded Age and its park-like grounds were acquired by the Town of Portsmouth who gave a 25-year old developer named Dan Keating the chance to rescue it from ruins and rehabilitate the property, which thrives today as a vital equestrian and recreational property for the community and the jewel of Portsmouth.
