I controversially placed a tax on something that was very popular, but I made sure that I was exempt.

What is the name of the village near the famous new age community in the UK? The community was famous for growing huge vegetables by co-operating with 'nature spirits.' Locals claim that horse manure was responsible for the extraordinary growth of the vegetables.
