Welcome to Guildbrook Farm

Guildbrook Farm is a modern homestead in the foothills of Appalachia. We take our audience along on a journey to become more self-reliant by growing our own organic produce, raising animals for dairy and eggs, preparing food for long-term storage, and building off the grid renewable energy systems. In 2017, we moved to raw land where we are building a debt-free energy efficient and disaster resistant ICF mountain home. Join us as we learn to live a simple, sustainable lifestyle.

Adding Ducks and a Goose to Our Homestead

Adding Ducks and a Goose to Our Homestead

We added ducks and a goose to our homestead! We show you why we wanted ducks and geese, what breeds, how we raised them, problems we had, and how we successfully integrated them into our flock of chickens.
