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.

Putting a Wall Back on a Foundation

Putting a Wall Back on a Foundation

As we were cleaning out 10 years of accumulated stuff in our barn, we discovered one load-bearing wall had fallen off the foundation. We show you how we approached trying to salvage the barn shed which involved calling on a friend for some engineering help and applying a lot of on-the-spot problem solving.
