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.

With just the two of us we managed to pour all 13 footing pads for the porch piers, then began loading, hauling and unloading over 700 semi-solid concrete blocks to stage the job site for the block masons. This was a labor intensive week!
