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.

Cutting Round Slabs for End Tables and Finally Ready for the WELL!

Cutting Round Slabs for End Tables and Finally Ready for the WELL!

The most challenging tree we've cut so far on the homestead took us almost a week to get through. We cut round slabs with the Stihl MS271 to be used for end tables, and process another 2 cords with the help of the LogOx 3 in 1 Forestry Tool. After 4 months of heavy, hard work we're finally ready to drill a well! Also check out the awesome WoodOX Firewood Carrying Sling.
