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.

Water

Last week our off grid water system broke leaving us with no water. We have since installed a 100 gallon temporary gravity fed water barrel system that allows us to have about 25-30 psi plumed directly into our house. Will gravity fed water allow us to run our washing machine?
