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.

Composting 101: Build a Quick WWII Compost Pile For Your Garden

During WW2, the British Ministry of Agriculture created videos and brochures to help average people grow gardens using minimal supplies. Based on a 1941 video, we recreate a quick and organic compost pile for use on our homestead that can be set up in 5 minutes.
