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.

Laying Pipe and Sowing Seed

After clearing more trees, and installing the septic system we started trenching for solar panel conduit and foundation drain lines. Then we graded the steep hillside a bit more to try and reduce the slope so we can drag it smooth, spread 2000 pounds of lime and plant an 80/20 mixture of rye and fescue grass seed. Rye grass germinates in about 4 days to establish roots that help hold the soil in place while the fescue comes in.
