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.

Seeding, and What Are Grade Stakes?

Seeding, and What Are Grade Stakes?

Now that the weather has cooled off and Autumn has arrived, we are able to get ramped up again and make some serious progress. This week we re-seeded the hill and rolled out some straw mat to help manage erosion. We finished up the week by setting grade stakes in the porch pier footings and are now ready to pour.
