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.

Six Hundred Feet of Gravel Driveway

In this episode we finish building up the road bed for the driveway, drag the soil smooth with a home made yarrow, and lay down geotextile fabric underlayment for the driveway and parking pads. 181 tons of non-spec gravel in 11 dump trucks and we have a solid, well build mountain driveway.
