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.

New Homestead: Are We Going To Have a Garden This Year?

We moved to raw land in November to become more self-sustainable. The big question we keep getting asked is: since we are starting a new homestead, are we going to have a garden this year (with everything else going on)? We answer this question and talk about some options for those that don't have the time or space for a garden.
