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.

Long term self sustainability starts with soil. Mineral deficiencies in soil can translate to mineral deficiencies in your plants, your livestock, and eventually your food. We show you how we are testing our soil, how we amend our soil, and how that plays a role in us becoming more self sustainable.
