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.

Pouring the First Floor Concrete Forms

It's February 28th, 2020 and freezing out, but today we are pouring concrete in the 6 inch ICF first floor of our DIY mountain homestead. With Foxblocks insulated concrete forms, we are building a simple, sustainable, energy efficient home that should stand the test of time and brave the elements for decades to come.
