Country star Brantley Gilbert has built a life for himself on his South Georgia farm and does everything in his power not to leave it.
During an interview with Fox News Digital, Gilbert â who recently became an investor and equity partner of Real American Beer to create a non-alcoholic beer called RAB ZERO â explained that living remotely on a farm allows him to disconnect from the online world. He also explained that checking social media takes “so much” from his kids.
The country star revealed that his three are homeschooled and learn “what kids need to know and not so much what, you know, certain people in this world feel like they’d like them to know.”
“Im kind of â when I come off the road, like, these shows and being out here on the road is my ‘wild and crazy’ now,” Gilbert began, noting that he is 14 years sober.
“I get back home, I dont really leave the farm. Im not â and this is probably not a great thing to say for what I do for a living, but man, I dont live on social media. I actually barely ever look at it,” he continued. “Just as a husband and a father of three, you know, between that and the music business, I dont really have enough time and enough effort to put into something that could take so much away from them.”
Brantley shared that now that his tour is over, he really only leaves his farm to or go to ball games.
“And outside of that, man, I dont really leave the farm much,” he said.
An average day on Gilbert’s farm could have its own TV show, according to the country music star.
Gilbert explained that his father and brother both work on his farm while his wife Amber runs a . The couple’s kids, Barrett and Braylen, are enrolled at the school and only attend three days a week.
Amber shared some information about the academy on Instagram in 2023, explaining that she never considered homeschooling her kids until 2020.Â
They wanted structure, socialization, and a Christian education for their kids, while also having concerns about public school exposure and strict attendance policies that wouldnt accommodate touring. After learning about hybrid homeschooling from friends at Turning Point USA, she visited Learn Upstate Hybrid Academy in Anderson, SC, and found it to be a refreshing solution she highly recommends.

“She actually started a school three years ago. Its like a homeschool school â teaching kids what kids need to know and not so much what, you know, certain people in this world feel like theyd like them to know. Its a really important thing, so I try to help out there where I can. I believe shes doing something extremely important there,” Gilbert said.
“So, they call Mondays and Fridays ‘work days’ and those are their two favorite days of the week,” Gilbert said of his two oldest kids. “You know, my brother and my dad come pick them up, and they wake up, and theyre out the door a million miles an hour, and they actually have them working. And they get to play, but they have to work first.”
Gilbert said this into him by his grandfather and now his father has done a “pretty good job” of passing it on to his kids.
Aside from country music and family, Gilbert decided to partner with Real American Beer to create a non-alcoholic beer called RAB ZERO. Gilbert told Fox News Digital that he was always a fan of (the founder of Real American Beer) and when the opportunity presented itself for the country star to become an investor, he couldn’t pass it up.
