Our Mission 

Whether it's planting seeds, raising animals, or making butter from milk, every activity is an opportunity to learn, grow, and find strength in both nature and themselves. We embrace the joy of teamwork and encourage kids to take risks, nurture animals, and engage in light chores that teach responsibility and work ethic.

Our mission is to empower children through real-life experiences that foster curiosity, creativity, and resilience. Here, we build more than knowledge—we build relationships, confidence, and a sense of community. Our farm school is a place where kids learn the value of hard work, compassion, and collaboration, all while creating lasting friendships. With gratitude for the land, animals, and the support of our community, we invite you to join us on this journey, where nature’s gifts shape the future of our next generation.

👨‍👩‍👧 Built for Community

At Florida Farm School, learning is collaborative. Parents, kids, and mentors work side-by-side, building lasting friendships and a village-style support system rooted in family-centered homeschooling.

🐓 Real Farm Tasks  

  Children don’t just learn about life skills—they live them. Whether it’s collecting eggs, building compost, or planting crops, every day is an opportunity for hands-on homeschool learning grounded in real-world experiences.

  🌱 Nature-Based Learning

Our outdoor classroom isn’t just a concept—it’s the real deal. Students spend their days surrounded by gardens, animals, and open skies, making Florida Farm School a top choice for nature-based homeschool programs.

✏️ We Accept Step Up for Students  

Florida Farm School is proud to be a Step Up For Students Direct Pay Provider. That means eligible families can apply scholarship funds directly—making this enriching experience more accessible than ever.  Learn how to get started below.

What Makes Us Different 

Nurturing Nature

The true heart of our farm school lies in the land and the animals that call it home. Our livestock are more than just part of the farm – they are teachers, companions, and healers. We’ve watched timid children grow brave, finding peace and confidence in the quiet presence of a cow or the soft feathers of a chicken. There’s nothing quite like the moment when a child who once feared animals swings in a hammock, cradling her favorite chicken, giggling with joy.

The bond between kids, animals, and nature is transformative. Days spent outdoors under open skies, exploring, laughing, and learning, leave an imprint that lasts a lifetime. The farm is more than a classroom – it’s a sanctuary where kids discover the gifts of nature, the comfort of animals, and the resilience within themselves. It’s these moments, rooted in the land and nurtured by love, that define the magic of our farm school.

Skillful Synergy

At Florida Farm School, our farm-based education is rooted in connection, collaboration, and hands-on learning. Whether students are collecting eggs, building a structure, or tending to animals, our outdoor classroom encourages teamwork and real-world problem-solving. It’s a space where creativity, critical thinking, and cooperative learning naturally flourish.

There’s something powerful about kids working side by side in nature. They develop not only valuable life skills and confidence but also form strong friendships and a deeper appreciation for diversity and compassion. Here, we’re growing future leaders—grounded in kindness and community.

Every day brings new opportunities to engage, explore, and learn by doing in a nurturing farm school environment.

Engaged Enrichment

At our farm school, we believe that the best learning happens when students are fully immersed in the process. Our hands-on approach encourages children to touch, feel, and actively engage with their environment, sparking curiosity and fostering a deeper understanding of the world around them. From planting seeds to working with animals, each experience is designed to captivate their interest and ignite a love for learning.

When students explore through experimentation and discovery, they retain knowledge in a meaningful way. They’re not just observing—they’re doing. They’re solving problems, asking questions, and building connections that stick with them far beyond the farm. This enriching, interactive learning process helps students grow confidence, creativity, and a sense of responsibility, leaving them inspired and eager to take on new challenges.
