Florida Farm School: Connecting Kids to Nature, Confidence, and Community

In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Sarah Jones, founder of Florida Farm School, to explore how one woman’s vision turned a simple piece of land into a transformative learning environment for children. Born from a deep respect for nature and a desire to help kids reconnect with the world around them, Florida Farm School is a place where education, healing, and agriculture meet.

🌿 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
• How the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic inspired Sarah to create an indoor petting store—and how that pivot laid the groundwork for something much bigger.
• Sarah’s journey from personal sacrifice to purpose, fueled by the healing power of nature and the unique, profound connection between children and animals.
• Why working with non-verbal and special needs children opened her eyes to the emotional and developmental strength farm experiences offer.
• How farm chores, feeding animals, and making butter build more than just skills—they build resilience, confidence, and teamwork.
• The role of agriculture as a healing industry—a place where love, loss, and responsibility create opportunities to grow emotionally and spiritually.
• A real look at sustainability and where food comes from, shared in age-appropriate, hands-on ways that make kids feel empowered and engaged.
• The importance of community in farming and in life, and why Sarah believes kids are naturally curious, compassionate, and ready to learn when given the chance.

🐐 Key Takeaway:
At Florida Farm School, nature is the teacher—and every child is given the space to grow, take risks, care for animals, and learn the real-life lessons that don’t come from textbooks. It’s a place of love, learning, and legacy.
