Our story, our mission
Welcome to R&S Homestead, where education meets nature in Interlachen, Fl. Discover what inspired us, what makes our farm school special, and our commitment to creating a vibrant community for children to learn and grow. We're building a place where every child can thrive outdoors.
Our inspiration: the joy of nature
R&S Homestead began with a simple observation: the sheer delight our own children experienced when outdoors, learning from and engaging with animals. We realized that not every child has such opportunities in today's world. Our vision was to give back to our community, providing a nurturing space where children can connect with nature, understand farm life, and develop a love for the outdoors, just like our kids did.
A place to belong
What truly makes R&S Homestead special is the atmosphere we cultivate. We want everyone who visits, both children and adults, to feel at home and completely safe as they interact with our animals and learn about farm life. Our goal is to create a community of like-minded individuals who value hands-on learning, natural experiences, and the simple joys of a homestead. Here, you're not just a visitor; you're part of our extended farm family.
Our promise to you
At R&S Homestead, our most important message is that this organization is truly for the children. Their growth, education, and joyful experiences are at the heart of everything we do. We highly value your feedback and see it as essential for us to continuously grow and improve. We are committed to living up to your expectations, providing an educational, engaging, and fun experience for every student who walks through our gates in Interlachen, Fl.
"I absolutely love visiting R&S Homestead! It’s not your typical “smelly farm” with animals roaming wild — everything is clean, well-kept, and clearly loved. I have a 5 and 2 year old, and they look forward to every single visit! You can tell the owners truly care — about their animals, their property, and especially the kids who come to visit. It’s such a welcoming place, and I’m so excited to see all the things they have planned for the future!"
