  • What is the cost for a foster family to live in one of the mini farm homes?

    Foster families who live in one of the mini farm homes at Echo Lake Farms will be required to sign a two-year lease. To ensure affordability, the rent will be set well below market value, making it accessible for families dedicated to providing a stable, loving environment for foster children. 


    Our goal is to support these families, not only by offering a unique living environment but also by reducing financial stress, allowing them to focus on nurturing and raising the children in their care.

  • How can I support Echo Lake Farms?

    You can support Echo Lake Farms through monetary donations, in-kind contributions of building supplies, or by volunteering your time and expertise. Every contribution helps us build homes, provide resources for foster families, and maintain the community we are creating. Visit our Give or Contact Us page for more information.

  • How does the agricultural setting benefit foster children?

    An agricultural environment offers foster children hands-on experiences that help develop essential life skills, such as responsibility, perseverance, and teamwork. Caring for animals, tending crops, and engaging in daily farm tasks teach valuable lessons while fostering self-confidence and a strong work ethic.

  • Do families need to go through the standard foster parent application process in Florida?

    Yes, all families interested in living at Echo Lake Farms must go through the standard foster parent application and licensing process in Florida. We work closely with local foster care agencies to ensure that every family is properly vetted, trained, and supported. This process helps ensure that foster parents are fully equipped to provide a safe, nurturing, and stable environment for the children they care for. Echo Lake Farms is here to assist families throughout this process and provide ongoing support once they are part of our community.
