What Vibe Yoga does

The Barn at Smith Acres is a family-owned farm school and homestead operating from a private residence at 6470 Buckingham Road in Fort Myers, Florida. Founded in 2018 by Dan Smith (24+ years U.S. Marine Corps/Army service) and Lindsay Smith (23 years in hospitality before a stroke-led career pivot), the business delivers hands-on agricultural education on a working farm with 10 horses and 100+ animals across 10-15 species. Programs span ages 3 to adult, including Junior Ag-Venturer, Elementary Agricultural Science, and Teen Applied Agricultural Science homeschool classes held as 6-week sessions (e.g., Elementary tier at $410 per 6-week session), summer camps, horseback riding lessons, group farm tours and field trips, children's birthday parties ($499 for 2.5 hours), and event venue rentals ($500 weekday / $1,200 weekend for 4 hours plus $150/hour overage). A direct-to-consumer meat vertical sells pasture-raised beef, pork, lamb, and chicken with deposit-based ordering and USDA-inspected processing.

The business runs on a direct-to-consumer go-to-market via a GoDaddy-hosted website, Google Forms registration, and GoDaddy Booking checkout, with no third-party resellers. It is a registered SUFS (Step Up For Students) Direct Pay vendor, accepting PEP and UA scholarship funds across farm school, summer camp, and riding registrations, which is a meaningful channel into state-funded education spend. Marketing is limited to organic Facebook and Instagram, email, and word-of-mouth within the homeschool community; there is no paid acquisition. Operations are constrained to a single site and are family-delivered, with the founders as the primary instructors and operators. The company is privately held, family-owned, and based in Florida, USA, with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A, or external investors.
