Do I have to have a family to join?

Not at all! We love having singles to great grand parents and everything in between! Think of Florida Freedom Family as just one big intergenerational family with the crazy uncles, loud sister in laws, and children finding silly tricks to play on their fun loving grandpa with a side of a fun neighbor or two. We’re here for everyone and every stage of life!

How do I find people in my area?

Coming in 2025…we’ll have a new community section of our site that brings you through your badges to then connect you with people in your area. Once your core badge work is done, you’ll be able to see and go to events in your area as you form your own tribe that connects to your village!

(We are also possibly looking at creating our own homeschool pods in 2025 so we have a network actively connecting families with children together.)

Do I need to read the parenting book?

“Hunt, Gather, Parent” is an excellent book that takes us back to the foundations of parenting. Even if your children are grown or you don’t have any yet, it’s the foundation of how we are parenting in Florida Freedom Family. If we’re going to live in community, we’re going to need a culture for our parenting. It’s a core book in our core badge work and all the parents will very much appreciate you reading this!

Do these books have audio versions?

All of the books except for the teen book are available as audiobook and in Spanish.

I’m not much of a reader. Do I need to read all the books listed?

Nope! In 2025, we’re transitioning some of the books to a library section of the community part of the site. Instead, we’ll mostly have Guide Books available that will guide you down the same journey with action steps to take after. The Guide Books are very visual with space for answering introspective questions about yourself and coming up with your action plans almost “mad-libs” style. They’ll tie into our community part of the website that includes badges that unlock more fun in Florida Freedom Family. The book “Hunt, Gather, Parent” by Michaleen Doucleff will continue to be a core book in your core badge work.
