A little about the Ranch & Retreat...

We Welcome You with Love to the Wilder Side of Florida

• Located in rural Dade City, FL - 1 Hour North of the Tampa Airport

• Pastures reflective of a cattle ranch from a 100 years ago

• Wetlands and oak hammocks, both on the Ranch and in the adjoining Green Swamp, unchanged for a much longer period

Carefully and lovingly built residences

The homes at the Retreat were built with care by the Blanchard and Rice families. They continue to be used from time to time by members of the Rice family, who are integral members of the LER&R ministry team. Combined the residences can accommodate up to 30 guests.

An operating cattle ranch

Most importantly...

A beautiful and tranquil portion of God’s creation, where the closeness and brilliance of the stars at night inspire awe and praise for the Creator and where guests can rest, study, pray, meditate, and relax - or fellowship with our ministry members and affiliates.

Designed for those in full time ministry...

LER & R has been put in place to offer those in full time Christian ministry a place they can recover and focus on God in a simple environment away from many distractions.
