OK, happy days. I found this handy little snippet. I applied it, changed out the values with mine and added it to my functions.php file.

	// populate acf field (select_post) with post types (clients)

	function acf_load_select_post( $field ) {
		$field['choices'] = get_post_type_values( 'clients' );
		return $field;
	}
	add_filter( 'acf/load_field/name=select_post', 'acf_load_select_post' );

	function get_post_type_values( $post_type ) {
		$values = array();
		$defaults = array(
			'post_type' => $post_type,
			'post_status' => 'publish',
			'posts_per_page' => -1,
			'orderby' => 'title',
			'order' => 'ASC'
		);
		$query = new WP_Query( $defaults );
		if ( $query->found_posts > 0 ) {
			foreach ( $query->posts as $post ) {
				$values[get_the_title( $post->ID )] = get_the_title( $post->ID );
			}
		}
		return $values;
	}

This populates the Select field on the page called Home. Huzzah!

Now I just need to create my home page template to populate the page with the content of the selection. That would be the index.php file, right?
