Looking For A Farm Near You?
Farms Near Me in Loxahatchee, Palm Beach County
Type “farms near me” or “farm near me” into a map search from Wellington, The Acreage, or Royal Palm Beach, and the honest answer is one address, not a chain of locations: 16140 Okeechobee Blvd, Loxahatchee, Palm Beach County. The Bell Farm sits about 20 minutes from all three of those western communities — close enough that Wellington families use it as a base during Winter Equestrian Festival season instead of a Wellington lease; the exact drive, turn by turn, is broken down in the Winter Equestrian Festival stay guide. From West Palm Beach and the coast, plan on about half an hour east on Southern or Okeechobee Boulevard. There is only one Bell Farm, and it is always in Loxahatchee — a “near me” search from a neighboring town is really asking how far that one working farm is from where you’re standing, and the answer is consistently a short drive, not a second location closer to you.
It’s worth being upfront about what “near me” turns up here, because there’s a real difference between a working farm and a themed event space dressed up with farm decor for the weekend. The Bell Farm is a working farm every day of the week: animals, sugarcane, tropical water lilies, and a working nursery share the property whether or not anyone has an event booked. That’s usually the honest answer to what someone typing “farm near me” is actually hoping to find — somewhere the farm part is true year-round, not a backdrop rented out for a few hours on a Saturday. FDACS registration and Visit Florida Farms membership back that up on paper; walking the property on any ordinary Tuesday backs it up in person.
Most people who find The Bell Farm through a “farms near me” search are looking for one of a handful of things: an overnight farm stay in the Tiny Oasis or Farm Cottage, a farm wedding on the lawn, a private farm-to-table dinner, or an hour at the natural spring soak. All four run out of the same working property in Loxahatchee — the farm stay guide and the farm wedding venue page cover the specifics, the natural spring soak page covers session pricing, and the Winter Equestrian Festival stay guide linked above covers the drive from Wellington in detail. Call (561) 779-3213 to talk through dates, or send the request form on this page.
What’s actually on the property answers the “near me” question directly, without a click-through: the Tiny Oasis Airbnb from $145/night peak, the Farm Cottage (sleeps 4) from $175/night peak, the natural spring soak at $25, $40, or $90 depending on the session, farm weddings and private events from $2,500, private farm-to-table dinners at $150 per person, and AMERICA — the farm’s own food truck — serving walk-up Thursday through Sunday right on site. That’s The Bell Farm in one paragraph: not a directory listing, one working farm in Loxahatchee with all of it under one roof.

About The Bell Farm
The Bell Farm is a working farm at 16140 Okeechobee Blvd in Loxahatchee, Palm Beach County, run by Randolph Scott Bell — an FDACS Registered Agritourism Operator and a Visit Florida Farms member since May 2026. It's a real, working farm rather than a themed venue: animals, sugarcane, tropical water lilies, and a working nursery share the property with two Airbnb units, a wedding lawn, and the farm-to-table kitchen. Guests come for the Airbnb farm stays — the Tiny Oasis from $145/night peak, the Farm Cottage (sleeps 4) from $175/night peak — the natural spring soak ($25/$40/$90 depending on session), weddings and events from $2,500, private farm-to-table dinners at $150 per person, and America, our food truck, parked right on site. The farm operates under Florida Statute ss. 570.85–570.89, with s. 570.85(1) protecting agritourism activity on agricultural land from local-ordinance interference.

Where you'll sleep
Two private units, both on the farm. The Tiny Oasis sleeps 2 from $145; the Farm Cottage sleeps 4 from $175. Both have a real kitchen, a real bath, and a door onto the grass.
Inside the Tiny Oasis — bed, kitchenette, private bath, washer & dryer.The Farm Cottage — french doors onto the open lawn.Cottage front, Loxahatchee blue sky.Your door, and the steps down to the grass.The farmhouse under the casuarinas.
Ducks, hens, a rooster who starts early, and a peacock with opinions. Children are welcome to help with the morning feed.
Two ducklings, out of the sun.Chick day — the box, straight off the truck.The rooster runs the coop.One egg in the nest box, still warm.Morning feed in the run.Setting up the brooder for the new chicks.A peacock crosses the yard like he owns it.
Sugarcane, tropical water lilies, sweet potatoes, fruit trees and a working nursery. The private farm dinners — $150 a head — are cooked from whatever this list says that week.
A handful of blue-green eggs — that morning's.Sweet potato harvest, laid out on the bed.Nursery starts, waiting to go in the ground.The fence line, late afternoon.Shade, hedge, and mown grass.
The covered porch, the fire, the long shaded drive. This is the part of the farm couples book for weddings — from $2,500 — and it's the part nobody photographs on a venue tour because it doesn't look like a venue. That's the point.
The porch: vintage sign, kilim rug — and a hen on the sofa.Bonfire, as the light goes.The bicycle waits in the shade of the drive.Through the gate — you've arrived.The red barn, and lumber for the next project.
A 1970s Blue Bird coach rebuilt into a licensed kitchen (MFD1654011). It's on site, so a farm dinner or a wedding can be catered from thirty yards away.
AMERICA — parked out back.Pizza out of the oven, inside the bus.

A working farm isn't a stage set. This is the equipment yard, the projects mid-build, the trailers and the tools, and the family who actually runs the place. We keep these here so you know exactly what you're coming to — not everything on a real farm is photogenic, and we'd rather you saw it now than be surprised at the gate.

GALVANIZED TROUGH SOAK · LIVING BOG FILTRATION · NOT A DROP OF CHLORINE
Soft, clear, living water — the kind a chemical pool can't give you. Book it as a private add-on to your farm stay, or come for a sunset soak as the sugarcane catches the last light.
Farm-Stay Add-On$25
Private Soak Session · up to 1 hour$40
Sunset Soak for Two · golden hour, deck reserved$90
South Florida runs on two seasons, not four, and they decide almost everything about an outdoor date — the light, the food, the bugs and the rate. The seasonal events calendar walks all twelve months: what the farm is doing, what's worth booking, and which months are easiest to get.
Four things are bookable at The Bell Farm, and they suit genuinely different visits. The useful question is not which one costs least — it is how much of the farm you want, and for how long. A soak is an hour. A stay is a night or a week. A dinner is an evening built around a table. A wedding takes the whole place. Read the four in that order and the right one usually picks itself. If it doesn’t, call (561) 779-3213 and describe the occasion — it is one farm and one calendar, so we can talk through all of it at once.
An Hour
♨️ The Natural Spring Soak
$25 STAY ADD-ON · $40 PRIVATE HOUR · $90 SUNSET FOR TWO
The shortest way onto the farm. Galvanized troughs of living water kept clear by a planted bog filter, out among the sugarcane and tropical water lilies — no chlorine, no thermostat, no front desk. Best for a first visit, a birthday, or an afternoon off. The $40 session gives you the pool to yourself for up to an hour; the $90 sunset session reserves the deck at golden hour.

A Night or a Week
🏡 Farm Stays
TINY OASIS FROM $145 · FARM COTTAGE FROM $175
Two private units on the working farm — the Tiny Oasis for two, the Farm Cottage for four. Best for couples, snowbirds escaping a northern winter, and horse-show families who want space instead of a hotel corridor. Rates move with the season and long stays are quoted direct. Farm stay guide ↗ · Equestrian season stays ↗
An Evening
🍽️ The Private Farm Dinner
$150 PER PERSON · FARM-TO-TABLE
A private farm-to-table dinner served on the property, with the farm itself as the setting rather than a backdrop hired for the night. Best for anniversaries, milestone birthdays and small groups who want an occasion without commissioning a full event build. Read the private farm dinner guide ↗
The Whole Farm
🎪 Weddings & Private Events
VENUE FROM $2,500 · WEDDINGS · RETREATS
Weddings, retreats and private events on a working farm near The Acreage, Wellington and Royal Palm Beach — a real place with cane and water lilies in it, not a ballroom dressed to look rural. Best when the setting is the point. Read the farm wedding venue guide ↗
They stack, and that is usually where the value is. A soak added to an overnight stay is $25 rather than $40, which makes it the cheapest thing on this page to say yes to. A private dinner turns a stay into an occasion without anyone driving anywhere. Couples booking a wedding or a retreat regularly take both units for the weekend so the people closest to them sleep on site instead of forty minutes away. Because it is one calendar, the pieces get quoted together rather than as separate bookings.
Four things worth settling before you commit. First, which season you are booking into — South Florida runs two, not four, and the rate moves with them; the seasonal events calendar walks all twelve months and flags which ones are easiest to get. Second, the real headcount, because both the Farm Cottage and the soak are sized rather than open-ended. Third, whether you want the farm working around you or quiet — it is a genuine working farm, and mornings sound like one. Fourth, what you want to eat: AMERICA, the farm’s own food truck, is based on the property. If your date is tight, call rather than message.
Doodle Bug Nursery — Registered Plant Nursery
The farm is now a registered Florida nursery — FDACS Firm No. 484042494. Doodle Bug Nursery sits at the north-east corner of the property: about 940 Florida natives, pollinator plants, tropicals, herbs and succulents grown on site and inspected by the Division of Plant Industry. No citrus, no Category I invasives, and our milkweed is native butterfly weed — not tropical milkweed.
Homeowners, landscapers and contractors can buy from the rows by appointment. Same gate as the farm stays — call first and we will tell you what is ready.
Agritourism Protection: Florida Statute 570.85 protects agritourism operations on agricultural land from local ordinance interference. The Bell Farm is a state-registered agritourism operation under Florida Statute 570.85. Read FL Statute 570.85 ↗

How far is The Bell Farm from Wellington?
About twenty minutes north of the Wellington showgrounds. The farm is at 16140 Okeechobee Blvd in Loxahatchee, in western Palm Beach County, near The Acreage and Royal Palm Beach. Equestrian-season guests book it as an alternative to a hotel — see the Winter Equestrian Festival stay guide.

It is a working farm rather than a themed one: there are animals, sugarcane, tropical water lilies and a nursery, and the day starts early. Most guests find that the point. The farm stay guide walks a day hour by hour, covers what to pack for a working farm, and explains farm etiquette before you arrive.
When is the best time of year to visit The Bell Farm?
South Florida runs two seasons rather than four. November through April is the dry, cooler, peak stretch — the best weather, the highest rates and the hardest dates to get, overlapping Wellington’s equestrian season from January to April.
