Most of the calls we get about the farm this time of year are not about weddings. They are about a company offsite that needs a change of scenery before year-end, a milestone birthday, a family reunion, or a celebration of life for someone who loved being outdoors. This week's post is about that kind of day, because it is planned differently from a wedding and the questions are different.
Private events on a working farm
The question it answers: can you hold a private event at a real working farm in Palm Beach County without it feeling like a wedding with the veil taken off? Yes. Private events at The Bell Farm start at $2,500 for the venue and are kept separate from the wedding-day service, so there is no ceremony timeline or bridal-party logistics built in. It is the farm, the grounds and whatever shape your day needs.
The local fact worth the click: the farm sits at 16140 Okeechobee Blvd in Loxahatchee, roughly ten to twenty-five minutes from Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, The Acreage and West Palm Beach. That is close enough for an afternoon meeting and far enough that a conference room disappears behind open ground. Weekday dates are worth asking about, because availability differs from the wedding calendar.
What can go on top of the venue fee is your choice: a private farm-to-table dinner at $150 per person, America's food truck for private catering from $800, an overnight stay from $145 a night, or your own vendors. Anything beyond those figures is a quote for your actual event.
Three questions to ask any outdoor venue
- What is the covered backup? A Florida outdoor venue needs a real covered space, not an improvised plan.
- What is the power situation? AV, a projector, a band or a food truck all draw power. Know what is on site and what your team brings.
- Can we tour at the hour the event will run? Ask for a walk-through at that time of day.
Unsure whether you want an event at all, or just a visit? The visitor FAQ answers what is open to the public, what stays cost and how to book, and the Bell Farm home page has the rest.
The farm is a state-registered agritourism operation, an FDACS Registered Agritourism Operator and Visit Florida Farms member since May 2026.
