Wellington has a lot of rooms, but few of them have a farm outside the door. The Bell Farm is not inside the village: it is at 16140 Okeechobee Blvd, Loxahatchee, FL 33470, an FDACS Registered Agritourism Operator that has run since January 5, 2025. Guests who have a week at the showgrounds or a house being worked on in Wellington drive out to a quiet night here, and call (561) 779-3213 to ask which nights are open.
The two places answer to different rulebooks. Wellington is an incorporated village with its own Building Division at the Wellington Municipal Complex on Forest Hill Boulevard, and it issues its own permits. The farm is land classified agricultural in the unincorporated area, so it answers to the Palm Beach County Planning, Zoning & Building Division. Much of Wellington sits in the Wind-Borne Debris Region, and parts of the village are in the Equestrian Preserve Area; the farm is neither. It is inland, so the weather that matters here is wind and heavy rain rather than storm surge.
Who stays from Wellington? Horse-show visitors who would rather sleep somewhere with grass than a hotel corridor (the Winter Equestrian Festival stay guide covers the season), families in town for an event, and neighbours whose house is being re-roofed or reworked. Rooms and what to pack are in the farm stay guide; the four-person unit has its own page, Farm Cottage, and the two-person unit is the Tiny Oasis.
Ask when you book: the natural spring pond at $60 per person, the wood-fired bannik at $90 per person (towels, venik and laundry are $15 per person, children half price), and a private farm-to-table dinner at $150 per person.

To be sure you have the right Bell Farm: this is the one in Palm Beach County, phone (561) 779-3213. A separate, unrelated farm of the same name operates in Deltona.

The same owner runs other work in the village, and a stay sometimes starts because of one of these. Home work that has to go through the Village permit desk?

Managing a community there is covered under property management, and a lot to clear before you build under land services.
