AMERICA is a hand-converted 1979 Blue Bird bus — Randolph Bell bought an old school bus, saw the promise in it, and rebuilt it himself into a state-licensed, farm-to-table food truck. She's anchored at The Bell Farm in Loxahatchee, serving a seasonal menu straight off the FDACS crops calendar: walk-up Thursday through Sunday at the farm, or booked out for weddings, farm dinners and private catering across Palm Beach County. State license MFD1654011, issued under Chapter 509 of the Florida Statutes.
State-licensed and farm-to-table, booking across Palm Beach County. AMERICA is the food truck catering Palm Beach County trusts for private events from $800 and weddings from $2,500. Pick your event below or call Randolph directly — he answers.
Three taps and you get the same honest range Randolph would give you on the phone. No email, no form, no waiting on a quote from a booking site — the number is right here, and one call turns it into a date on the calendar.
A gathering this size meets our $2,500 minimum rather than beating it — that minimum covers setup, a full service window, and breakdown, so the effective per-guest number looks higher at small counts. One truck comfortably feeds up to 200 guests in a 3–4 hour window, and every quote comes from a state-licensed operator (MFD1654011).
Upcoming stops, pop-ups and booked events across Palm Beach County. Don’t see your date? Call Randolph and put your event on the map.
Most people saw an old school bus. Randolph Scott Bell saw America — the promise of it, the grit of it, the soul of it. A vehicle that had carried generations of children, now ready for a second life. He bought it. He believed in it. And he got to work.
Randolph converted America himself — every weld, every panel, every detail. A 17-year builder with a CGC license and a vision doesn't hire out what he can do himself. The conversion took months of weekends, early mornings, and late nights on the farm in Palm Beach County.
On April 2, 2026, the State of Florida issued Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicle License MFD1654011 to Bell Engineering and Construction Corporation. A state license is not a county permit — it is a legal shield. Under Florida Statute 570.85, agritourism operations on agricultural land cannot be blocked by local ordinance. America is open for business.

America lives at The Bell Farm in Palm Beach County — a working farm with Airbnb stays, a nursery, and agritourism events. Thursday through Sunday she feeds the guests, the neighbors, and anyone who finds their way to the farm. Farm-to-table isn't a marketing term here. It's what's growing twenty feet away.

Palm Beach County denied a temporary use permit. But a county permit denial cannot override a state agritourism license. Florida Statute 570.85 explicitly protects agritourism operations from local government interference. America has a state license. The farm is agricultural land. The fight is not over — it has barely begun.
When America serves food at The Bell Farm, she isn't operating as a roaming street vendor — she is an on-farm agritourism experience. The crops come from the land. The kitchen is on the land. The guests eating are on the land. That makes America legally protected under Florida Statute 570.85, which explicitly prohibits local governments from restricting agritourism activities on agricultural property.
Palm Beach County can deny a temporary use permit. They cannot deny a state-licensed, FDACS-registered agritourism operation. America is not asking for permission. She is asserting a right.
America's menu follows the official FDACS Florida Crops in Season calendar. Every dish is built around what's actually growing in South Florida right now — not shipped from across the country. This is how we stay connected to the land, support Florida agriculture, and serve the freshest possible food. Health inspectors, guests, and regulators can verify our sourcing philosophy directly through FDACS.
Thinking about America for a wedding, party, or corporate event? Our free Palm Beach County cost guide breaks down per-guest pricing, event minimums, travel and weekend fees, real wedding budget examples by guest count, and the 10 questions to ask before you book.
What a truck actually needs from your site: the parking footprint and overhead clearance to measure, generator versus shore power, what Florida Statute 509.102 really says about local permits, HOA and gated-community rules, the paperwork worth asking for, and a week-by-week planning timeline.
Not what it costs — how it runs. How fast one truck feeds your guest count, the four different jobs a truck can do across a reception, building a menu that moves, the day-of clock, the guests everyone forgets, Florida rain plans, and the ten contract lines worth reading twice.
Winter is Palm Beach County's peak harvest, not its off-season — this county grows more sugarcane, sweet corn and sweet bell peppers than any other in the country. The month-by-month winter crop calendar, why South Florida's growing year runs backwards, the six dishes it produces, and what a winter date means for weather, daylight and ground conditions.
Spring here is two seasons wearing one name: the winter vegetable belt still at full tilt in March, the tropical crop and the rains switching on in late May. The month-by-month spring crop calendar, which dishes belong to early spring versus late spring, and why a graduation in May and an Easter lunch in March are two different events to plan.
In a South Florida summer the vegetable fields empty and the fruit trees take over — mango at peak, lychee, longan, avocado, guava, dragon fruit. The month-by-month summer crop calendar, an honest ledger of whether each dish comes from a tree, a field, the water or storage, and what running a truck through the heat and the four-o'clock storm actually takes.
Twenty minutes east of the farm. Who can actually approve a food truck in Wellington — the state, the Village, your HOA, or the property owner — plus the five events that really book a truck out there, why the catering year peaks in January rather than May, and where a full-size bus can park in a village built around horses.
Backyard parties on acre lots: what to check about the driveway, culverts and ground before a 1979 bus rolls in, the live 50-amp shore line, and a walk-up taste test at the farm, Thursday to Sunday. Private catering from $800, weddings from $2,500.
Along Okeechobee Boulevard from the farm. Who says yes to a food truck on a private lot, in an association community or on Village ground, and what a booking costs: private catering from $800, weddings and larger catering from $2,500.
By booking, from the farm in Loxahatchee. What the state licence settles, what the City and your association still decide, and how to book. Private catering from $800, weddings and larger catering from $2,500.
The county seat, and what actually decides a food truck booking there: the state licence, the City's land-use and event rules, your association, and the property. Private catering from $800, weddings and larger catering from $2,500.
