A backyard party on an acre lot needs a caterer that brings its own kitchen. AMERICA is a hand-converted 1979 Blue Bird bus serving a farm-to-table board: private catering from $800, weddings and larger catering from $2,500. Or taste the food first at the walk-up window at The Bell Farm, Thursday to Sunday.
Food truck catering in The Acreage starts at $800 for a private event and $2,500 for weddings and larger catering. The Acreage is large-lot country, so most bookings here are the same thing: a party in somebody's own backyard, where the question is never "is there a kitchen" but "can the bus get up the drive and park level". This page answers that one, and the few local facts that shape it.
AMERICA is based at The Bell Farm, 16140 Okeechobee Blvd in Loxahatchee. Tell us the date, the head count and the road, and you get a straight answer the same day: (561) 779-3213.
The Acreage is unincorporated Palm Beach County. There is no village hall behind your address, and much of the roadwork and drainage is run by the Indian Trail Improvement District, an independent special district, rather than by a city — that is public record. For a party it changes what actually matters: your lot, your driveway and your neighbours.
AMERICA is not a concession trailer and not a step van. Randolph saw America in an old school bus — the promise, the grit, the soul — and converted her by hand. On an acre lot that shows up in two practical ways. She has presence: guests look at her before they look at the menu. She also needs a straight approach and firm ground, which is why we ask the questions above before we say yes.
The board is farm-to-bus and seasonal, built from the FDACS Florida crops calendar and what is growing at The Bell Farm: see the winter, spring and summer menus.
Not sure about a food truck for your party? Come and eat at one first. AMERICA serves walk-up Thursday to Sunday at The Bell Farm, 16140 Okeechobee Blvd, Loxahatchee, so a neighbour in The Acreage can try the food, walk round the bus and ask about a date in the same visit. Call ahead if you want to know what is on the board that week.
Private catering with AMERICA starts at $800 per event, and weddings and larger catering start at $2,500. Those are the only starting prices we publish, and they are the same in The Acreage as anywhere else we cater. A plated private farm dinner at The Bell Farm is $150 per person with a ten-guest minimum. Call (561) 779-3213 with your date and head count for a straight number.
Yes, and it is the booking this page is built around. AMERICA is a hand-converted 1979 Blue Bird bus that parks at the house, opens a service window and feeds guests where they already are, so there is no rented kitchen and no tent of chafing dishes. What decides it is the approach to the lot, not the size of it, so we ask for a photo of the driveway before we confirm.
The Indian Trail Improvement District, an independent special district, maintains roads and drainage canals across much of The Acreage; that is public record. It matters to a bus because many lots reach the road over a culvert crossing or a swale, and some approaches are unpaved. We ask about the driveway surface, any culvert and the turn before we confirm a date, so nobody finds out at 4pm on the day.
No. The Acreage is unincorporated Palm Beach County, so there is no city or village hall to apply to. Under section 509.102 of the Florida Statutes the licensing of mobile food dispensing vehicles is preempted to the state, and AMERICA holds state licence MFD1654011 under Chapter 509. Ordinary land use on your parcel, and any permit for a public event, are separate questions. None of this is legal advice; call (561) 779-3213 and we will tell you what applies to your address.
Many Acreage lots are not inside a master association, but some subdivisions carry their own covenants. If yours does, treat it as a private contract and check it before you set a date; state preemption of government food-truck licensing does not override a private covenant. If a board needs paperwork, we send the state licence and other vendor documents on request.
AMERICA is self-contained: the bus has a 50-amp shore line connected and live, plus air conditioning, Toast point-of-sale and Starlink connectivity. That means you do not need to run anything to us. Whether your property has a matching outlet is a question we ask on the call rather than assume, and we will tell you plainly what we need, if anything.
Yes. AMERICA serves walk-up Thursday to Sunday at The Bell Farm, 16140 Okeechobee Blvd, Loxahatchee. It is the easiest taste test in the western communities: eat at the window, look at the bus, and ask us about your date while you are there. Call (561) 779-3213 first if you want to confirm what is on that week.
Weddings and larger catering start at $2,500. Backyard and acreage weddings are a different planning conversation from a party: guest count, the reception clock, dietary counts, ground conditions and a rain plan. The wedding catering guide on this site walks through it, and a call will tell you whether your date is open.
The board is farm-to-bus and seasonal, built from the FDACS Florida crops calendar and what is growing at The Bell Farm. The winter, spring and summer menu pages are published on this site, and we confirm the exact board with you as your date approaches, including vegetarian, vegan and allergen counts.
