Palm Beach County is Florida’s biggest farming county!  In fact, it is not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Palm Beach County. The southeast coast of Florida conjures up ideas of beaches, great shopping, innovative restaurants, laid back luxury, gorgeous homes, miles of navigable waterways and the Atlantic Ocean. But farming?

As it turns out the United States Department of Agriculture conducts a poll every five years. The information is from 2017 Census of Agriculture, the most recent data available, and includes agricultural sales from each county and what percentage those sales are of the total agricultural market in the state.

Naturally with all the water in Palm Beach County finding great places to grab a drink and an appetizer on the waterfront is easy.  However, if you want an idyllic spot to imbibe by the water there are a few special spots!

Bradley’s Saloon, in West Palm Beach, an indoor and outdoor energetic drinking venue where the breezes off Lake Worth blow through and views of Palm Beach never disappoint.
