Hi, Browns Farm is located on East side of Hwy 827(This road is some rock grade not paved) (6-7 miles) south of Sixmile Bend. west of Loxahatchee Natl. Wildlife Refuge. South east of Lake Okeechobee in Palm Beach County (sw county) and south of Belle Glade. To day most is used for hunting area. Some farming there now but cane farming. This was a large labor camp years ago. See Belle Glade library for more info that was where the main office was.
