Are William Farel's writings available online?
Also is their a reason why Farel's works (along with Beza and Bucer for that matter) are not more readily available?

Translation and all the money for translation and publishing exists principally in the USA and UK for religious materials. I live in Québec and have talked to some persons from the various french evangelical seminaries and the best I have heard is that there maybe some stuff in the Sorbonne somewhere. The truth is that the big stuff hasn't been seen for a while (outside of Bezas biogrpahy on calvin) maybe 17-18th century and some stuff not is just waiting in various places waiting to be unearthed!

Not sure on the first question of yours, but as to why the others are not readily available, I think some of it may have to do with being in Calvin's shadow. When people think Geneva, 16th century, does Beza come to mind, or Calvin?
(By the way, I think he's great, hence the avatar pic of him. Anyone who can call Calvin onto the carpet like he did is quite a preacher.)

As far as I can tell, Farel's stuff is hard to come by. On my old blog, I did post some excerpts from Farel's baptismal form. Last year, Westminster Theological Journal also published an excellent article by my colleague Ted VanRaalte on Farel.
