Coverage Options

Product Liability Insurance

Provides coverage against injury or illness resulting from ingesting your farm products.

Premises Liability Insurance

Covers the farm or ranch in the event of accident or physical injury to anyone visiting the farm.

An endorsement also known as a rider, addendum, or attachment is a written document attached to an insurance policy that modifies the policy by changing the coverage of the policy. An endorsement can add coverage for acts or things that are not covered as a part of the original policy and can be added at the inception of the policy or later during the term of the policy.

An endorsement is simply the specific coverage that an underwriter has agreed to cover with a specified limit of liability, usually an amount greater than the insured’s collective assets If your farm has a roadside stand, you may be able to include this in your farm policy whether or not it is on your  property, but you must clarify this with your agent.

Limited Liability Insurance

Limited liability coverage is for products that your customers are ingesting. The recommended amount of coverage for property and liability is based on the farm’s net worth and five years of earnings.

If your farm has a roadside stand, you may be able to include this in your farm policy whether or not it is on your property, but you must clarify this with your agent.

Commercial General Liability Insurance

Commercial general liability policies combine liability insurance with property insurance. This might meet the needs of farms that process foods, sell flowers, non-edibles, or have the public on the farm. This policy can have an “event endorsement” that will cover any injuries or mishaps that occur when you invite the public onto your farm. activities such as on-farm stands, U-Pick crops, farm tours, or other agritourism related events should all be well defined within your coverage.
