What Kind of Insurance Do I Need for A Hobby Farm?
A hobby farm is a relatively small-scale farm that is operated for pleasure or to supplement income, rather than providing your primary income. Owners of hobby farms often have other jobs and sources of income. Even if your farm isn’t a large business venture, we know you’ve put a lot of time and energy into making it what it is today, and we want to make sure you have the right insurance to protect it.
Whether you farm relates to cropping, vegetables, cattle, dairy or poultry, you’ll want to be sure you have the right coverage in place to continue growing your hobby. You may want to consider options such as production cost insurance or hail insurance to protect your crops, or builders risk to cover any dwellings or outbuildings. If you have horses, you may want to consider equine liability of cover any riding operations or horse clubs.
No matter the size, we use specialty carriers that understand the risks involved and tailor coverage to your needs. Connect with an AgPro insurance broker for more recommendations on the best insurance coverage for you.
