Liability Insurance for Agritourism Farms

Obtaining liability insurance is a point of concern for most farms, and hardly a week goes by that I don't get a call or email from someone saying "How can I get liability insurance in my state?"

I've recently talked with two insurance carriers that are writing policies for agritourism farms, so I thought I would pass these on.  If you have coverage from other companies, please call or email me so that I can share that information!

Here are the two I talked to this week. Click on these links to see if you reside in a state covered by their policies:
