Just wondering what other small-scale beekeepers do about product liability insurance when selling only via word-of-mouth and farmer's markets?

For a few hundred bucks it depends on how much honey ur selling.
We have found that Farm Bureau Financial Services understands what we do and have product liability (and other products) through them.

This ad is in the Walter T Kelley catalog " We can cover your Beekeeping Insurance needs with our special farm policy" Lani Basberg Agency,LLC. toll free 1-866-456-2572 lanibasberg@gmail.com . I know nothing about it, just seen it in the catalog.
I also had never heard of this agency until today, but here is their website, specifically, their page on Beekeeping Insurance!

Liability for beekeepers is not difficult to get. I have been in insurance for 17 years and have companies that will insure beekeeper liability. You do want to make sure that the agent you are looking at can write business in your state. The company in WTK may be able to write in Kentucky (which is part of the web address) but not in other states. That being said if you are in Kentucky and have coverage through them it is not only good just in Kentucky unless that is specified in the policy. Since I am lic. in Missouri I can only write coverage for those living or have their business address in Missouri but the coverage will go with them if they do business out of state.
