Difficult time finding insurance

[rainesridgefarm]

the price you pay will also depend on your credit rating. I pay about $300

Check to see if ANPAC American National Property & Casualty offers policies in your state. Excellent rates including property, premises liability, products & completed operations liability, etc. Farm Bureau differs from one state to another. Here in Kansas, they had to write a special liability rider at minimum premium of $250 as bees & the prodcuts of the hive were a no-go for liabilty. My regular personal lines agent had to look for a special lines liabilty policy at $500 min. premium/year. ANPAC wrote the farm, home, and liability coverages for less $$ in a single package.

I found them through these folks: http://www.auto-owners.com/


Our premium is $265.00 and covers:
Selling honey
Bees on our property

If we expand operations to a remote bee yard, it just gets added on to the policy with no increase in the premium.

Now I can sleep again at night...

If your insurance is being sold to someone else they're tacking on a profit for their greedy selves for doing nothing. The more policies go to a single insurance agent the better price they can likely do.

I have a policy from Farm Burea for just my bee operation. However I feel that the state beekeepers associtations should provide a group insurance policy option to its members. And as an added benefit it could adjust rates or coverage options for master beekeeping certification levels.

Allen do they only write insurance in PA?

[Allen]

I'm not sure about that.
Here is contact info for another one that called me after I went with Keystone.
Funny thing though, he was googling beekeepers looking for insurance, saw this thread and backtracked me through my website.

We have a Country Squire policy with Farm Bureau with the farm umbrella package, plus a liability policy with Farm Bureau too. I am surprised Farm Bureau sent you to Nation Wide.

When I clicked on Farm Bureau for contact info it sent me to Nationwide.
Nationwide said Farm Bureau is part of their company.

i was able to get product and additional liability with farmer's, not very expensive either.
