[ocba] Anyone have liability insurance for the honey they sell?

Hi Everyone.

At some point I'd like to sell our surplus honey. I'm just not sure what 
the rules are regarding liability in North Carolina. I don't know if 
it's even possible for someone to get sick from consuming honey, but I 
do know that we live in a pretty litigious society. I'd sleep better 
knowing I had some kind of protection against lawsuits. (Sad, isn't it?)

Does anyone have an agricultural policy that covers bees/honey? Or is 
there something in North Carolina law that shields beekeepers from 
product liability lawsuits? Maybe liability insurance is overkill, but 
I'd rather not bet the farm on it.

Best,
Heather
