We have been trying to locate product liability insurance for our gourmet
mushrooms for six months. In fact we asked the list for assistance at that
time. Today I received my second quote. For $1,000,000 coverage I have
received two quotes $1,000 a year minimum and $2,100 a year. These both
seem a bit high to me, but in order to get into the bigger city markets I
have to have the coverage. I also would be interested in any suggestions
for companies. Forget Farm Bureau, who I already paid $5,000 a year for
home, auto, and farm insurance. They wanted 2,100 and another 250 just to
write the policy.
