Market Farming

[Marcie Rosenzweig <fullcircle AT jps.net>]

I found the Farm Bureau's policy to be the only one available to me here in
California.
I really hate that because a whole lot of us disagree with FB policies and
are only members so we can buy the insurance.  The FB, however, doesn't
make that distinction when they lobby.

Their Farmowner's policy, the one we have, is flexible with pick and choose
options.  This is the only way we could get equipment - tractor, spader,
greenhouses- and liability insurance for both the property and products in
the farmers' market covered.  Product liability is available elsewhere, but
it's ungodly expensive.  We pick up riders to cover electronics and
computers.

Supposedly, the Grange has one, but you have to petition to join.  I found
their local agents totally unresponsive.
