My husband and i have found a farm that we are buying (probably closing in the next 7 days) and in order to close on the deal we had to get the farm insured. this has been a bit of an ordeal because we are not "real" farmers and it took a couple of days of phone calls to two different insurance agents (both state farm) to get things clear and get the farm insured.

What I found out is State Farm will not insure certified organic farms nor will they insure us if we wholesale to groceries or restaurants.

At any rate they did write us a policy through Iowa farm and ranch.

But I am curious why a certified organic operation cannot be insured.
