What is farm shop insurance?

Farm shop insurance is a combination of covers built around selling fresh and perishable produce: public liability for customer injury, stock cover, and employersโ€™ liability if you have staff.

If a chiller or freezer fails, the stock inside it can be lost in hours. Deterioration of stock cover pays for what spoils when refrigeration breaks down or the power goes off. Tell us what cold storage you have and roughly what sits in it at peak.

The right farm shop cover depends on:

Cold rooms and refrigerated storage
Cafรฉ or catering on site
Seasonal trading patterns
Number of staff
Stock value
