Why farm insurance is different

Farm insurance is designed around the specific risks that come with owning or running a farm.

The type of farm matters. A lifestyle block, mixed farm and vineyard can have very different insurance needs.

The size of the farm can matter too. A small hobby farm may need very different cover from a large commercial operation.

Some farm risks, such as crop cover, spoilage or agistment-related risks, may only be available from certain providers.

What you'll need to get a quote

  • A list of machinery, including tractors, tools and attachments.
  • Details of any livestock, crops or produce you want covered.

Farm insurance FAQs

Why use a specialist farm broker instead of going direct?

A specialist farm broker can help you understand your options and approach insurers that work with farms like yours. This can be useful when your property, business or cover needs are more complex.

Can I get farm insurance for a hobby farm or lifestyle block?

Yes. Some providers offer insurance for hobby farms, small acreages and lifestyle blocks. The options available can depend on the size of the property, how it's used and what you need covered.

Does farm insurance cover my house and vehicles too?

It can. Some farm insurance policies can include the home, vehicles and other farm assets, while others may require separate cover. Check what's included with the provider before you buy.

Do I need farm insurance for a small property?

It depends on how the property is used and what you need insured. A small working farm, hobby farm and lifestyle property can have different insurance needs.
