Everything you need to know about Farmer Liability Insurance

Vendor liability coverage is required by the state of California to protect your business from claims made against it due to injuries or property damage caused by an employee or agent while on duty at one of our events. This includes any injury that occurs during set up, tear down, transportation, storage, display or use of equipment, materials or supplies provided by you as part of your contract with us. We recommend purchasing this policy for all vendors who will be working in close proximity to customers and/or other employees. The cost of vendor liability insurance varies depending upon the number of people employed by a particular company. Contact us if you need more information about vendor liability insurance.

We are pleased to offer two different types of Farmers market Vendor Insurance policies:

1) A “per event” policy which covers each individual event we host; and

2) An annual multi-event policy covering multiple events per year.

Please note that these policies do not cover personal injury, medical payments, uninsured motorist benefits, nor does it provide protection for third party liabilities such as products sold by you. If you have questions regarding the type of policy best suited for your needs please contact us www.
