Hobby Farm Insurance

Insurance for Hobby Farm & Lifestyle Properties

As qualified professional insurance brokers, we can help protect your hobby farm or lifestyle property with a tailored farm insurance policy to meet your specific needs and requirements.

Why do I need to insure my Hobby Farm properly?

A hobby farm is usually a small farm operating for personal pleasure and isn’t run as a business or for profit. Hobby Farm Insurance is a specialist insurance policy covering the risks associated with running a small personal farm. Some insurers provide cover if you are earning an income from farm activities, however these need to be declared to the insurer as well as the turnover derived from these activities.

The types of insurance covers you may need for your hobby farm will depend on the size of your farm, your activities and the types of products available in the market at the time. If you run your farm as a business or for profit, you may need a different level of insurance protection compared to that of a hobby farm. See our Agriculture & Farm Insurance page for more information.

Why do you need to insure your Hobby Farm?

Even though a hobby farm may not generate income, farming activities can be dangerous and costly if you don’t have the right level of insurance protection. Don’t rely on your home and contents insurance policy to cover your hobby farm as they’re not always covered under this type of policy. It would be a shame to find that out at claim time.

What types of insurance do I need for my Hobby Farm?

You can tailor your hobby farm cover to include the following

Home and Contents – Protect your domestic home and contents for loss, damage or theft

Farm Property – Protect your farm buildings like sheds, stables and workshops

Farm Motor – Similar to a motor vehicle insurance policy but also includes cover for risks associated with farming activities

Farm Machinery – Add cover for your farm machinery such as tractors, headers, quad bikes, ride on mowers and associated equipment used on a farm

Farm Liability – Protect your farm against public and product liability claims for property damage or personal injury as a result of your farm operations

Crop and Livestock – Covers your farm animals and produce for various situations such as accidental injury, theft and severe weather conditions

Plus More  – There is a range of additional covers we can discuss with you.
