Title: Insurance for 'farmgate' sales
Post by: BrimwoodFarm on May 31, 2016, 02:26:38 pm

I was wondering what insurance might be needed for farm gate sales? For instance, if I sell a box of eggs to someone and they end up getting ill - maybe they have a weak immune system and catch staph, for example - I'm of the understanding I'd be liable? Is that right?

If so, are there policies that specialise in these things?

Cheers!
Geoff

Our general smallholding insurance from NFUM includes public and prduct liability.

Thanks Rosemary. I'll have a look. Totally 'DOH' though, because my parents are with NFU; should've thought of them!
