I need to get some insurance cover for my smallholding, does anyone know a good company to use? Any idea of rough costs, as I'm just starting up I will only have 1 acre of crops and some chickens and I estimate the cost of fixed items to be under £1000 to start with. If I have public Liability insurance with my job does that cover me on the smallholding as well?

NFU ?

Don't think your public liability from your job will cover what you need. Specialist smallholding broker www.ottery.co.uk but obviously look around for the best package & price.

wouldnt go past NFU. local office makes a huge difference and they have some fab household insurance that also covers you for working from home

I moved to NFU in January. You need separate insurance than for your work - I already have professional indemnity cover separately with Towergate but their price to add cover for buildings/public liability for a self employed person working from home was nowhere near as good as NFU.
