Protect your hobby farm

A hobby farm is a smaller farm operated mainly for pleasure. The Co-operators has designed a special insurance package for hobby farmers that is sold as an addition to your regular home insurance.

What qualifies as a hobby farm?

A hobby farm is operated on a smaller scale than a commercial farm. A large vegetable garden would not be considered a hobby farm. If land is being rented for farm use or livestock are being kept, it would fall into the hobby farm category. Contact your local agent to determine your eligibility.
