Farms & wineries

Farms, vineyards, and wineries growing crops and producing/selling wine, often with tasting rooms.

Why it needs cover

The exposure

Farms face crop and equipment loss, property/nat-cat exposure, and product/premises liability; wineries add tasting-room liquor liability and product-contamination risk. California wildfire is a defining property exposure.

When it goes E&S

Where this risk gets hard to place

California wildfire is a major property-premium driver (confirmed by NerdWallet, Risk Strategies, and Powers Insurance); wildfire, flood, and crop catastrophe exposure routinely push farm/winery property to E&S, and agritourism/events add liability that admitted carriers may decline.
