Chances are, as a vendor in a farmers market, you will have employees at some point to help you sell your food. However, farmers market liability insurance on its own will not cover job-related injuries your employees might have. FLIP does not provide workers compensation insurance, but our trusted partner Insurance Canopy does. Visit Insurance Canopy’s Workers Compensation Insurance application here.

Farmers market insurance protects food vendors, farmers, and food stands from third-party claims that might arise from their participation in a farmers market. Covered claims may include slip and fall accidents, illnesses caused by food products, or equipment loss.
Farmers market insurance from the Food Liability Insurance Program (FLIP), provides coverage for business personal property/inland marine, general liability, product liability, and damage to premises rented coverage.
The food trailer endorsement only covers liability incidents when the trailer is detached and parked. If you are towing or transporting the food trailer, make sure your vehicle's auto policy covers the trailer. Personal auto insurance may not cover your food trailer if you are using your personal automobile for business purposes. Also, some auto policies may exclude trailers that have license plates or vehicle identification numbers (VIN).
A basic farmers market insurance policy from FLIP starts at $299. However, there are additional coverage options that you can add to customize your policy. As a farmers market vendor, you may wish to increase your business personal property coverage amounts or add professional liability coverage for example. You may also need to endorsements such a food trailer endorsement if you haul or sell your products from a trailer.

When you operate at a farmers market, you are liable if injuries, illnesses, or damages happen due to your business operations.
For example, if a customer gets sick eating your food or if somebody trips and falls over your booth and is injured, you could be held responsible. Claims from unfortunate incidents like these can easily wipe out your business and personal finances and cause your business to close.
In addition, many farmers markets and organizers require all food vendors and farmers to carry them as additional insureds to protect them from your liability.
An additional insured as a person or organization not automatically included as an insured under an insurance policy and who is included or added as an insured under the policy at the request of the named insured. For example, one or more of the farmers markets that you are a vendor at could request to be listed as an additional insured on your policy. This will help protect them in case of an incident regarding your liability at their event. With a FLIP policy, you receive free, unlimited additional insureds. You can add as many as you need in minutes through your online portal.
