Farmers’ Market Insurance

Rural Vermont has worked with several farmers and other farmers’ market vendors to research this issue – our goal is to make sure that nobody is required to have liability insurance to sell at a farmers’ market and, at the same time, to make sure that anyone who wants liability insurance can get it.

If you are interested in this issue, and would like to be notified of future developments, let us know by emailing us with your contact info.
