If you sell eggs at the end of your driveway, bring your products to a farmers market, or have people visiting your property, are you actually covered?

In this episode of Dirt & Drive, I sit down with insurance broker Cheri Martinen to walk through the different types of insurance homesteaders, farmers, and small business owners need to think about. We cover what to consider when you're selling at farmers markets and vendor events, running a farm stand, or making a product you sell in person or online.

We also get into the situations people rarely think to ask about: insuring your tractor and equipment, renting out an Airbnb on your property, hosting weddings and events, and running seasonal attractions like a pumpkin patch. Cheri breaks it all down in plain language, without the jargon.

If you're building a homestead, growing a farm business, or just getting started with a farm stand, this episode will help you ask the right questions before something goes wrong.

In this episode we cover:

• Insurance for selling at farmers markets and vendor events
• Coverage to think about for farm stands and products you make and sell
• Protecting equipment like tractors
• Insurance for Airbnbs, weddings, and events on your property
• Coverage for visitors and seasonal attractions like pumpkin patches
• The insurance industry's "dirty little secret"
