We understand that a standard one-size-fits-all policy simply

doesn't fit. Your business istinique, and your insurance

coverage should be, too.

Farm Family's Special Farm Package® (SFP 10®) goes beyond

traditional farm or ranch coverage, providing a flexible farm

package. It allows you to customize a program more precisely,

to match your individual needs. Depending on the coverages

desired, you can customize a program by choosing among five

divisions, and a variety of options within those divisions. SFP 10®

combines similar perils (causes of loss, such as windstorm, fire,

theft, etc.) into groups, to achieve the combination of coverages

that are right for you.

Tailored protection helps ensure you're getting exactly what

you want — and that you're not paying extra for coverages

you don't want.

ConvenienceWe understand that your home and business concerns

are often one and the same. Farm Family's SFP 10® policy

combines personal, farm, business property and liability

coverages all under one policy, to simplify your insurance

protection. Plus, the cost of having one policy may save

you money.

VersatilityWe understand that farm and ranch operations of varying size

and scope, from the largest nurseries to the smallest wineries,

have very different needs. We serve the more common types

of farming throughout the Northeast (dairy, horse, beef,

poultry, produce), along with the more unusual (ostriches,

llamas, aquaculture operations).

*;!•itExperienceWe understand the farming community — it's the cornerstoneof our company. Farm Family was founded by farmers, for

farmers. We were one of the first insurance companies to

issue a flexible policy specifically for agribusiness, with the

introduction of the SFP 10® policy in 1980.

Taking a Personal InterestBy and large, farming is a family endeavor,

rich in tradition. But the way you operate

your business can change considerably from

one generation to the next. New techniques,

shifts in the marketplace, and laws and

regulations are but a few of the many

factors that can impact your daily life.

Some things, however, do remain constant.

Whether you raise cows or beef cattle,

grow produce or cash crops, operate a

horse stable, or manage a greenhouse, you

shouldn't have to worry about whether

you have the correct insurance coverage

to fit your ever-changing needs. That's why

you need an insurance agent who knows

your business...and understands the unique

challenges of it. Farm Family is here to serve

farmers and ranchers and their families.We honor that commitment with pride.

At Farm Family, we share your tradition in

farming, and we're changing right along

with you. We've been there for you from

the beginning, and we'll be there for you

tomorrow. Our name says it all.

As your business changes,so do we.
