Agri-Business
Agriculture is the heart beat of the rural community. Whether it’s been in the family for generations or an owned business or part of a larger operation, it’s a place many still call home. For many people in rural communities, it’s both home and business.
Regular Farm
Edge Mutual has been protecting area communities for almost 125 years. In fact, many early pioneers of Ontario’s rural communities were the very same people involved in forming local mutual companies. With our grassroots knowledge of local farming, it’s not surprising that Edge Mutual has remained one of the leading sources of farm insurance protection in this province – generation after generation.
We’ve watched the agricultural landscape change over the years. We know that choosing an insurance program is an important part of the success of any farming operation. With all the potential perils of agri-business, managing your risk with appropriate coverage is absolutely crucial.
