Smallholding Insurance

Smallholding

To most, a smallholding is a cultivated plot of land which is larger than an allotment but smaller than a farm. It can rear animals and/or grow produce. From our point of view, we categorise a PBI smallholding as a property with up to 30 acres with a maximum of ...

• 50 poultry
• 10 cows or pigs
• 25 sheep/goats/alpacas

* (seasonal increase can fluctuate up to a maximum 50% during breeding periods excluding poultry).

Of course, dedicated smallholders are incredibly busy and running a smallholding demands a wide range of knowledge, skills, and techniques. And we appreciate that insurance probably isn’t the most exciting part of operating a successful smallholding - but equally our own research suggests that one of the biggest concerns smallholders have involves the potential damage or injury to others (and their property) caused by the possible temporary escape of the smallholders livestock.

Having the correct insurance is imperative. If you are a smallholder, consider what risks your smallholding poses to you, your neighbours and others who may encounter your property, livestock, and crops.
