What's Covered
Cannabis cultivation operations face a unique set of risks — crop loss from equipment failure, power outages, pests, or disease can wipe out an entire grow cycle. Standard agricultural and commercial insurance policies typically exclude cannabis. We work with specialty markets designed for licensed Minnesota cultivators.
Covers your cannabis plants against fire, theft, vandalism, and certain perils. Growing cannabis represents significant investment per square foot — losing a crop without coverage can be financially devastating.
HVAC failure, irrigation problems, and lighting failures can destroy an entire grow. Equipment breakdown coverage pays for repairs and resulting crop loss from a covered equipment failure.
Covers your grow facility, infrastructure, and inventory — including harvested product awaiting processing or sale.
Covers third-party bodily injury and property damage at your cultivation facility. Required by most commercial leases and state licensing.
Covers claims that cannabis you produced caused harm downstream — at the processing or retail level. Your liability follows the product through the supply chain.
Required in Minnesota for any cultivation operation with employees. Agricultural and cultivation work carries significant physical risk.

Common Questions
Most standard commercial carriers exclude cannabis operations entirely. Specialty markets exist specifically for licensed cannabis businesses in legal states — we work with those markets to get you covered.
State licensing requirements vary by license type, but most Minnesota cannabis licenses require proof of general liability and other coverages. Landlords and financial partners also require proof of insurance.
Pricing is based on your revenue, license type, operations, and the specific coverages you need. Cannabis insurance is more expensive than standard commercial insurance due to limited carrier options — but we compare across available markets to find the most competitive rates.
Some carriers will write coverage before your license is finalized, which may be required for the licensing process itself. Contact us early so we can match you with the right specialty market.
