Farm and Home Insurance for Minnesota Families and Farmers

Vasa‑Spring Garden Mutual Insurance Company provides property insurance for homeowners, farmers, and rural property owners across Minnesota. As a local mutual insurer, we focus on long-term protection, responsive claims support, and personal service rooted in the communities we serve.

Community grown means:

Community Grown Insurance is more than a slogan. It reflects how we operate as a local mutual insurer.

Serving Minnesota Homeowners and Farmers

We proudly insure homes, farms, and rural properties throughout Minnesota, with deep roots in southeast Minnesota and surrounding counties including Goodhue, Dakota, Scott, Rice, and Wabasha. Our local agents understand Minnesota weather, rural risks, and the realities of farm and country living — and they work directly with you to make sure coverage fits your situation.

Homeowners Insurance

Our homeowners insurance is designed to protect both your home and the way you live in it. Coverage is available for:

  • Your dwelling and attached structures
  • Personal property and contents
  • Loss of use after a covered event
  • Personal liability and medical payments

Whether you live in town or in the country, we help Minnesota homeowners insure with confidence and clarity.

Farm Insurance (Farm-Mate)

Farming comes with unique risks that require specialized coverage. Our Farm-Mate policy is built for Minnesota farms of many sizes, including family farms and smaller operations. Farm-Mate coverage may include:

  • Farm residence and outbuildings
  • Farm personal property and equipment
  • Optional endorsements based on your operation
  • Coverage tailored to how your farm actually functions

We work closely with agents who understand agricultural risks to help ensure your farm is properly protected.

Property Inspections

Property inspections help reduce risk before problems occur.

As part of the underwriting process, a professional inspector may visit your home or farm property to:

  • Take exterior measurements and photos
  • Review structural and safety features
  • Identify potential hazards or maintenance concerns

These inspections help protect both you and the mutual by addressing issues early and supporting safer properties.

Claims Support

When a loss occurs, responsive claims handling matters.

Our claims process is designed to be straightforward and supportive, with local adjusters who understand Minnesota properties and weather-related losses. We work closely with our reinsurance partner, Grinnell Mutual, to ensure strong claims resources and timely resolution.

If you need to report a loss, help is available.
