Farmers Insurance

Who we are
The Farmers Insurance Group of Companies was founded in 1928 when Farmers Insurance Exchange, an automobile insurer, was formed. As customer demand for additional insurance services increased, the Fire Insurance Exchange and Truck Insurance Exchange were established for home and commercial insurance needs. Today, the Farmers Insurance Group of Companies is the country's third-largest writer of both private passenger automobile and homeowners insurance.

Farmers Insurance Group of Companies is based in Los Angeles, California, and operates in 41 states across the country through the efforts of approximately 18,000 employees. Our agents, independent contractors and independent agents, along with Farmers employees, are responsible for servicing more than 15 million customers.

What we believe
Since our founding in 1928, we have been committed to improving the communities where our customers, agents and employees live and work. Investing in our communities is nothing new to Farmers. We have been proud, active partners in bettering the lives of our neighbors across the country for many decades.

We continue to invest considerable resources in programs that improve safety, enhance educational opportunity, and increase civic participation in communities across America. In addition to our institutional support for these causes, we are undeniably proud of the thousands of Farmers agents and employees who generously contribute additional dollars and hours of volunteer time to organizations in their neighborhoods. In 2000 alone, more than 15,000 Farmers people donated more than 75,000 volunteer hours and raised more than $1.5 million for worthy causes, above and beyond Farmers corporate giving of $2.1 million.
