Farmers Insurance® has a longstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion, which serves as the foundation of our culture and helps guide the organization in its mission to make a difference in the communities where we live and work. In order to meet our goal of being the leader in innovating for customers whenever and wherever they need us, we recognize we must value and celebrate the unique potential of every individual person with whom we interact.

Our story began in 1928 with the simple goal of insuring the vehicles of rural farmers but as the world changed, so did we. Farmers now provides insurance for home, auto, business, recreational, life and financial services to more than 5 million households, generating approximately $19 billion in annual premium.
