Welcome 2025!! It's a little chillier this time of year so don’t worry about heading out in the cold, we love helping people by virtual connect! Connect with us face-to-face on your lunch break, or even from the comfort of your own home! Also, the roads get chaotic with seasonal residents returning to the sunshine state - while price is an important factor in all that we do, ensuring you are adequately protected from the unexpected and building the future you dream of for yourself and your family are also important. Experience the difference in approach and conversation to your protection plan and future needs by speaking with a licensed agent at Fernland State Farm. Don't understand your coverages as well as you'd like to? Have you had the same coverage for as long as you can remember? Maybe you inherited your coverages when switching to your own policy and it's time you better understood your options and what it is your paying for. In any case, if you prefer to work with a team that thinks a little more long-term, call, text, or email us today to get started! (239)201-BOAT
