Farmers Insurance is a group of three policyholder-owned reciprocal insurers, the Farmers Exchanges, that wrote $29.6 billion in gross written premiums in 2025. They insure vehicles, homes and small businesses in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Farmers Group, Inc., a Zurich Insurance Group subsidiary, provides their management services from a home office in Woodland Hills, California.

What Farmers Insurance does

Premiums at the Farmers Exchanges reached $29.6 billion in 2025, up 4% from $28.4 billion in 2024. The three exchanges are Farmers Insurance Exchange, Fire Insurance Exchange and Truck Insurance Exchange. Their policyholders own them. Farmers Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries act as attorney-in-fact, handling administration and management for a fee. Customers buy through exclusive Farmers agencies, independent agents, the website and company call centers. The home office sits in Woodland Hills, a neighborhood of Los Angeles. On its About page, the company puts its US workforce at tens of thousands of employees.

Where Farmers Insurance hires

Woodland Hills appears on 45 of the 101 H-1B labor condition applications (LCAs) that Farmers Group, Inc. submitted in calendar 2025. The other 56 filings were spread across 42 worksite cities, none with more than 3.

  • Woodland Hills, CA: 45
  • Warwick, RI: 2

Warwick is on the list because Farmers named it on August 27, 2025, when it announced Direct Sales hiring in four cities. The other three were Grand Rapids, Michigan, Kansas City, Kansas and Phoenix, Arizona. The company said the push would add more than 100 employees across the four.
