“It’s a great honor to have been named Business of the Month,” says Beau Chastain, Agency Manager for Fairfield Farm Bureau. “We strive to be a positive part of this community. We are very proud of Freestone County and proud to be a part of it!”
Chosen as Fairfield Chamber of Commerce’s January Business of the Month, Fairfield Farm Bureau has been a staple of this community for several decades.
Not only do they offer all lines of insurance, such as Home, Health, Auto, Life, etc…, they also have an organizational side for their members. This side of the business offers education and scholarships in the areas of farming and agriculture.
“Today’s students are the next leaders of our community,” explains Chastain. “We want to contribute as much as possible to these kids to help them learn and grow. This is why we spent more than $12K last year on scholarships and county fair animals.”
Chastain goes on to say, “We truly care about our customers, our people. They aren’t just a number for us. We work hard to make sure they are taken care of during their most difficult times, striving to make it a bit more bearable for them. Material things can be replaced, people cannot.”
Farm Bureau is located at 1354 West Highway 84 in Fairfield. They can be reached by calling 903-389-4125.
