Who We Are
Looking for a local Farmers Insurance agency in Lakeville, MN? The John Yoder Agency helps families and business owners across the south metro — Lakeville, Apple Valley, Farmington, Burnsville, Eagan, and nearby communities — get the right coverage without the runaround.
We specialize in auto insurance, home insurance, and home + auto bundling, plus business and life coverage when you need it. Our job is simple: protect what you have worked hard for, explain your options in plain English, and find coverage that fits real Minnesota life — not a one-size-fits-all script.
When you work with our team, you get a real local agent relationship. That means someone who knows the area, answers the phone, helps with policy changes and claims questions, and shops for better value at renewal instead of letting your rates quietly climb. Whether you are a first-time buyer, switching carriers, or reviewing a commercial policy, we take the time to understand your risks and build coverage around them.
If you want honest advice, competitive Farmers rates, and an agency that actually follows through, you are in the right place. Reach out to the John Yoder Agency in Lakeville — we are ready to help you protect your home, vehicles, business, and family.
