Joel of Joel’s Mexican Restaurant in Sandpoint with the Marks Insurance Agency team outside the restaurant

“The Marks Agency has been a great partner for our business. From our early days as a food truck to growing into our own restaurant in Sandpoint, they’ve helped us make sure we had the right insurance coverage in place. We really appreciate working with a local agency that understands small businesses and is easy to reach when we have questions or need help. Their team has been there for us with great service, support with claims, and guidance as our business has grown. It means a lot to work with people who are part of the same community we serve, and we’d gladly recommend The Marks Agency to other local business owners.”

“If you value doing business with good, friendly, and honorable people, the Marks Agency is the place to take your insurance needs. In my experience, they look beyond the customer and treat you as a person. They respond promptly to my calls. It is so refreshing to have a person from my own community to discuss my insurance needs rather than some call center several states away. I highly recommend them.”

Who This Is For

Coverage for the Kootenai River valley

Boundary County runs on hay ground, timber, and long miles of US-95 and Highway 2 where the deer outnumber the streetlights. Your coverage should be written by someone who has actually driven them — farm, home, and auto under one local agent.

Why Marks Agency

A real person on the line when it matters most

// 01

Farm & ranch heritage

Our family ran a dairy farm before we ever wrote a policy. Equipment, livestock, outbuildings, and liability across a working place — we speak the language.

// 02

Idaho-handled claims

Farm Bureau Insurance is Idaho-owned, with local in-house adjusters. A hailed-out roof or a barn fire gets decided in Idaho — not by a carrier two time zones away.

// 03

Down the road, not far away

Our office is about 35 minutes south in Ponderay. Phone and email handle most things; the drive handles the rest. Either way, you deal with John, Josh, or Caiya.

Coverage

What we cover in Bonners Ferry and Boundary County

Rural homes, long driveways, wood heat, and real rebuild costs — plus in-town homes in Bonners Ferry itself.

Tractors, implements, and the machinery a working place depends on — scheduled and covered.

Common Questions

Common questions from Bonners Ferry families

Real answers to what we hear most often.

Do you serve Bonners Ferry?
Yes — Bonners Ferry, Moyie Springs, and all of Boundary County. We are about 35 minutes south on US-95 in Ponderay, and most policies can be quoted and placed entirely by phone or email.
Can you insure my whole farm — house, barns, and equipment?
Yes. Farm and ranch policies bundle the dwelling, outbuildings, machinery, livestock, and liability into one package built around your operation. That is the heritage line of Farm Bureau Insurance.
I hit a deer on 95. Is that covered?
That is a comprehensive claim, not collision — and up here it is one of the most common claims there is. We make sure comprehensive is on every vehicle that runs the valley regularly.
Is Farm Bureau insurance only for farmers?
No — membership is open to everyone, and we write plenty of regular home and auto in town. The farm heritage just means rural Boundary County properties are normal business, not exotic ones.
Who handles my claim if something happens?
Farm Bureau Insurance is Idaho-owned with local, in-house adjusters. Start a claim 24/7 at (888) 432-4527, and our office stays involved until it is settled.
