About Us
Macomber, Farr & Whitten is here to stay and here to help.
It takes an experienced agency to keep abreast of the latest changes and trends. Since the first day of business in 1848, Macomber, Farr & Whitten has done more than sell insurance.
About Macomber, Farr & Whitten:
For over three generations, Maine families and business people have found reassurance and comfort in the insurance services of Macomber, Farr & Whitten. Our steadfastness is represented by the fact that our address has not changed in over 150 years. If your grandparents came back to Augusta today, they would still find Macomber, Farr & Whitten watching over the Market Square of Augusta.
Should this impact your decisions about insurance? We think so. The true measure of an insurance policy can only be determined in times of trouble. Again and again, with client after client, we prove what’s been true since 1848: Macomber, Farr & Whitten is here to stay and here to help.
Community involvement:
Each and every day we appreciate the opportunity to work in the community where we live. It’s a source of pride within Macomber, Farr & Whitten that we have stayed in the downtown area through thick and thin.
Our roots in the community run deep, and in typical Maine fashion, we take our social responsibility seriously. We strive each year to show our dedication to the greater Augusta community with support for local projects and a tradition of promoting volunteerism within the company.
