Neighbor helping neighbor since 1888
Protecting Minnesota homes and farms, the mutual way.
Buffalo Lake-New Auburn Mutual is owned by the policyholders we serve — your neighbors across south-central Minnesota.
Welcome
A township mutual, owned by its policyholders
Since 1888, Buffalo Lake-New Auburn Mutual Insurance Company has offered property and casualty insurance to Minnesotans. Nearly one million Minnesotans count on the security and protection township mutual insurance brings — protection that grew out of a basic concept: people pitching in to help each other when disaster strikes.
Our mission is simple: provide the best coverage at a competitive rate with superior service to policyholders, while remaining a financially strong company.
Our office — 335 Main Avenue, Gaylord, Minnesota
