Protecting the tradition of the American family farm.
The drive for multigenerational success strikes a strong chord within our family business community. Comprehensive succession planning can be an exciting opportunity for owners to achieve an improved quality of life for themselves and for future generations.
Legacy by Design is singularly dedicated to succession planning in the agricultural community. Established in rural Northern California, we have client families, affiliations and advocates from coast to coast.
As Farm Journal's succession planning expert and resource, Kevin Spafford's "Leave a Legacy" columns appears in each month's Farm Journal and Implement & Tractor. He's also the host of Leave a Legacy - a monthly TV show which airs nationally. (Schedule / Local Listings / View archived episodes online)

Accolades from Farm Bureau 
"We are pleased to support you and your business in the important endeavor of helping transition California's family farms to future generations. On behalf of our 91,500 members, I thank you for your time and dedication to agriculture."
Doug Mosebar, President - California Farm Bureau Federation (March 2007)
"We appreciate you being available for the annual meeting. Your comments... were perfect and reinforced what is needed and how it can be done. I have never had such a positive reaction to the afternoon program and several long time Farm Bureau participants the next day told me, "When I get home, I am calling all the kids together to see who wants to farm and settle things like they need to be done." That was a home run even if only a few do it right. Thank you for helping make it a successful program. I hope more go home and think about it after reviewing your book."
George Gomes, California Farm Bureau State Administrator (December 2006)
