We have been working with farm families across Quebec and Ontario for many years and are now seeing those farms being sold or passed down to the next generation.

The 2011 census indicated that almost half of Canadian farmers were 55 or older and approaching retirement. At the same time, the trend in Canada is towards larger and fewer farms. Over the next several years, many farmers will be faced with decisions about the future of their farming operations.

As a business owner, it's important to understand the financial and tax implications of any decision that you'll be required to make. We specialize in providing advice and guidance to farmers and their families that we hope you will find useful in making plans for your own future.
