Disclosure

Effective: April 29, 2026 · Last updated: April 29, 2026

Plan Your Homestead (“we,” “us”) is an independent publication. This page summarizes our affiliate, advertising, and editorial practices in plain language so you know how we earn revenue and how that does — and does not — influence what we write.

1. Overview

Plan Your Homestead is funded through two revenue streams: affiliate commissions on products we recommend, and display advertising shown alongside our content. Both are described below. Neither dictates editorial coverage.

2. Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This helps support the cost of running the Site.

Plan Your Homestead is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. We also participate in other affiliate programs from time to time (e.g., gardening retailers, equipment manufacturers, course creators). When we do, the same rules apply: the commission comes from the merchant, not from you.

We only link to products we have used, researched, or would feel comfortable recommending to a friend. We will not promote a product solely because it pays a commission, and we disclose affiliate relationships in keeping with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's endorsement guidelines.

3. Advertising disclosure

The Site displays advertising served by third-party ad networks, including Google AdSense. These ads are clearly distinct from our editorial content. Ad networks may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. For more on Google's use of cookies for advertising, see Google's Ads policy. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings.

We do not control which specific ads appear and we do not endorse the products or services advertised. Our full handling of advertising cookies and identifiers is described in our Privacy Policy.

4. Editorial independence

Editorial decisions — what we cover, how we cover it, and which products we recommend — are made independently of advertising and affiliate revenue. No advertiser or affiliate partner has approval rights over our content. We do not accept payment in exchange for positive coverage of a product, and we will state plainly when an article is sponsored (we currently do not publish sponsored posts).

5. Content & accuracy

Plan Your Homestead is an educational resource, not a substitute for professional advice. Articles on topics such as food preservation, animal husbandry, electrical systems, water systems, financial planning, and legal/zoning rules are general information only. Always verify against authoritative sources (USDA, your county Extension office, licensed professionals, manufacturer instructions) before acting on what you read here. Full disclaimers are in our Terms of Service.
