Affiliate Links

Many of my posts contain affiliate links.  If you click on an affiliate link and buy something, I may receive a very small commission.  It does NOT result in additional charges to you or cost you anything extra. Mentions of associated products/services/businesses within the content of my blog may or may not be noted as an affiliate in every reference.  The affiliate money I earn per month helps pay the fees to keep this site up and running. Thanks so much for your support!

When you click an affiliate link, you will be taken to a third party’s website.  That third party site may track information regarding your visit or collect personal information that you submit.  Family Food Garden does not have control over or knowledge of how or whether this occurs, and you should read that site’s privacy policy if you are concerned about how your information may be used.

Family Food Garden 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
