Affiliate Disclosure

This policy has been in effect since December 24, 2013 and was last updated in 2025.

Hey there, I’m Jessica! I want to be completely transparent about how things work behind the scenes at The 104 Homestead, especially when it comes to affiliate links, sponsorships, and advertising.

Running this site takes time, tools, and (let’s be honest) a lot of coffee. To help support the blog and keep as much content free as possible, I sometimes partner with brands and companies through affiliate programs or sponsorships.

What That Means

Some of the links you’ll find on this site are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you choose to make a purchase through those links. It doesn’t cost you anything extra, but it helps cover the cost of web hosting, feed for the animals, and keeping my coffee pot full.

Thank you for supporting the blog in this way. Your clicks and purchases help keep The 104 Homestead running and allow me to continue creating free, helpful content for you.

My Promise to You

I only recommend products and services I truly believe in. These are things I use myself, trust, or feel confident will make your homesteading life easier. If I don’t love it, I don’t link it. Simple as that.

Sponsored Content

From time to time, I may work with a brand to create sponsored content. When that happens, you’ll always see a clear disclosure at the top of the post. Sponsored posts are written entirely by me and reflect my honest opinions and experiences. I’ll never promote something I don’t stand behind.

Advertising

You’ll also notice ads on this site, which are served by third-party networks such as Raptive. These ads help keep the site up and running. While I don’t personally select every ad that appears, I do my best to ensure they fit the values and tone of The 104 Homestead. Ads will always be clearly marked.

Amazon Affiliate Program

The 104 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. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

My goal has always been to help you live a simpler, more intentional, and self-sufficient life without pressure or unnecessary noise. Any income earned through affiliate links, ads, or sponsorships simply helps keep The 104 Homestead running and allows me to continue creating content you can trust.

I truly value your support and the time you spend here. If you ever have questions about a product I’ve mentioned or a partnership I’ve shared, please reach out at jessica@104homestead.com. I’m always happy to chat and keep things transparent.

Thanks for being part of this community. Your encouragement and trust mean more to me than you know.
