Disclosure Policy

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Home & Fed, your trust is everything. We believe in being completely transparent about how we earn income and any relationships that might influence our content. We'll always tell you when there's a partnership, sponsorship, or affiliate relationship involved.

Types of Partnerships

Sponsored Content When a brand pays us to create content featuring their product or service, we'll clearly disclose this at the beginning of the post with language like:

  • "This post is sponsored by [Brand]"
  • "This content is made possible through a partnership with [Brand]"
  • "Thank you to [Brand] for sponsoring this post"

Affiliate Links We participate in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a commission when you purchase products through links on our site. These commissions help support Home & Fed and allow us to continue creating free content. You'll see disclosures like:

  • "This post contains affiliate links"
  • "As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases"

Gifted Products If we receive a product for free with no obligation to post about it, and we choose to feature it, we'll disclose this with language like:

  • "Product gifted by [Brand]"
  • "[Brand] provided this product for review"

Brand Ambassadorships If we have an ongoing relationship with a brand, we'll disclose this at the beginning of relevant posts: "I'm a [Brand] ambassador" or "I have an ongoing partnership with [Brand]."

What We'll Partner With

We only partner with brands that align with our values and that we genuinely use or would recommend. This includes:

  • Kitchen equipment we believe in (KitchenAid, Le Creuset, All-Clad, etc.)
  • Food brands we genuinely love
  • Grocery stores we actually shop at (Trader Joe's, H-E-B, Whole Foods, Target)
  • Kitchen organization and storage solutions we use
  • Cookbooks we genuinely recommend
  • Companies that align with our "beautiful imperfection" philosophy

What We Won't Partner With

We will never partner with:

  • Brands that don't fit our aesthetic or values
  • Products we wouldn't actually use in our own kitchen
  • Anything that requires false enthusiasm
  • Companies with values opposed to ours
  • Cheap products designed to break
  • Anything we'd be embarrassed to recommend to a friend

Our Partnership Promise

  • Editorial Independence: Partnerships never dictate our editorial direction. We decide what content to create.
  • Honest Opinions: We'll always share our genuine opinion, even in sponsored content.
  • Reader-First: We maintain a 70/30 ratio—70% pure content, 30% can include partnerships or affiliates.
  • Alternative Options: When recommending products, we'll provide non-sponsored alternatives when possible.
  • Clear Disclosure: We'll always use clear, natural language to disclose partnerships—never hiding them in fine print.
