Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026-05-27

Plain-language summary: Some links on HarvestGuide.ca are affiliate links. When you click one and buy something, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. This helps fund the testing kitchen and keeps the Site free to read. We never recommend a product because of the commission; only after the editorial team would buy it themselves.

Amazon Associates

HarvestGuide.ca is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases — meaning when you click an Amazon link on the Site and complete a purchase on Amazon.ca, Amazon pays us a small percentage of the order value as a referral fee.

The required Amazon notice: “As an Amazon Associate, HarvestGuide.ca earns from qualifying purchases.”

How we mark affiliate links

Every Amazon affiliate link on the Site:

• Carries rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" — search-engine signals that it is a commercial link.
• Opens in a new tab so you don’t lose your place.
• When placed in a recommendation box, displays a visible Recommended badge and an inline disclosure line beneath the link.

If a link is not marked as a recommendation box, it’s either a citation (Health Canada, Bernardin, CFIA, Statistics Canada) or an internal link — those earn us nothing.

Other affiliate programs

At the time of this writing, Amazon Associates is the only affiliate program HarvestGuide.ca participates in. We may add others in the future (Bernardin direct, kitchen-equipment retailers); when we do, we’ll update this page and disclose them the same way.

Editorial independence

Affiliate commissions do not influence which products we recommend or what we say about them. We only recommend gear we would actually use — Bernardin jars, tested-quality canners, food mills with replaceable parts, dehydrators with even airflow. If something we’ve recommended turns out to be worse than expected, we’ll update or remove the recommendation; the affiliate revenue does not buy permanence.

If we receive a product for review (none yet at the time of this writing), we’ll disclose it inline on the relevant page.

Advertising

The Site does not currently display third-party advertising. When activated, Google AdSense or a comparable network may display banner and in-content ads. Ads will be labelled as such; we have no editorial role in which ads appear (the ad network decides based on the page content and the visitor).

Your choice

You are never required to use our affiliate links. If you’d rather not, search the product name directly on Amazon.ca or buy from any retailer you prefer — the recommendations stand either way.
