Our Commitment to Transparency

At MapleSyrupBusiness.com, honesty isn’t just a policy — it’s part of who we are. This site was built for maple syrup producers, hobbyists, and enthusiasts who deserve straightforward, trustworthy information they can actually use. This disclosure page exists so you always know exactly how this site operates and how it earns money — no fine print, no surprises. When you understand how everything works, you can read our content with full confidence and trust that our recommendations are genuinely made with your interests in mind.

What Is an Affiliate Link?

An affiliate link is a special tracked URL that tells a retailer or brand that a visitor arrived at their site from MapleSyrupBusiness.com. When you click one of these links and make a purchase, this site may earn a small commission as a referral fee — at absolutely no extra cost to you. You pay exactly the same price you would if you had gone directly to the retailer’s website; commissions come out of the retailer’s end, not your pocket. These commissions are a practical way to keep MapleSyrupBusiness.com running, free to access, and full of fresh, useful content. Think of it as a quiet “thank you” that flows from the retailer to this site whenever a recommendation leads to a purchase you were already happy to make.

Affiliate Programs We Participate In

MapleSyrupBusiness.com currently participates in the following affiliate programs. Wherever these links appear in our content, they may result in a commission to this site.

Amazon Associates

Required Disclosure As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

MapleSyrupBusiness.com links to maple syrup equipment, supplies, tapping tools, evaporators, books, and more available on Amazon.com. When you click one of those links and complete a purchase — whether it’s the item you clicked on or something else in the same session — this site earns a small commission. Again, the price you pay is completely unaffected.

Commission Junction (CJ Affiliate)

This site also participates in the CJ Affiliate network (formally known as Commission Junction), one of the largest and most established affiliate marketing platforms in the world. Through CJ Affiliate, MapleSyrupBusiness.com may earn commissions from various brands and retailers relevant to the maple syrup industry — such as specialty suppliers, agricultural equipment companies, and food-related retailers. The arrangement works the same way: a click on one of these links may earn a commission, and your purchase price is never affected.

Other Affiliate Programs

From time to time, MapleSyrupBusiness.com may join additional affiliate programs or networks as new products, services, or partners become relevant to our audience. Whenever that happens, the same principles of transparency apply — affiliated links will be clearly labeled or disclosed near the content in which they appear, and commissions will never influence editorial integrity. This page will be updated to reflect any new programs as they are added.

Good to know: You can always identify sponsored or affiliate-linked content on this site by looking for a short disclosure notice near the top of any article, review, or product recommendation that contains affiliate links.

How We Choose What to Recommend

Every product, tool, book, or service recommended on MapleSyrupBusiness.com is chosen based on genuine usefulness — not on which item pays the highest commission rate. Recommendations are grounded in personal experience with maple syrup production, careful research, and a real understanding of what producers and enthusiasts at every level actually need. This site only points readers toward products and services that are believed to be of good quality and genuinely helpful for making, bottling, selling, or enjoying maple syrup. Affiliate status does not influence rankings, review scores, or editorial opinions — if something isn’t worth your money, you won’t find it recommended here. The goal is simple: to be the kind of resource you’d trust enough to bookmark and come back to season after season.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is made in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255), including the updated guidelines that took effect in 2023. In addition to this dedicated disclosure page, individual articles and posts containing affiliate links carry inline disclosures placed clearly near those links — so you never have to hunt for the fine print. MapleSyrupBusiness.com takes FTC compliance seriously and actively monitors updates to FTC guidance, updating its disclosure practices accordingly as regulations evolve.
