Sponsored Content & Collaboration Policy
Table of Contents
At Backyard-Farmer.com, we occasionally accept sponsored content and brand collaborations — but only when they align with the core values of our site and provide genuine value to our readers.
We focus on sustainability, gardening, DIY living, off-grid techniques, foraging, and self-sufficiency. Collaborations that don’t fall within these areas will not be considered.

- Sponsored posts that include one client link, marked appropriately
- Additional context or affiliate links where appropriate and clearly disclosed
What We Don’t Accept
- Off-topic content or promotions (e.g. gambling, crypto, pharmaceuticals)
- Thin, AI-generated, or low-quality content
- Demands for permanent do-follow links
- Requests to omit rel="sponsored" or nofollow attributes
- Content that conflicts with the ethics or direction of our platform
