Affiliate Link Disclosure:
Food Forest Plants NZ is part of Piwakawaka Valley Ltd. Piwakawaka Valley is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
Affiliate links on this site are based on personal experience and regard for the products listed. I only share resources and services that we have personal experience with and can recommend without reservation. If you have any questions on these providers and our experience with them, please feel free to ask.
Some links do not have any affiliation or compensation whatsoever but are added based on merit.
I occasionally make recommendations on this blog, which include links to helpful resources. Some of those links are affiliate links where a commission is received for each sale.
These recommendations are based first and foremost on their merit. I make them either because of their value, helpfulness, and quality, or based on our direct or indirect knowledge of the author’s reputation, track record, and level of expertise.
