In support of our goal to increase general B Corp awareness, this month we are sharing some of the committee’s favorites with you. We had a few requests in our team meeting poll for features of other B Corps, so we’re sharing some of our favorites with you.
- TROY | Finnriver Farm & Cidery
Finnriver Farm & Cidery is a favorite of mine because they are conscious stewards of the land while crafting fantastic products. If you are ever looking for a delightful aperitif to go with a homemade pie I highly recommend their Pommeau!
- DAVID & SCOTT | patagonia
David – After years of seeing my Columbia jacket fade, my wife decided it was time for a new one. I opted for a Patagonia jacket in part because of their commitment to do Business Unusual.Scott – Patagonia because they have embraced their ethos, giving back 1% of their profits for the planet, supporting over 1,020 non-profits, and providing an on-line portal called Patagonia Action Works where you can choose a grassroots group to give to on behalf of your friends or family. They also provide education and awareness through inspiring, adventure style documentaries on Youtube. Here is a link to one of their newest short films about falconry Game Hawker.
- PHOEBE | Hopworks Urban Brewery
Hopworks Urban Brewery not only makes great beer but was almost a client of mine when I was a consultant. I was introduced to the company back in 2009 by a colleague. They were just starting to ramp up their operations and needed more time than I could commit to because I had recently picked up a client that was taking up more and more of my time; that client was Evergreen.
- ERIC | Crosby Hop Farm
My favorite B Corp is Crosby Hop Farm, because they are dedicated to growing hops in a way that limits its overall impact, while creating a delicious ingredient for beer.
- MICHELLE | BLUELAND
Little by little, I’m opting to support other B Corps with products that I use daily around the house. One of my favorites so far is BLUELAND and their mission for A Cleaner Tomorrow. Their foaming hand soap smells lovely and does the trick! I’m also a big fan of their plant-based and dishwasher safe Scrub Sponge. (Grove Collaborative comin’ in hot as a close second!)
This isn’t even the tip of the iceberg. There are MANY more amazing B Corps out there who offer great products and services. You can find more awesome B Corps in THIS POST we did a while back, or hop on over to the B Corp Directory for the full list.
