It’s still Passover, so I’m thinking perhaps more than usual about food. But before I get to this month’s profile…

Exciting News: Principled Profit Blog Wins Its Third Award in A Month!

I’ve been blogging on the intersections of media, marketing, ethics, politics, and sustainability since 2004, at https://www.principledprofit.com/good-business-blog/ And all of a sudden, people are starting to notice! Beginning March 14, I’ve been notified that my blog has won three different awards!

• Ripple 6 list of Best Big Business Blogs (B4) (emphasis on using social media–and pretty funny, considering I’m a one-person, home-based company):  “Clearly one of the best on blogging with good coverage on B4 issues.”
• 50 Best Business Ethics Blogs: “information on good business practices, high ethical standards, and those who got it wrong…This blog devotes itself to good business. Shel Horowitz is an expert on business ethics as a success driver.”
• Semi-finalist, 2009 Blogger Appreciation Awards (general excellence)

If you want to see what the fuss is about, go visit the blog. You can even sign up to hear about new posts through either RSS or e-mail.

Now on to this month’s profile.

Positive Power Spotlight: America’s Regional Best!

Recently, I saw an ad for RegionalBest.com on last month’s profiled business, HARO, and when I clicked over, I very much liked what I saw.

Here’s the mission statement:

We’re an online market offering some of the best local foods from across the country – America’s Regional Best! All are produced by artisans, farmers and other small, family-owned specialty food companies. Many of these regional foods are all natural and organic and use the finest local ingredients. We advocate and applaud sustainable farming and production practices.

Pretty hard to argue with that!

And I like the way the site is organized: click on a region of the country to get all the products from that region, or click on the nav bar to get all products within a category such as cheeses, gift items, or vegan products. For New England, where I live, you get not only the expected (Maine lobster, Vermont maple syrup products,blueberries and so forth, but also the unexpected, like vegan or traditional baklava, cereals, crackers, and such.
