Whether it’s the work perks, camaraderie with fellow co-workers, or a passion for the business’ product or service, there are many components that play into a company’s “cool” factor. Where we live, we’re lucky to have a ton of places that meet all the criteria above, plus more, which was the inspiration behind this month’s feature. Starting on page 39, you can read about 17 places headquartered here that anyone would be lucky to work at. Some have been around for over a century, others started small and are now internationally known, and a few have dog-friendly digs or do impressive amounts of community service. I’m pretty positive there’s a company, and office culture, that’ll strike a chord with you. And if you happen to be job hunting, word on the street is some are currently hiring! Wherever you’re at in your professional or personal journey, let this issue be a reminder that it’s never too late to flip the script and try something new. Cheers!

slaughter-free farm allows its animals to enjoy the idyllic setting<br />
as much as we do: roaming the pasture and sitting in the shade.<br />
Goodies include freshly churned butter, fromage blanc (cheese),<br />
Greek yogurt, halloumi-style cheese, fresh eggs, and ice cream.<br />
Fun fact: You can stay at their Airbnb, which accommodates up to<br />
eight guests (four bedrooms) and watch a cow milking, help feed<br />
the animals, explore the pond and creek, or simply relax on the<br />
deck with some fresh ice cream from the farm.—LA<br />

Jessica Osterday started Gracias Chocolate<br />
in 2014, hoping to create a chocolate that<br />
“charmed the senses, was different from<br />
the rest, and infused with the magic of<br />
creation.” Viewing chocolate as a balm to<br />
both soul and body, Osterday sought to make<br />
a healthier product. To that end, she melds pure,<br />
unroasted Ecuadorian cacao with maca root, a superfood touted<br />
for its natural energy source, creating a rustic and memorable<br />
stone-ground texture. Her more adventurous flavors include fig<br />
balsamic with black salt and citrus habanero with hazelnuts—both<br />
of which can be found locally at Sunrise Natural Foods, New<br />
Dawn Bakery, and more.<br />
Fun fact: These chocolate bars are diet-friendly and<br />
environmentally friendly. They’re made without soy, dairy, or<br />
gluten; sweetened with coconut and maple sugar; and packaged in<br />
biodegradable wrapping.—LA<br />

Family-owned and operated, this<br />
farm approaches food production<br />
with an animal-loving mindset that<br />
focuses on ethical practices and a<br />
concern for the happiness of their<br />
cows and chickens. Here, cows<br />
live together with their calves in<br />
stable social groups and they’re only<br />
milked once daily in a low-stress<br />
environment. (In contrast, typical<br />
dairy farms separate calves from<br />
their mothers and milk cows up to<br />
three times per day.) The completely<br />
