What is “Bird Friendly” Coffee?

Simply put, “Bird Friendly” coffee is coffee that comes from farms in Latin America that provide good, forest-like habitat for birds. Rather than being grown on land that has been cleared of all other vegetation, “Bird Friendly” coffees are planted under a canopy of trees. They are also organic, meaning they are grown without the use of chemical pesticides which poison the environment.

Our Organic Bird Friendly coffees are generally grown on small, family owned farms and under diversified shade cover – the natural habitat of hundreds of species of migratory songbirds. These bird populations act as a natural defense against many of the bugs and pests that can ruin a coffee crop.
