The official Bird-Friendly coffee certification is granted by the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center (SMBC) through rigorous third-party agency review. The gold standard in eco-friendly, organic farming, the seal means the coffee beans are shade grown (which maintains good forest-like habitat for birds) and are grown without the use of chemical pesticides. We carry bird-friendly coffee brands like SongBird Coffee which is also certified USDA Organic and Fair-Trade!
