Coffee That Protects What You Love

The Gold Standard for Bird Habitat
Smithsonian Bird Friendly® is the most rigorous certification in sustainable coffee. These farms maintain true forest canopy — diverse, layered, alive — not token shade trees. Migratory birds that summer in the Pacific Northwest winter on these very farms. When you buy Big Year, those farms get a premium for keeping the forests standing.

Bird Friend Cocoa
The cacao at Zorzal grows inside a private nature reserve, the farm exists because of the birds, not the other way around. It's the most bird-friendly chocolate on earth.
As an avian ecologist I began Big Year Coffee to bring Bird Friendly certified coffee to a wider audience of birdwatchers worldwide. Whether you are love delivious coffee in your home or you are a cafe wanting to protect bird habitat - join our bird friendly movement.
