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.

The Cocoa Collection

Our cacao partners source from Zorzal — a farm inside a private bird sanctuary in the Dominican Republic. Every purchase protects the habitat of the Bicknell's Thrush.

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.
