Smithsonian Bird Friendly®

Proudly Serving Biodiversity

The Smithsonian Bird Friendly® certification is the environmental gold standard in sustainable coffee and cocoa production.

When you purchase Bird Friendly® certified coffee or cocoa, you preserve critical habitat for birds and wildlife, fight climate change, protect biodiversity, and support farmers committed to farming sustainably.
