Joining the Bird Friendly® program is easy. First, review the Bird Friendly shade-management criteria for farms. If these shade criteria are present on your farm, contact your nearest Bird Friendly certification agency to schedule an inspection.

For questions about achieving Bird Friendly shade standards, information on the benefits of the Bird Friendly seal of approval or to express interest in becoming certified, contact the Bird Friendly coffee team.
