What is Bird Friendly® Certified?

Farm Criteria

  • Native Trees

    Each farm must have at least 10 native tree species present, with a minimum canopy height of 12m (39ft).

  • Shade Requirements

    A majority of our coffee is 100% shade grown which is necessary for most organic farming practices. This ensures a diverse canopy above and we also encourage forest patches on neighboring landscapes.

  • Structural Diversity

    The “architecture” of each coffee farm must show evidence of some layers, preferably three. 
    1. Backbone tree species
    2. Emergent species
    3. Shrubs & small trees
