Exclusively Bird Friendly®

At Big Year Coffee, we are dedicated to roasting and offering only Smithsonian-certified Bird Friendly® product. When you choose us, you’re not just enjoying a delicious cup you’re actively supporting the preservation of avian biodiversity and the protection of native plants and trees that are vital to healthy ecosystems worldwide.


We’re passionate about safeguarding fragile habitats by upholding the highest agroforestry standards. But what does it mean to be Bird Friendly® certified? This prestigious certification ensures that our beans are grown under strict shade and habitat requirements, promoting thriving bird populations and sustainable farming practices.

Looking for a sweet treat?

We’re also your go-to source for Bird Friendly cocoa and premium chocolate from the Zorzal region in the Dominican Republic. Many of our chocolate products use certified Bird Friendly cocoa from Zorzal Cacao, and others are sourced from nearby regions or selected simply because they taste incredible. You can indulge your sweet tooth while supporting real conservation through specialty chocolate that makes a difference.

  • 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
