Our goal at Big Year Coffee is to change the agricultural business to protect birds from harmful farming practices while providing delicious, high-quality coffee. We have perfected our roasting techniques by roasting only Bird Friendly® beans, meaning you get the highest quality coffee from a trusted roasting process. 

Not only is our coffee certified Smithsonian Bird Friendly® but it is also certified USDA organic, containing less pesticides and herbicides than traditional coffee. We also use compostable packaging that is TUV home compostable verified. Just remove the sticker and compost away! We are always working to make our business as sustainable as possible and trying to minimize our carbon footprint.

Furthermore, our head roaster and founder is a trained avian ecologist. Avery holds a Master of Science in Wildlife Science from the University of Washington. He has contributed to bird conservation efforts as an avian researcher and field technician in Denali and Yosemite National Parks. His efforts have notably aided in the protection of long-distance migratory species on their breeding grounds, which inhabit coffee fields during the winter months. This truly epitomizes Bird Friendly® practices.
