I love my morning cup of coffee. It’s that quiet part of the day when I’m the only one up and the lone sounds are the chirps of a few birds that are just starting to stir.
The kind of coffee you drink can help the birds. Traditional shade-grown coffee plantations in Mexico can support more than 100 bird species, compared with 6-12 species in sun-grown monocultures.
When we make that choice to buy shade grown coffee we’re showing our support for farmers that are making those steps to transform their habitats to bird friendly havens.
Here are a few places where you can learn more about and buy shade grown coffee online. A google search on “shade grown coffee” will bring up even more results:
