Join us, as we start another season of Peoria Audubon meetings,
with Kirsten Hill, Program Manager from the Smithsonian Institution,
as she enlightens us on the benefits of their
Bird Friendly Coffee Program. And, how drinking coffee
that is
certified by the Smithsonian Institution as
Bird Friendly has major benefits to conservation and migrating
birds as well as tasting great!
- In 1996, the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center (SMBC)
organized and hosted the First Sustainable Coffee Congress.
- The 3-day Sustainable Coffee Congress brought together 270
people from 19 different countries
- Smithsonian went on develop the world’s first and only 100%
shade-grown and 100% organic coffee certification: Bird
Friendly® Coffee. This seal of approval ensures tropical "agroforests"
and the critical habitats they provide migratory birds are
preserved
- More than 1150 growers of Bird Friendly® coffee worldwide

Smithsonian Bird Friendly Coffee Program
"With this pioneering program that focuses on small producers with
organic certification—and many who are Fair Trade certified as
well—Bird Friendly coffee supports fair and stable prices for coffee
producers, healthy environments for communities, greater
biodiversity and protection for bird habitats, and equal access to
markets for Bird Friendly coffee producers."
