At Birds & Beans Coffee, we are lucky to work with other family-run food and beverage businesses that share our belief that good food should support the land, protect wildlife, and taste great. When food is grown and made with care, you can feel the difference.
This winter, we are excited to share two such friends with our Birds & Beans community. During February and March, both partners are offering a special discount to our customers as a thank-you for supporting family businesses that do things thoughtfully and responsibly.
Hi-Vue Farms: Forests, Birds, and Vermont Maple
Hi-Vue Farms is a family-owned and operated maple farm founded in 1903 and located along Vermont’s northern border in Richford, looking into Canada. Today, the farm is managed by great-granddaughter Jessica, her husband Matt, and her father Dale, with help from the next generation whenever they can be home.
Hi-Vue taps approximately 5,500 maple trees across more than 425 acres, producing pure organic maple syrup and maple products including candy, cream, and vinegar. The farm also supports a small apiary, laying hens, and other farm animals. It is a working landscape shaped by care and continuity.
Hi-Vue is a Conserved Carbon Offset Farm through the Vermont Land Trust and Cold Hollow to Canada conservation groups and is certified organic through the Northeast Organic Farming Association. The farm is also certified Bird-Friendly Maple through the Audubon Society. Protecting migratory songbird habitat and maintaining wildlife corridors are central to how the land is managed.
Hi-Vue Farms is a reminder that forests can produce food while remaining healthy, living ecosystems. That value closely aligns with the way Birds & Beans sources coffee from shade-grown farms across Central and South America.

MOCO: Hot Chocolate, Made Simply
MOCO, founded by Amy Perotti, takes a straightforward approach to hot chocolate. The focus is on real ingredients, low sugar, and great taste.
MOCO leaves out additives and mystery ingredients, using organic cacao and simple sweetening to create a rich, satisfying cup you can enjoy every day. The Classic mix is familiar and comforting, without being overly sweet.
Made with four ingredients and two superfoods, MOCO uses non-alkalized cacao for deep chocolate flavor and maca for a subtle, malty note. MOCO is also available in Peppermint and Mexican Hot varieties.
