Our Bird-Friendly Coffee Story
Did you know that half of Americans start their day with a cup of coffee, yet few realize the environmental footprint of each sip?
At Birds & Beans Coffee, we believe in coffee that goes beyond taste — coffee that gives back. Founded in 2008 by Bill Wilson, a passionate conservationist and bird lover, our family-owned business began with a mission: to bring harmony to coffee consumption by supporting ecosystems that sustain our beloved bird populations. Today, with Bill’s daughter Chessy joining the team, Birds & Beans has grown into a leading voice for sustainable coffee practices.
What sets us apart? Our unwavering dedication to certified standards that matter: USDA Organic, Fair Trade, and Smithsonian Bird Friendly® certification. These aren’t just labels — they’re promises to protect biodiversity and support ethical trade. And with every bag of coffee, 5% goes directly to conservation efforts, making each cup a small act of preservation.
We’re proud to be your Bird Friendly Coffee company. Each bean, every bag, is carefully curated with respect for the environment, empowering you to make a positive impact with your daily coffee ritual.
Thank you for joining us in the journey toward responsible, sustainable coffee. Together, we can create a ripple effect that nurtures both people and the planet.
