Brewing with a Purpose: The Bird-Friendly Coffees of Pike House

At Pike House Coffee, every bean we roast carries a deeper story—one of sustainability, conservation, and exceptional craftsmanship. That’s why we proudly offer Bird-Friendly® Certified Coffee, ensuring that your daily ritual supports the preservation of critical habitats for migratory birds.

What Is Bird-Friendly Coffee?

Certified by the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center (SMBC), Bird-Friendly® Coffee is the gold standard for sustainable coffee production. Unlike conventional sun-grown coffee, which contributes to deforestation and habitat loss, bird-friendly farms grow coffee under a natural shade canopy, preserving ecosystems that support migratory birds, pollinators, and other wildlife. These farms also use organic farming methods, keeping harmful chemicals out of the soil, water, and our coffee.

Why It Matters

Many migratory birds that visit North America each year rely on forests in coffee-growing regions to survive the winter. However, deforestation for coffee plantations has put many of these species at risk. By choosing Bird-Friendly® Certified coffee, you're helping to:

  • Protect critical bird habitats by supporting shade-grown farms.

  • Encourage sustainable farming that prioritizes biodiversity.

  • Support farmers committed to conservation and fair-trade practices.
