Bird Friendly Coffee Club

Picture
Wouldn’t you like to wake up every morning knowing that you are doing your part to preserve important bird habitat?

Western Cuyahoga Audubon has organized a Coffee Club to purchase and enjoy bird friendly coffee! If you are not already drinking shade-grown, organic coffee, you will be thrilled by the rich, clean flavor of Birds & Beans coffees. Birds and Beans coffees are certified as bird friendly by the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center.  

​Western Cuyahoga Audubon has partnered with the Birds and Beans Coffee Company to offer shade-grown, bird friendly coffee to WCAS Members and the public.

Birds and Beans donates back 5% of Western Cuyahoga Audubon annual coffee sales to support Western Cuyahoga Audubon Society educational conservation programs. Purchase Birds and Beans, Smithsonian Bird Friendly®, USDA Organic, Fair-Trade Certified Coffee.


Important! Due to tariffs affecting the price of coffee, we have temporarily halted coffee sales. Sales will resume in mid-March 2026 for an April 10, 2026 order.

Order your coffee before the 10th of the first month of each quarter for pick up or drop off delivery that same month. Orders will be placed in January, April, July, and October.

You can place your order online or contact Nancy Howell to order via mail.

Coffee Announcement
