That's great. I just got my grinder and bought a bag of Birds & Beans medium
roast so I'll be trying them both right after I post this.
I suspect the uncertified bird-friendly blends from Sissiboo would have to
be second and perhaps JustUS blends would be third?

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Birds & Beans coffee at Organic Earth Market
We had some Birds and Beans Certified Bird Friendly Coffee this weekend at
the citizen science expo which was so fresh and flavourful that my wife is
now hooked also.
David Pritchard, prez of Birds and Beans, is really excited about all the
interest that is being shown out here. He was excellent to deal with and
even paid for express shipping to get it to NS in time for our event.
Having this now available in NS is a great step; now is a great time to be
thinking about how we can be promoting this...
As a side note, I think we should be taking this opportunity to rate the
spectrum of coffees available in NS in terms of their impact on (or benefits
to) birds. Although Bird Friendly Certified is likely the most beneficial to
birds, organic and fair trade products still probably rate much lower, in
terms of impacts on birds, than do products that are not. What would be
valuable is a rating system that helps people to make the optimal decision
when given a choice between Tim Horton's, McDonalds, Laughing Whale,
JustUs!, T.A.N, Folgers and Starbucks. Knowing these differences might also
help influence demand.
Seafood folks have done a good job at doing this type of thing to help
people make wiser seafood choices - (e.g.,
http://www.seachoice.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/SC_card_2012_5panel_web.
pdf). I'd like to see one for coffee put forth by some of the strong voices
in the NS bird world...
cheers,

Subject: [NatureNS] Birds & Beans coffee at Organic Earth Market
I just received the following message from Birds & Beans. I may get there
later today to see if Organic Earth Market has it on the shelf yet. Thanks
to everyone else who contacted them too.
"I have some good news - late last week we sent the initial shipment of
coffee to the Organic Earth Market - it should be there and available to
purchase now.
It is my understanding that they received a number of requests from people -
so thank you very much for your effort. They seem to be a really good choice
of a partner for us.
We are excited to be there and look forward to working with them to promote
Bird Friendly coffee in Halifax."
