*Birds and Beans*

*Bill Wilson – Jenks Center, Winchester*

Half of the people in the US have a cup of coffee every day but few
understand the environmental impact of coffee. Even fewer prioritize origin
and know how coffee farming affects people, farms, forests, and birds all
over the world.



Bill Wilson is the co-founder and Managing Partner of Birds & Beans coffee.
With the help of three other families and support from Scott Weidensaul,
Bridget Stutchbury and Kenn Kaufman, they launched their company in 2008 to
save the Smithsonian ‘Bird Friendly®’ shade grown coffee certification.
Bill shares the story of Birds & Beans, which is not only Bird Friendly®,
but also USDA Organic, and Fair Trade, and show how this approach helps to
save birds, tropical forests, family farmers and their workers, local rural
economies and the Earth we all share.


Doors open at 6:30 for set up and social time and the meeting starts
promptly at 7:00 PM.

Hope to see you there!
