A USDA Certified Organic and Bird Friendly Coffee.

Bird Friendly Honduras

COMSA is home to an experimental farm called La Fortaleza where the members come together to exchange ideas with other growers. The philosophy of COMSA’s organic vision emphasizes the “5 M's”: organic Material, Microorganisms, Minerals, living Molecules, and gray Matter (brain power). All five are essential to healthy soil.

PRODUCER

Cafe Organico Marcala S.A. (COMSA) is a society of coffee producers founded in 2001. They are highly recognized locally, nationally, and internationally for their strong social responsibility and the quality of every sip of coffee it offers to the world.

At COMSA, they promote life for the land through the implementation of organic agriculture, which is based on a production system fundamentally focused on maintaining the health of the soil, the surrounding ecosystems, and the people who depend on it. Furthermore, they protect the soil with organic material and promote biotechnologies to provide the necessary nutrients for crops using soil microorganisms.

Cerulean Warbler • Dendroica cerulea

The Cerulean Warbler is a small, neotropical songbird that breeds in the eastern United States, migrates through Central America, and winters in South America. They breed in large tracts of older deciduous forests with tall trees and forage in the tops of tree canopies, often 50 feet above the ground, which means you'll have to do a bit of neck craning to see them. Cerulean Warblers are uncommon, and their populations are on the decline. Loss and degradation of habitat on the breeding and wintering grounds are the primary drivers of population declines. Conservation efforts aimed at reversing these declines are focusing on forestry practices. Bird Friendly certified farms are ideal habitats with the necessary tree height and coverage that these birds require.
