Agritourism as a value-added farm activity
Coffee farmers face many sustainability challenges including climate change, Leaf Rust disease, and volatile prices of coffee traded as a commodity in the world markets, among others. Many farmers look for creative solutions to overcome these challenges, by improving the quality of their beans, growing specialty coffee varieties, exploring direct trade channels, and adding alternative income sources to their farm operation, like coffee farm tours.
Agritourism can provide income to farmers and their families reducing the pressure to emigrate from the coffee regions in search of jobs. On our coffee trips, when you visit a coffee farm you will experience first hand, the process of growing, harvesting, processing and roasting quality coffee. The experiences are led by coffee farmers, local tour guides and entrepreneurs that are committed to sustainable tourism practices.
We work with coffee farmers, specialty coffee shops, and local tour guides to offer amazing experiences that include:
- Interactive and hands-on coffee farm visits and coffee tours
- On-site coffee tastings
- Coffee roasting demos
- Specialty coffee cupping sessions
- Bird watching walks in the farms
- Multi-day travel itineraries
- Origin trips for interested coffee buyers
Birds & Coffee Relationship
Shade-grown coffee farms are important habitat for Neotropical migratory birds
Coffee farms with tree shade cover in the highlands of Honduras are a very important habitat for Neotropical migratory birds and great places for birdwatching, photography, and nature tours. Many of the birds that you see in North America in the spring and summer will spend their winter in Central and South America. Therefore it is very important for us to protect and conserve their wintering habitats so that they can be healthy and ready for the flight back to their breeding grounds.
Birds & Coffee Trip
Enjoy a leisurely birdwatching tour through the coffee-growing highlands of Honduras. Great birding locations around Lake Yojoa, Santa Barbara National Park, Marcala, El Jilguero Reserve, and Copan.
During the trip we will be birding in tree-shade coffee farms, and in forests and open spaces near the coffee farms. In this slow paced birding tour, you will have a chance to meet coffee farmers to learn about growing, harvesting and processing quality coffee, and of course we will enjoy delicious, high altitude, shade grown coffee!
How can we help migratory birds?
There are many things that we can do to help migratory birds. In our case, creating birding and nature tours that have a positive economic impact in the communities we visit is very important. We also organize events in the coffee growing regions to create awareness for the important link between birds and coffee, and to share the message that a healthy ecosystem for birds is a healthy ecosystem for humans.
What can you do to help migratory birds?
- Take a birdwatching trip to the tropics, with a birding tour company committed to sustainable tourism practices. Your birding trip can make a positive impact in the host country.
- Buy and drink "good coffee". Make sure it is Bird-friendly Certified, or at least organic, and sourced from a shade grown coffee farm.
