The owners have dedicated land for organic coffee production. History shows the majority of the land this company purchased in the 1900’s was dedicated to forest preservation and donated back to the government of Costa Rica. This created La Amistad International Park, the largest natural reserve in Central America. This has helped them to uphold a thriving habitat that earned the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Council (SMBC) Bird Friendly Shade Grown Certification. This certifies farms are organic, deforestation-free, and guarantee habitat protection through agroforestry or forest conservation practices. Finca la Amistad is currently the only farm in Costa Rica to have SMBC certification.
