1) Organically grown coffee means more songbirds. Because most organic farms use shade trees to mimic coffee's natural growing environment, our avian friends are provided with a protective habitat. Typical chemical-using coffee farms eliminate the natural shade-tree canopy. 2) You can start the day with a clear conscience. Conventionally grown coffee is one of the most toxic crops on earth.
