Van der Brohe Arboretum

We are so incredibly thank you to Barnwood Coffee Company for partnering to support our mission!

💵 $1 from every bag (or K-Cup box) will go directly back to the Arboretum to help us continue in our efforts to help the birds!

We are just in love with the name Barnwood Coffee Company gave our roast: Joya oculta or "hidden gem" to honor the community treasure that Van der Brohe Arboretum is to this community.

Here's a description of the coffee roast from Barnwood:

☕ This lovely, medium roasted coffee, has notes of toffee, praline, and mellow fresh citrus zest; with a juicy citric acidity and a candy-like sweetness.

A portion of the proceeds from every bag sold will not only support the Van der Brohe Arboretum's mission, but the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center's mission as well.

Barnwood will be joining us on select Saturdays this summer with brewed coffee and roasted bags for sale. They'll be in the parking lot, so you can grab a cup of joe and hit the trails to hang out with the birds!
