</span>&l --001a114ad412b0d0af0554965017 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" hi folks, Buying it locally would be ideal, but it is not yet sold in the Annapolis Valley, so I've been having it shipped directly from Birds and Beans. It usually arrives in 2-4 days. I costed it out and ordering 5 lb bags makes the total cost (coffee + tax + shipping) about the same as ordering fair trade/organic locally. With a second person adding to the order, (so splitting the shipping), it works out to be cheaper. Birds and Beans also has 'Coffee Clubs': if you have a group of people locally that make a periodic bulk order the costs rapidly decrease. Something like this might work with the Nova Scotia Bird Society if orders were taken and coffee was distributed at monthly meetings. That said, cost is not the only important factor; there's value in supporting local businesses that have pioneered fair trade/organic (but not Smithsonian 'Bird Friendly' certified) coffee in our region (e.g. Just Us) which is so much better for birds/wildlife/people than other brands of coffee without those certifications...
