American Hiking Society has made a deal with Higher Ground coffee to help pay for trail work in the Southeast United States.

This medium-bodied coffee carries a taste of wild berries and a subtle dark chocolate finish. Better yet, the coffee is certified Fair Trade, and since it’s shade grown, its songbird friendly!

Have to admire the marketing savvy of the folks at Higher Ground: somehow word has reached them that hikers and campers are among the coffee-drinkingest folks on the planet. The songbirds are thankful to finally get a break, but the young, disaffected ones are working on their protest ballads.
