Treasured Canadian artist, Mrs. Margaret Atwood

Balzac's Coffee Roasters is delighted to partner with one of Canada's most treasured artists and protectors of birdlife, Margaret Atwood. Ms. Atwood has lent her name and her taste buds in creating The Atwood Blend, a Smithsonian Institute certified BIRD FRIENDLY© blend. $1.00 of the proceeds from each pound sold will be donated to the Pelee Island Bird Observatory.

Situated at the western end of Lake Erie, The Pelee Island Bird Observatory (PIBO) is a non-profit organization devoted to the study and conservation of migratory birds. PIBO’s purpose is to collect and disseminate data that will help to better understand changes taking place in the populations of migratory birds. To learn more, visit www.PIBO.ca
