Organic Large Brown Eggs

Price varies
USDA OrganicCage-Free PlusNon-GMO Feed

While these eggs carry the USDA Organic certification, they are labeled as 'Cage-Free Plus' rather than 'Pasture-Raised,' meaning they lack the significant nutrient density (Vitamin D and Omega-3s) found in birds with 108+ sq. ft. of outdoor forage. They are a reliable mid-tier option that avoids antibiotics and synthetic pesticides, but they do not meet the gold standard for yolk viscosity or animal welfare.
