Ingredients & Purity

Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin D due to natural foraging. No antibiotics or hormones used.

Scientific Evidence

Certified Humane Raised and Handled; Non-GMO Project Verified. Research shows pasture-raised eggs contain significantly more Vitamin A, E, and Omega-3s.

Brand Transparency

Industry-leading transparency; users can enter a farm name from the carton on their website to see 360-degree views of the farm.

Value Assessment

Higher price point than conventional eggs, but the nutrient density and ethical standards justify the cost for health-conscious consumers.

Why Not Alternatives?

Most 'cage-free' or 'free-range' brands only provide minimal outdoor access or none at all; Vital Farms is one of the few large-scale brands that strictly adheres to the 108 sq ft pasture-raised standard with third-party auditing.
