Ingredients & Purity

Hens are raised on pesticide-free pastures with a supplemental organic, non-GMO feed. The resulting eggs have deep orange yolks indicating high carotenoid content.

Scientific Evidence

Certified Humane Pasture Raised and USDA Organic. Third-party studies show pasture-raised eggs contain up to 2x more Vitamin E and 2.5x more Omega-3 fatty acids than conventional eggs.

Brand Transparency

Industry-leading transparency; every carton features a farm name that can be entered on their website to view a 360-degree video of the specific farm and its conditions.

Value Assessment

While premium priced, it is widely available in major retailers, often making it the most cost-effective way to guarantee true pasture-raised standards without a local farm share.

Why Not Alternatives?

Unlike 'Cage-Free' or 'Free-Range' competitors (like standard Pete & Gerry's), Vital Farms guarantees 108 square feet of outdoor space per bird, resulting in significantly higher Vitamin D and Omega-3 content compared to indoor-confined hens.
