‘Vital Farms Organic Eggs’
Pasture-raised usda-certified organic Eggs
We never use pesticides, herbicides or harmful chemicals on any of our farms (and we work with over 100 family-owned farms now!), so every single one of our hens enjoys a foraged diet that is as natural as possible. But, the happy hens that lay these organic pasture-raised eggs might be the luckiest of all as even the carefully formulated feed that we provide for them is USDA Certified Organic. That makes for eggs that are the most delicious, nutritious and ethical you can find!
‘Lucky Ladies’
Pasture-raised Non GMO Project-Verified Eggs
The girls that lay our Lucky Ladies are free to roam their open pastures from morning till night, feasting on fresh grass and foraging for whatever nature provides. We do provide them with a Non-GMO Project Verified feed that is anti-biotic free and perfectly formulated for their specific nutritional requirements, but what they find for themselves is what makes pasture-raised eggs noticeably better than all other eggs. Find them at your nearest store, and taste the difference for yourself!
‘Alfresco Eggs’
Pasture-raised Eggs
With acres of fresh pasture to roam from morning till night, our girls get to frolic and forage to their heart’s content, dining on a natural feast of grass and goodies every day in addition to the carefully formulated supplemental feed that we provide for them. That makes for eggs that are more delicous, more nutritious, and unquestionably ethical.
What’s the Difference Between Our Eggs?
With all this space…
It’s no wonder pasture-raised eggs are a
Big Deal!
The girls get to eat whatever they like from the pastures, but we also provide a balanced supplemental feed to make sure they get the nutrients they need to stay healthy.
With room to roam, our girls get to be themselves! Natural behaviors like socializing reduce stress and keep them happy.
No two days are the same out on the pastures, so our girls enjoy a mixed diet of grass and foraged goodies that change with the seasons.
Roaming can be thirsty work, so we make sure that there’s always plenty of fresh water available.
Chickens are naturally cautious and curious, so tree cover offers both a safe retreat from exploring and cool shade on hotter days. (Plus, tree roots are a magnet for bugs!)
Sunshine and fresh air are as good for our girls as it is for you and I. And it helps boost the vitamin D content of their eggs.
Sustainable farming means treating the land with respect too, so our pastures are pesticide- and herbicide-free (and naturally ‘fertilized!)
PASTURE-RAISED hens enjoy a minimum of 108 square feet per bird to roam free.
They forage grass, can go outside whenever they like, and are NEVER given antibiotics!
FREE-RANGE HENS rarely go outside less than 2 square feet per hen
Antibiotics permitted, diet exclusively of corn/soy
CAGE-FREE HENS confined to a barn about 1 square foot per hen
antibiotics permitted, diet exclusively of corn/soy
CAGED HENS (newer regs.) confined to tiny cages less than 110 square inches per hen
antibiotics permitted, diet exclusively of corn/soy
CAGED HENS confined to tiny cages less than 67 square inches per hen
antibiotics permitted, diet exclusively of corn/soy
Pastures rotation – moving the girls onto different sections every few days – protects the land and means the girls always have the freshest grass to forage.
Our Butter

What Y’all Say About Us
Texas Chicken Ranch Pasture-raised eggs look and taste the way I remember from my childhood. The only thing that would please me more would be to live close enough to your farm to buy them the day they are laid. When Mama sent me to the store for eggs she would say, “Now don’t come … Read more "Sylvia J."

Oh I bought a half dozen of your eggs from Whole Foods here in New Orleans and could see the difference when I cracked the first egg. Man did they taste good, so good that I went back the next day and purchased a dozen. I am 65 and they reminded me of when I … Read more "Anthony B."
