Mason Circle M The Vital Farms Difference
We began as a single farm. As we grew, we didn’t make our farm bigger. Instead, we found more like-minded farmers who put the welfare of the animals first. Today, over 450 small farms commit to our exacting standards and the farming practices that we believe are best for the hens and the land.
Our Farms
All farms in our network raise pasture-raised hens on rotated pastures, meaning our girls can spend their days outdoors roaming the pastures as they please. Pasture rotation allows the girls to forage on a new section of healthy greens every 21 days, which allows the land to recover until they come back around again!
Each hen has access to a minimum of 108 sqft. each, unlike cage-free birds that have far less freedom. On average, cage-free birds get a maximum of 1.2 sqft. of space per bird and may rarely, if ever, see the sunlight. We make sure our girls have access to fresh air and sunshine year-round.
Pasture Belt™
Vital Farms hens enjoy fresh air and sunshine in a region of the U.S. we call the Pasture Belt. Each of our small farms thrives in this region, those warmer-weather states where the winters are mild, and the girls can nosh on native grasses year-round. Because we prefer to raise winter layers, not wear them!
Our Farms
When it comes to producing food responsibly, Vital Farmers are outstanding in their fields and pastures. We’re proud to work with people as committed to animal welfare and ethical eating as we are. We support them with fair pay, in addition to resources and expert advice from our dedicated Farm Support Team.
There’s plenty more where that came from
