Description
Vital Farms Eggs begin with pasture-raised hens who enjoy a minimum of 108 square feet each of room to roam on small family farms. Our girls have the freedom to forage for local grasses, succulents and wildflowers on rotated pastures while enjoying fresh air and sunshine. Vital Farms began as a single-family farm. As we grew, we didn’t make our farm bigger – we found more like-minded farmers who put the welfare of their feathered friends first. Today, we work with over 350 small family farms who give the girls the outdoor lifestyle they deserve.

Q: Are these eggs also pasteurized?
A: Hi Kat, as is the case for most in shell eggs, our raw in shell eggs are not pasteurized. If you have to crack one of our products open, it is not pasteurized. Our liquid whole egg and the cream used to make our butter is pasteurized. For additional information on safe food handling of shell eggs (raw and cooked), we recommend visiting this USDA site: https://tinyurl.com/yyvdn2cu.

Q: Why do the organic eggs weigh 12 oz and the others weigh 1.5 lb? Thanks!
A: Hi there! Eggs are graded by carton weight, so occasionally you will see smaller eggs in with larger ones, but they should never all be small. We are required to weigh each carton to ensure compliance and we absolutely do this. Please shoot us an email at info@vitalfarms.com if you have any other questions.

Q: Does the organic feed contain soy or corn? Thank you.
A: Hi there! Our hens spend their days foraging in the pastures, seeking out native and seasonal grasses like clover, rye, and wild onion. They don’t stop with plants, though! You’ll often catch our girls munching on a grasshopper or snacking on a worm. Alongside the food they forage, our girls receive supplemental feed. The supplemental feed consists primarily of corn and soybean meal, which the hens need for protein, as well as additional natural ingredients including paprika and marigold, which, along with their outdoor snacks, provide nutrients and help the hens produce eggs with deep orange yolks that our consumers prefer. Our supplemental feed is developed by an animal nutritionist, ensuring the girls receive all the nutrients they need to support their health, active lifestyles, and overall well-being. Supplemental feed is provided to our hens in the barns and they can peck at it as they wish throughout the day to ensure they get all the nutrients they need. Because our girls get to choose how they spend their days, some girls spend more time outdoors foraging and feasting on natural grasses and crunchy critters, and some girls prefer to spend more time in the barns munching on the supplemental feed. It really varies from girl to girl!

Q: What's the difference between the USDA organic feed for the organic pasture raised eggs and the conventional feed for pasture raised eggs?
A: Hi Mike! Thanks for reaching out with your question about our different egg cartons. All of our eggs are pasture-raised from family farms where the hens have the freedom to forage outdoors year-round. Our farmers do not use any herbicides or pesticides on any of our small family farms. The girls' foraging naturally maintains the land. What differentiates these cartons of eggs is the supplemental feed that the girls receive. Our organic eggs come from girls that are given feed that meets USDA organic standards. Our organic eggs are also non-GMO (reminder - anything that's organic will always be non-GMO!). The eggs in our standard black lid carton come from girls that receive conventional feed. Our conventional feed is far from conventional though! When a new farm joins, we start with a recommended mix, and then continue to adjust based on the needs of the flock. Our farmers and Farmer Support Team closely monitor the girls and cater the feed to their needs year-round. I hope that helps clear things up, but please email us at info@vitalfarms.com if you have any other questions.

Q: Do these chickens have 100% outdoor living 100% of their life times or only outdoor access? (Since there two different things) Thanks in advance for answering my question.
A: Vital Farms hens have outdoor access daily, sun up to sun down! Around sundown the hens are herded back indoors to sleep safely inside.
