A: They used to be but I am suspicious now that a ‘glitch’ took down their info. I looked at the photos too and didn’t see it.

A: Hi Jennifer! Thank you for reaching out to us. Yes, our eggs are Certified Humane. Certified Humane audits a batch of our farms once per year. Additionally, every one of our 350+ farms is audited by Whole Foods every 15 months. Furthermore, our team does internal compliance audits on every one of our farms at least annually. Finally, every one of our farms has a dedicated Vital Farms farmer support team member who regularly visits the farm to offer support and to monitor whether the farmer is upholding our high ethical standards. We hope this helps, but please feel free to email us at info@vitalfarms.com if you have any additional questions.

A: Hi Je! It is always our intention for our eggs to be unfertilized as our flocks are typically a girls only affair. It would be extremely rare to get a fertile egg from us in any of our brands. While that is the case, our eggs are not guaranteed to be unfertilized. When our farmers receive the teenage hens from a pullet raiser, we do very occasionally get a rooster or two. As some of our farmers let them stay on the farm, there is a very small possibility that some eggs might be fertilized. That is a rarity though, so it would not be common to receive any fertile eggs from our ladies. Even if an egg were to be fertilized, our eggs are cooled upon collection and kept cold until they are purchased, which would prevent incubation.

A: There was a system glitch that caused the label info to disappear from the site. We are working to get it added back. Thank you for your patience.

A: Animal welfare is one of our top priorities. We care very much about this topic and encourage you to visit our website FAQ at https://vitalfarms.com/faqs/ for more information on this.

A: No, these eggs are not Organic. However, Vital Farms does offer Organic Pasture Raised eggs and these can be found in select Target stores.

A: Vital Farms 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 their girls munching on a grasshopper or snacking on a worm. Alongside the food they forage, the girls receive supplemental feed. The supplemental feed consists primarily of corn and unprocessed 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. Their 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 wellbeing.

A: It is dependent on the capabilities of your local Target store. Check with your store to find out when they will be eligible for pick up at your location.
