Setting a higher standard for farming practices and animal care across an entire industry doesn’t happen without ruffling a few feathers—we squawk the squawk and walk the walk. Proudly B Corp Certified and Certified Humane, we were the first to pave the way for better and we’re still doing it best.
B Corporation Certified
In 2013, we became the first egg producers in the U.S. to receive B Corp certification, reinforcing our longstanding commitment to people and planet while living our mission to bring better eggs to your table.
Certified Humane
As the first egg producers to seek and receive the rigorous and science-backed Certified Humane certification, we’ve paved the way for improved animal welfare conditions across the entire industry and inspired others to follow.
USDA Certified Organic
When it comes to producing our USDA Certified Organic eggs, every single step is part of a larger, all-natural and sustainable ecosystem; from natural soil, free from synthetic pesticides to nutritious, organically-grown feed.
The FDA cites eggs as a healthy, nutrient-dense source of protein, particularly beneficial for infants, toddlers, pregnant people, and lactating individuals.
Studies show that the carbon footprint of eggs is nearly 6x lower than that of beef.
Our innovative partnership model secures the livelihoods of over 200 family farms, empowering American farmers to do what they do best on a sustainable scale.
Around 80% of eggs consumed in the U.S. come from hens living indoors in cramped factory barns. Partnering with family farms has the opposite effect, promoting flock health with ample space to roam.
Through our annual environmental, social, and governance commitments and B Corp audits, we remain informed of our full business impact and actively identify areas of improvement. Promoting a healthier planet is at the root of our practices, from the family farms we support to the recycled cartons you see at your local store.
