Vital Farms is based in Austin, Texas, and produces pastureāraised organic eggs that
can be found in Whole Foods stores across the country. Currently, 15,000 laying
hens are pastured on four different farms in Texas and Arkansas. Birds are either
housed in converted cotton trailers that are moved to new pasture every week, or in
fixed houses with eight sections of pasture that are also rotated regularly. Each bird
has access to approximately 25 square feet of native grasses, carefully managed
through rotation to maintain healthy pasture.
They write:
Vital Farms is home to some of the happiest hens in the world. Our girls live like
birds should, on organic green pasture under open skies, so their eggs are better for
you, tastier, and much more humane!
