Organic Egg Scorecard

See how the best brands make it to the top of our Organic Egg Scorecard, then use it to buy the brand that’s right for you. When you can’t afford a 4 or a 5, a 3 is a solid choice. While they lack the transparency and stellar farming practices of 4s and 5s, these brands are not among the most industrialized operations either. Want to go deeper? Read our detailed breakdown of the Organic Egg Scorecard criteria and learn how to decode labels on organic egg cartons.

Brand Name	Rating	Market Area	Score
5-eggThis category of producers represents the “gold standard” in organic egg production. These brands are especially dedicated to the ideals of organic agriculture and go above and beyond the minimum requirements set by the organic standards. Producers in this top tier manage diverse, small-to-medium-scale family farms. They emphasize well-managed outdoor areas, have a high standard for animal welfare, and land stewardship.
