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.
