Both Vital Farms Free-Range and Pasture-Raised eggs come from hens with meaningful outdoor access, but the amount of outdoor space differs. Pasture-Raised hens have access to at least 108 square feet of outdoor pasture per bird. To put that in perspective, a typical Pasture-Raised flock has access to about 50 acres of pasture. Free-Range hens have over 21 square feet of outdoor space per bird, or approximately 10 acres for a typical flock.
Both offerings reflect Vital Farms’ commitment to animal care, product quality, and transparency. Free-Range is a distinct new offering designed to bring a high-quality Vital Farms egg to more households at a more accessible price point.
