Eggs as good as they’re cracked up to be!
Our purchasing guides introduce you to new regenerative products, help you navigate food labels, and support you in making healthy food choices for you and your family.
We’ll lay it out here, not all eggs are good eggs. We are loving these egg brands that come from farms that regenerate soil, support biodiversity, and produce nutrient-dense food for human health.
Vital Farms
New Barn Organics
Alexandre Family Farms
Eggs have a protective layer over the shell called a “bloom.” Commercial eggs remove this barrier, which is why they need to be refrigerated. Fresh, unwashed eggs can stay on your kitchen counter for about two weeks, or up to three months in your refrigerator!
Natural Grocers
Helpful Hens
Chino Valley Ranchers
Handsome Brook Farms
Pasture-raised eggs have been shown to contain more vitamin A, E, and omega-3 fatty acids than commercial-raised eggs. All of these nutrients are found in the yolks so eat the entire egg –not just the whites!

Farmers Hen House
Organic Valley
