What is pasture-raised?

Home » FAQs » What is pasture-raised?

Pasture-raised eggs are laid by hens that can spend their days outdoors roaming the pastures as they please. Our hens enjoy at least 108 square feet of pasture each, with plenty of fresh air and sunshine year-round. This outdoor access gives the girls a lifestyle they deserve, with freedom to forage through rotated pastures, feasting on a natural buffet of grasses, bugs, and grub alongside their essential feed. The girls roost together in the barn overnight, where they feel safe from predators. In certain situations, when the girls’ health and safety are at risk, we may need to keep them temporarily indoors. We make these decisions based on state and local guidance, as well as guidance from our veterinary partners and Certified Humane®, which audits our pasture-raised animal welfare practices. These situations are only in the event of a significant risk to the girls, such as a weather or health emergency.
