Everything You Need To Know About Eggs - Cage Free, Free Range, Pasture Raised, and More

I am so excited to share this egg review video with you guys because there is so much mystery and incorrect information about eggs. Just because you buy organic eggs, doesn't mean anything! The truth is 90% of the organic eggs on the market are poor quality, from chicken that never go outside and eat gmo corn and soy. You need to know what the difference between eggs that cage free, free range, pasture raised, organic, non-gmo, and more. For my money, I ONLY BUY pasture raised eggs because they are outside from early morning till late evening eating bugs, worms, and soaking up the sun. The flavor and nutritional value is way better than cage free or free range. Vital farms pasture raised eggs are available nationwide, better yet is to buy locally sourced pasture eggs from a nearby farm! I hope you enjoyed this video and learned something, we want to start making more videos like this! Mad Love, Bobby...Dessi...Art...Paul XOXO

Use the cornucopia link above to see the best rated pasture eggs and where to buy them. You need to call around to stores in your area or contact those farms to ask where they sell them. Do yourself a favor and search "kirkland", "trader joes", "sprouts" and others and see how poorly they rate!

My favorite pasture raised eggs are Vital Farms. You need to buy the organic or non-gmo variety to avoid the chickens that are feed the supplemental feed of gmo corn & soy.

I encourage you to find local farms that sell pasture raised eggs in your area, just call around, you can often find them at farmers markets at co-op stores. In Illinois, mint creek farms sells some of the best pasture eggs and never use corn or soy feed!

Thanks for your support, Bobby! We appreciate you shining light on the egg industry.

One of the saddest realizations I had was when I learned that most of what is marketed as "healthy" food is not as it appears. The devil is in the details.

I just ate my first farm fresh egg this morning thanks to a co worker who has a farm and sold me some. I’ll be buying my eggs from her going forward.

Raise your own egg laying hens!! They are surprisingly self sufficient and the satisfaction of acquiring baby chicks, raising them to laying age and watching them thrive all while getting delicious healthy eggs to share with family is such a life improvement!

[donnaveirs]

I just happen to be buying Vital Farm eggs, before this video. Let me tell you, the color of the yolk and the hardness of the shell is what convinced me they are definitely good eggs. The taste brings me back to when I used to raise chickens myself. Very rich flavor, like an egg is suppose to taste.

This explains why studies keep going back and forth on if eggs are good for you or not. And they need to specify what types of eggs were tested

[lennym]

My chickens eat bugs, worms and even lizards.
Chickens usually aren't vegetarians

[joywilliams]

Best eggs I've ever had were the chickens I raised myself in my yard. Yep. The best.And that's becoming more and more an option.

Great information for people. The chicken is THE most abused farm animal. Let’s all educate ourselves on how chickens are kept and treated and get rid of those horrible 9in x 11in battery cages. My girls are very happy and give me delicious nutritional eggs in return 🙂. Happy chickens = happy eggs 🥚.

We had four chickens on an acreage and it worked pretty well getting eggs. They roamed the property all day and went in at night. It would be super if streets or communities worked together to manage a group of hens.

[DieHumanless]

Here in Wisconsin, a local brand, OrgaNick's Pastures, is the only certified humane farmer in the state for eggs. Nick, the owner, posts videos frequently of his hens foraging in the pasture, even in winter.

[elcywang]

Love how your videos not only educate on what to avoid, but also where to find the healthy options. What to avoid isn't helpful without solutions. Thank you!

[sassarific]

I'm so excited that I've bought Vital Farms before, even their organic eggs! Now I know to stick with that brand. They cost about $6 a dozen but I eat eggs everyday now so it's worth it to me. Thank you!

[jessicapae]

I love watching Bobbie because he is so excited about what he is doing, not to mention telling us what we need to know.

[KevinWood]

I greatly appreciate your content. I'm 41yrs old, always been in fitness person and eggs was always a bit a mystery to me.
Really love your channel.

[tnick]

I switched to Vital Farms eggs last year and can definitely tell the difference. They are expensive but I don't mind paying more for better quality.

[marwanak]

Thanks for the video. As someone who moved to California from the other side of the world, picking eggs started feeling like each egg has a resume trying to impress you with all these labels. It's funny, and a headache. You're a life saver 😂

[AlidaEli]

Man I've never watched so many videos by one person in such a short period of time. Nice educational videos on how our food is grown, a lot of eye opening info. I already had a nice base knowledge on beef and chicken but these videos take it even further.

[g.l.]

Thanks so much for sharing! I have been lucky enough to buy eggs from local farmers and let me tell you it makes a HUGE difference. Supporting these happy chickens and a local business is a must!

[HealingHeart_]

This is very useful information. Using the link you provided, I see that I've been buying the worst eggs for years. Heading to the supermarket tomorrow to buy Vital Farms pasture raised eggs. Thanks so much for making these videos.
