Whether they’re caged, cage-free, free-range, or pasture-raised, all of these terms refer to the way the hens were raised. And just like humans, hens’ lifestyles can significantly impact their health––which unsurprisingly affects the quality and taste of their eggs. That’s why we’re reaching for Pete & Gerry’s Pasture-Raised—a dozen of these will not disappoint.
We just can’t seem to get enough of this protein-packed staple. Our nutritional obsession with eggs is simple. But knowing which eggs to pick? Not so much.

Hen-raising standards.
To ensure you feel confident in what you’re buying, look out for the Certified Humane® Pasture-Raised certification, which ensures that all egg farms meet the highest standard of outdoor access for their flocks. Not only have Pete & Gerry’s Pasture-Raised eggs attained this certification, there’s proof that their hens are living their best lives in every egg:
Happier hen, better egg.
Planet-friendly farming.
Thick, sturdy shells are a sign of a varied, nutrient-rich hen diet, which is a good indicator that the hen who laid your egg spent plenty of time foraging on pasture. And let’s be honest, there’s a certain satisfaction you get from breaking through a tough shell. Once you crack, you’ll never go back.
Happier hen, better egg.
There’s no better way to start the day than by cracking open an egg and seeing a stunningly amber yolk. Darker, more vibrant yolks are a good indicator that the hen has been fed a healthy, varied diet—and that your breakfast is about to be that much tastier. After all, the bulk of an egg’s flavor comes from the yolk!
Golden, perky yolk
Egg whites should be thick and viscous—forget that watery nonsense! Pasture-raised egg whites tend to stay put instead of going rogue across the pan. A watery, loose egg white can be a sign of age, but it can also tell you a bit about the hen’s health.
Substantial egg white
Who doesn’t love a flavor-rich egg? Those creamy yolks and viscous whites don’t just look better; they taste better, too. Pasture-raised eggs have an undeniably fresh, rich taste and creamy texture that will take your meal to a whole new level of deliciousness.

We all know that eggs are a healthy, sustainable source of protein, but there’s even more to this superfood than meets the eye. Eggs are naturally rich in choline (essential for brain activity, memory, and cell function), vitamin D, and antioxidants like selenium. It’s no wonder The FDA specifically recommends eggs as an important food for pregnant and lactating people as well as a fundamental first food for babies.

Better Eggs
There’s a lot of terminology floating around the egg shelf these days, and it’s not always easy to crack the code. For instance, how do you know which eggs will yield that game-changing, rich, golden yolk? Or which ones are healthiest, not just for you, but also for the hens that laid them, and our shared planet?

What sets Pete & Gerry’s Pasture-Raised eggs apart are the expansive green pastures and spacious coops the hens enjoy. With a whopping 108+ square feet of outdoor space per hen, these ladies live the high life, with plenty of room to forage for grubs, soak up sunshine, socialize with their flock, and dust bathe for the well-being of their fluffy feathers. The coops are there for protection from predators and bad weather, as well as providing a safe, comfy spot for the girls to lay their daily egg. Let’s just say, they have the work-life balance down pat.

Behind every happy hen is a small family farm, which is why supporting local farmers is of the utmost importance. Still the egg industry today is dominated by industrial-sized caged facilities. These so-called “farms” consist of massive sheds containing stacked wire cages, each crammed full of hens that can’t spread their wings and will never see the light of day. Make no mistake: it’s an unpleasant sight—and certainly an unpleasant life.
