Vital Farms, Inc. is a company that specializes in ethically and sustainably produced pasture-raised eggs and dairy products. The company was founded in 2007 by Matthew O'Hayer in Austin, Texas. O'Hayer was inspired by his childhood experiences on a farm and his belief in providing animals with humane treatment and access to open pastures.
Vital Farms is known for its commitment to providing high-quality, ethically sourced food products. They partner with a network of small family farms across the United States, known as "Vital Farms Pasture Partners," to raise their hens and cows. These farms follow strict animal welfare standards and provide the animals with access to pasture, allowing them to roam and forage freely.
The primary products offered by Vital Farms are pasture-raised eggs and pasture-raised butter. Their eggs are sourced from hens that are given plenty of space and natural light, and are fed a diet free of antibiotics and hormones. The company also offers pasture-raised ghee and pasture-raised hard-boiled eggs.
Vital Farms has experienced significant growth in recent years, reflecting the increasing consumer demand for ethically and sustainably sourced food products. The company's commitment to transparency and its unique business model of partnering with small family farms have resonated with consumers who are seeking products that align with their values.
Vital Farms continues to expand its product offerings and distribution channels, aiming to make ethically and sustainably produced food more accessible to consumers across the United States. They remain dedicated to their mission of "bringing ethically produced food to the table" and promoting the well-being of animals, farmers, and consumers alike.
