Vital Farms has received guidance from Understanding Ag to transition five contract farms to “restorative” practices.

Liz Harroun of Vital Farms stated, “Restorative is a natural evolution of our purpose to improve the lives of people, animals and the planet through food.”  The company has elected not to use the term “regenerative” since there are no reputable third-party certification options for eggs produced under “regenerative” systems.

Vital Farms is cooperating with Regen Ag Lab to measure water retention and biodiversity, including soil quality on the supply farms.

The carton used to pack “restorative” Vital Farm eggs includes natural grasses and is home-compostable.  Additional information on this marketing initiative is available on www.VitalFarms.com/restorative.
