USDA Certified Organic
USDA Certified Organic means food raised the way nature intended. Our family farms are certified organic and third-party audited every year by organic certifiers.
No Antibiotics
Laid by hens raised on organic, non-GMO feed. No antibiotics, no synthetic hormones, and no toxic pesticides are used on our farms.
Free to Forage
Free to Forage means our hens get to be hens: scratching, dustbathing, and soaking up fresh air and sunshine.
What does farmer-owned mean?
Organic Valley is a cooperative founded in 1988 and owned by its farmers. The families who produce the food own the business and set its policies and standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these eggs safe to cook every morning without an open flame?
The carton does not contain a flame, smoke, or heat source. You can prepare the eggs in a pan, oven, microwave, or other kitchen appliance while keeping the cooking process flameless and your air free of candle smoke.
Does the USDA Certified Organic standard reduce my family's exposure to pesticides?
Yes. These eggs are USDA Certified Organic, and the hens are raised without toxic pesticides, antibiotics, or synthetic hormones. They also receive organic, non-GMO feed under the Organic Valley production standard.
Does the 18-count carton help me keep a reliable supply of fresh eggs on hand?
Yes. With 18 large eggs in each carton, you can cover frequent breakfasts, meal prep, and baking while reducing the number of grocery trips needed for staples.
Are the eggs easy to cook without creating smoke in the kitchen?
The eggs themselves do not create smoke when cooked properly. Use a nonstick pan, moderate heat, and a lid when scrambling or cooking omelets to minimize splattering; an appliance can also provide a smokeless alternative to open-flame candle use.
What makes these eggs a safer choice for everyday family meals?
They come from hens raised without antibiotics, synthetic hormones, or toxic pesticides, with access to fresh air, sunshine, pasture, and space to forage. Every large Grade A egg also provides 6 grams of protein.
Are these eggs a good option for households replacing open-flame candles?
They are a food staple rather than a lighting product, but unlike an open-flame candle, the carton has no flame, soot, wax drips, or combustion. It supports meal preparation without adding candle smoke or fire risk to the kitchen.
Is this carton suitable for people seeking organic eggs from humane farming practices?
Yes. Organic Valley sources these eggs from independent small family farms within a farmer-owned cooperative, and the free-range hens have access to pasture, fresh air, sunshine, and room to forage.
How do organic free-range eggs compare with conventionally raised eggs?
These eggs are USDA Certified Organic and come from hens fed organic, non-GMO feed without antibiotics, synthetic hormones, or toxic pesticides. Conventional eggs may come from hens raised under different standards, so the specific farming and certification requirements are the key distinction.
How do these eggs compare with eggs from a local farmer's market?
Both may come from small or family farms, but these eggs carry USDA Certified Organic verification and are sourced through a farmer-owned cooperative. A farmer's market selection may offer different farming methods or certifications depending on the seller.
Are you concerned that organic eggs might be harder to find or cost more at the store?
Availability and pricing can vary by retailer, but the 18-count carton offers a practical weekly supply. Its value includes certified organic production, humane free-range conditions, and 6 grams of protein per large egg.
Will cooking with these eggs leave the kitchen smoky or cause greasy residue?
Proper cooking technique has more influence than the carton. Cook at moderate heat, use a nonstick pan, and cover eggs when scrambling or making omelets to reduce splatter and keep the kitchen cleaner.
Is the 18-count package enough for a week of regular breakfasts?
It depends on your household size and serving habits. One egg per person per day would use 18 eggs over 18 days, making the carton useful for families, batch cooking, and recipes that call for several eggs.
How should I store and cook these organic eggs?
Keep the carton refrigerated in the original packaging until use. Cook eggs until the whites and yolks are firm, and prepare them according to your recipe and appliance instructions.
How can I tell whether these eggs are still fresh?
Check the sell-by date and inspect each egg for cracks. When placed in water, a fresh egg generally sinks and lies flat, while an older egg may stand upright or float; floating eggs should be discarded.
Are these eggs compatible with vegetarian, keto, paleo, and gluten-free meal plans?
Yes. Eggs naturally fit vegetarian, keto, paleo, and gluten-free eating patterns when used with suitable ingredients, although preparation and added sauces can change the overall nutritional profile.
Can I use these eggs in a stand mixer, blender, or standard baking recipe?
Yes. They can be beaten with a stand mixer or whisked in a blender for omelets and custards, and they can be used in standard cakes, muffins, quiches, cookies, and other baking recipes.
What is included in the Organic Valley carton?
The package contains 18 large brown Grade A eggs. No additional accessories are included, so you may need cooking equipment such as a nonstick pan, a mixing bowl, or a baking sheet.
Are these eggs safe if I accidentally crack one into the carton?
Remove the broken egg, discard any contaminated shell pieces and nearby eggs, and clean the carton. Wash your hands and surfaces with soap and water, and refrigerate or cook the remaining intact eggs promptly.
How should I dispose of the egg carton after use?
Check local recycling rules for paper egg cartons. Many accepted cartons can be recycled, but local guidelines may differ, particularly for coated or heavily soiled packaging.
What is the difference between brown eggs and white eggs?
Shell color is mainly determined by the hen's breed and does not significantly indicate nutritional value or quality. These eggs differ from many standard options by their USDA Certified Organic status, free-range sourcing, and family-farm cooperative.
