Some would consider ‘pasture-raised’ to be the gold standard for chicken eggs. Trader Joe's Organic Pasture Raised Large Brown Eggs come from certified organic, family-owned farms, where the chickens live outside most of the time, free to forage for bugs, seeds, or whatever they are inclined to eat. Even ‘free-range’ fowl don’t get this kind of freedom! The chickens are provided at least 108 sq. ft. of pasture per bird, which is far, far beyond what the USDA requires for ‘free range’ chickens.

And this approach is not only beneficial for the birds, but it’s also excellent for the eggs. They are large and brown, with rich, golden yolks, and outstanding flavor.
