brown and white eggs

What's the difference between brown and white eggs?

WHITE
This popular egg type is typically laid by a beautiful all-white chicken breed called the White Leghorn. High in nutritional value, our popular white egg brands include Becky, California Finest, Santa Rosa, Nulaid, and Cal Egg. We also pack and distribute many store brand labels sold in Northern California.
COMFORT COOP
Our hens that produce Comfort Coop eggs live in our new American Humane® Certified Enriched Colony Barn. This new home allows them the opportunity to experience natural behaviors like nesting in a private area, flapping their wings, stretching, scratching and perching all in a very safe, clean, comfortable environment. The American Humane® Certified program is a science-based farm animal welfare program that is built around the most comprehensive set of standards and audits ever created.

BROWN
Brown eggs are laid by red-brown feathered breeds like the Rhode Island Red, New Hampshire, and Plymouth Rock. Slightly larger than white-feathered hens, these breeds often require more feed and are priced slightly higher as a result. Brown eggs are just as delicious and nutritious as white eggs. We offer both large and extra large brown eggs in our Barnstar brand.
CERTIFIED ORGANIC
Our free roaming hens are raised on 100% certified organic vegetarian feed from the day they are born. The feed is grown on land free of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides for at least 3 years. An independent company certifies that all California State Organic and U.S. Department of Agriculture requirements are met. Our Barnstar and Horizon Organic brand eggs are some of the best on the market.  We also offer organic eggs enhanced with Omega 3 fatty acids for extra nutritional value.










NUTRITIONALLY-SUPERIOR
In general, Omega 3 has been recognized for several health benefits, including its ability to help promote heart health, prevent coronary heart disease, reduce birth defects, and prevent degenerative diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's.  Our Barnstar Omega 3 eggs have 350mg of Omega 3 fatty acids per egg!  In addition, our Barnstar Omega 3 eggs are enriched with Lutein, which studies have shown helps preserve eye health and reduces the effects of several common ailments. These delicious and healthy Barnstar eggs are the perfect solution for people who want to add additional health benefits and a little extra nutrition to their diets.

Each year from 2002-2008, American Culinary Chefs Best™ has recognized Eggland’s Best as the winner of the award for "America's Best Tasting Egg." Eggland's Best Large, Cage Free and Organic Eggs also received a 2009 Gold Medal for superior taste, appearance and freshness in a triple blind judging by the professional chefs of The American Masters of Taste. Our Egg-Land’s Best hens are fed a patented all-natural, vegetarian diet that contains healthy grains, canola oil, and a supplement of rice bran, alfalfa, sea kelp and Vitamin E. Not only do Egg-Land’s Best eggs taste great, they are higher in Vitamin E, Omega 3 and Lutein and lower in cholesterol and saturated fat than a regular egg. We also offer a Cage Free variety.

CAGE FREE
Cage Free eggs are laid by hens kept in spacious pens where they can roam, scratch, perch and nest as they please. Our Cage Free eggs are produced from hens fed only all natural grain. Our Cage Free brands include Barnstar and Egg-Land's Best.
FREE ROAMING FERTILE
Our hens are fed a healthy vegetarian diet and live in a free roaming cage-free environment where they are free to roam, scratch, perch and nest as they please. Because Hens and Roosters are housed together, these eggs may contain a small amount of male hormone but do not possess any known nutritional advantages over non-fertile eggs. We offer Free Roaming Fertile eggs as part of our Barnstar brand.
