If youâre seeking the best choice in terms of hen welfare and environmental sustainability, look for eggs that are pasture-raised or free-range, humane, and organic. These eggs will cost you more, but theyâre better for the farmers, the animals, and the planet. At the store, we reach for Handsome Brook Farms, Vital Farms, Carolâs, and Pete and Gerryâs.

The eggs are likely to be fresher, too. For more details on egg carton labels, check out the list below, organized by what the terms broadly refer to:
