How to buy eggs in 2026 - Organic: means chickens must eat no GMOs, synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, animal by-products, hormones or antibiotics. Don’t necessarily have to be pasture-raised. - Outdoor Access: chickens can roam indoors and have access to an outside area, but there are no rules about what that outside area looks like and how much time the chickens spend out there - Pasture-Raised: in theory that the chickens spend the majority of their lives outdoors and get additional nutrients from grass, insects and seeds. However, their is no oversight on time spent and 70-90% of their calories still come from supplemental feed. - Free-range: means really nothing besides they are not in a cage - Conventional: chickens kept indoors, usually in tightly packed cages, and fed a diet primarily consisting of non-organic grains, soybean meal and corn. The birds are stressed, and their eggs lack the nutrient profile - Regenerative: usually means chickens get moved to fresh pastures. This ensures they’re not foraging on depleted land, while allowing the previous pasture to recover. - Corn and soy-free is a great thing and means the chickens are not fed a corn and soy diet and avoids the omega-6 PUFAs like linoleic. Sometimes they can be enriched with high omega-3s using flaxseed, fish oil or microalgae. - Get Oasis app to check your egg score
