VITL - Vital Farms Restorative Eggs Named Mindful Awards' 2023 Egg Product of the Year for Positively Impacting People and the Planet
AUSTIN, Texas, June 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vital Farms (Nasdaq: VITL) Restorative Eggs have been shell-ebrated as Mindful Awards’ 2023 “Egg Product of the Year” for doing what’s right for people and the planet. Restorative Eggs are produced on four farms that implemented a suite of regenerative farming principles to promote rich, nutrient-dense soil. These farms have applied regenerative practices to hundreds of acres of farmland and produced over one million high-quality eggs for mindful eaters across the country. This latest recognition of Vital Farms’ ongoing work to bring more ethical food to the table is just one of over a half dozen awards the company has garnered this year.
“Regenerative farming is a growing and evolving practice that Vital Farms is scaling with the farms and farmers they work with. They aim to create a harmonious ecosystem between land and animals that’s good for the hens and will leave the land better than they found it,” said Travis Grant, Managing Director, Mindful Awards. “As pioneers of pasture-raised farming, they already follow incredibly high standards, and regenerative farming takes those standards to a new level. Vital Farms is leading the industry forward by implementing emerging and scalable practices that support farmers, animals, and the environment.”
