Vital Farms
Vital Farms is an Austin, Texas based company that specializes in the promotion of Pasture-raised poultry and the sales and distribution of pasture-raised eggs. The company is widely considered a leader in the pasture-raised egg industry.
Vital Farms was founded in 2007 by its CEO, Matthew O’Hayer, as a single-site operation on a 27-acre farm plot in Southwest Austin. Since then, the company has increased its network to 55 family-owned farms in six states- all geographically located in what the company calls the “pasture belt” . The company reported 2012 annual sales of $9.8 million, and is the largest supplier of pasture-raised eggs to Whole Foods Market.
Vital Farms uses a sustainable agriculture technique that affords each egg laying hen a total of 108 square feet of foraging space, making Vital Farms the only nationally distributed pasture raised egg recognized by Certified Humane. The pastured poultry technique was pioneered by Joel Salatin as a means to allow each hen an existence that better simulates its natural environment and thus provides a more healthy, nutrient rich egg.
The company has been awarded an exemplary score by the Cornucopia institute a non-profit organization "Seeking economic justice for the family-scale farming community." Vital farms was ranked number one fastest growing food and/or beverage company in the US in 2012 and #2 in 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=Inc.com )〕
