Pasture-raised refers to hens that are given access to an outdoor space (of at least 108 square feet per bird) where they can feed on grass, insects, worms, or anything else they come across in the dirt. These hens are let out from the barn at dawn then brought back in at dusk. In theory, pasture-raised eggs offer the most ethical choice for consumers.
