Dutch Farms Expands Specialty Egg Line

Dutch Farms has introduced its largest specialty egg line expansion ever. According to the company, only one national brand has more specialty egg SKUs.

Dutch Farms now offers our retail partners 12 specialty egg items:

  • FREE-RANGE NON-GMO LARGE
  • PASTURE-RAISED ORGANIC LARGE
  • FREE-RANGE ORGANIC LARGE
  • VEGETARIAN FED CAGE-FREE LARGE
  • PASTURE-RAISED LARGE
  • ORGANIC LARGE
  • ORGANIC LARGE 18-PK
  • ORGANIC MEDIUM
  • ORGANIC MEDIUM 18-PK
  • CAGE-FREE LARGE PULP & PLASTIC
  • CAGE-FREE JUMBO

As consumers continue to ask for Organic, Cage-Free, Free-Range and Pasture-Raised eggs, Dutch Farms has formed and nurtured partnerships with local, small family farms that raise hens who are free to roam and nest, who allow outdoor access and some who allow hens to forage for wild plants and food. Dutch Farms offers specialty eggs from birds fed diets designed to increase the nutritional content of the eggs and/or from hens kept in alternative housing environments.

According to United Egg Producers, 30 percent of all egg production is from hens laying “specialty eggs.” Specialty egg production has doubled since 2016. According to the USDA, by 2026 a full 66 percent of all shell eggs sold will be specialty eggs—again more than doubling in under five years.
