This facility processes up to 6 million eggs a day and is lauded for its energy efficiency and sustainability features, such as LED lighting, solar panels, and a best-in-class stormwater management system.
Vital Farms has also been active in community engagement and charitable efforts. They have recently collaborated with HomeState and Franklin Barbecue on a special breakfast taco initiative to raise funds for the Southern Smoke Foundation, a nonprofit supporting food and beverage industry workers.
