Vital Farms eggs are a deep orange yellow, while the Aldi eggs are yellow with a touch of orange. It was instantly obvious which egg is superior judging by the color of the egg yolks. The moment of truth, cracking open the eggs The term “pasture raised” means that hens have at least 108 square feet of space and they spend most of the day outside scratching dirt and eating bugs. They may actually spend very little time outdoors. The term “free range” means that hens have access to the outdoors and have less than two square feet of space. The difference between free range and pasture raised eggs So I bought some to see for myself how they compare to the Vital Farms pasture raised eggs I normally buy. But the proof of that is in the egg yolk. That last phrase especially gave me hope that the hens might have a lifestyle almost as good as pasture raised hens. But they did have free range eggs that are “sustainably raised” and “raised on small family farms.” Recently I was doing a little shopping at Aldi and looked to see if they carry any pasture raised eggs.
