FREE-RANGE MEANS ROOM TO ROAM

It’s simple, really: the Nellie’s Free Range way means that Nellie and her flock of friends are free to roam, forage, and explore wide open pastures each day. Unlike most egg-laying hens, Nellie has access to the outdoors—and all the fresh air, sunshine, and yummy snacks that it comes with. With room to spread her wings, dust bathe, and snack on pasture critters, Nellie lives a peaceful, carefree life. As for her eggs? You can see and taste the Nellie's Free Range difference in the sturdy shells, substantial whites, and gorgeous golden yolks.

Life With Nellie and Her Hen Friends

This is Nellie. She has a pretty eggcellent life—it’s okay if you’re a little envious. We’ll teach you how to live like Nellie and her flock of hen friends.

Nellie and her flock live on a Certified Humane Free-Range farm, which comes with some big perks. One of Nellie’s favorites? Delicious and nutritious snacks!

Nellie and friends live the life we all wish we had, spending their time soaking up sunshine, enjoying fresh air, and clucking away all day without a worry in the world.

When she’s not gabbing with her gals over the latest worm sighting, you might find Nellie taking a dust bath. This instinctual hen behavior helps keep her feathers clean and tidy. Don’t we all wish we had more time for self-care?

When she wants to catch some zzzs or lay an egg, Nellie and her flock have a clean spacious coop to call home. It might even put your home to shame…just look at all that room!

Speaking of eggs, Nellie and her friends lay some pretty delicious ones. The Nellie's Free Range lifestyle means more flavor and better quality.

You can feel good knowing that every carton of Nellie’s Free Range Eggs comes from happy hens. So be like Nellie: accept only the best of the best.

Meet Nellie’s Gal Pal

Nessie, the Merry Moo Cow

Just like Nellie, Nessie lives a happy life, spending her days grazing on green grass in wide open pastures while soaking up the sunshine and fresh air.

Meet Nellie’s farmer friends

Nellie’s farmer friends are eggsperts in caring for free-range hens. They lead with kindness and compassion, always putting Nellie and her gals’ well-being first.

Farmer Michael

“Farming to a higher standard of animal welfare is better for the bird and the farmer. It allows small farms to thrive. My favorite thing to do is watch the hens foraging outside. It never gets old watching the birds rush onto the range every morning.”

Farmer Kristie

"I just love these hens. The birds are so happy to be outside and I am able to be an important part of their lives. Being home with family and taking care of these hens is a blessing.”

Farmer D.J.

“Animals should be treated with care. They become part of your family when you’re around them every day. You take care of them and they will take care of you.”

Farmer Evan

“The biggest thing that I enjoy about being an egg farmer is the time it allows me to spend with my family on the farm. To me this is priceless.”

Farmer Ernest

“I think that animals should be respected because they have to depend on us to care and nurture them.”

Farmer Ron

“Farming with my family is the best thing I have ever done. I take pride in providing humanely sourced table eggs. I hold the chickens in high regard for their labors in providing us with eggs and I make certain they have all they need and get outside to chase bugs and eat grasses often. I am always amazed how much the chickens enjoy the outdoors: they leave the barn like kids at recess.”
