Common Production Systems: Farmers Offer Choice

America’s egg farmers believe in consumer choice, and we work hard to provide you with the best quality, nutrition and variety of eggs. To help you make an informed choice, here is an overview of the most common egg production systems.

Most egg farms in the U.S. run more than one production system. Almost all have both conventional and specialty egg production systems operating simultaneously – all committed to providing humane and nurturing environments for their birds.

Depending on your preference, you can spend anywhere from about $1.50 per dozen for conventional eggs, to more than $3.00 per dozen for specialty eggs, which typically require higher production costs.
