You might think so, it is not always the case. Organic means many things to many people. Organic eggs can in fact come from a battery farm where the hens are kept in small cages. It is the feed they are given that often determines whether they can be labelled "Organic" or not. Birds fed a strict diet of non medicated foods, from crops that are pesticide free can be called "Organic" Organic Free Range does not even mean the birds are free to wander…often "Free Range" means they are kept in a big barn and can walk around instead of in a small cage. If you want true organic free range eggs you should buy from a farmer you know and know how his birds are kept.

Explain the difference between organic eggs free range and free run eggs vs supermarket eggs?
Confusing isn't it. Lets get this cleared up for you.Certified Organic eggs are eggs from hens who are fed a diet of organic foods. Grains that have not been grown with chemicals and the hens are not treated with medications. "Organic eggs" does not always mean the hens are free range or even free run. Organic eggs can come from chickens kept in cages all their life. They are just not fed with foods that have insecticide or chemical fertilizers applied while growing.Free range eggs. These eggs are collected from hens who have the run of the yard and can forage outside in fields and bushes. Free range means exactly that, the hens are free to go where they wish, free range hens sleep in a chicken coop at night safe from predators but are allowed out during the day to supplement their food with whatever they can find. Not all free range eggs are "organic" The free range hens can be fed with medicated grains, treated with health preventative medicines and can also eat greenery treated with chemical fertilizers, which makes them NON organic.Free run eggs. Sounds a bit like free range but there is a big difference. Free run eggs are from chickens who are not kept in cages but who are kept in large barns. These hens are allowed to roam around the interior of the barn but do not have access to fresh air, fresh food and greenery.
