At Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs, our family has been farming for four generations. We are totally committed to bringing you the highest-quality, freshest organic eggs possible.

We are a values-led company, dedicated to humane treatment of animals and small family farms, who we believe are the best stewards of environmental sustainability.

All our free range, organic eggs come from small family farms like ours. These are real farms, not factories that simply use the farm label. All our farmers follow the strictest standards of humane animal treatment, safety, and environmental sustainability. We believe our free range hens deserve a safe, comfortable place to live a happy, healthy life – and that our family farmers deserve the right to keep their lands and livelihoods without having to resort to unhealthy factory-farm practices.

That’s not just good for our hens and our planet – it’s also good business. Rather than becoming yet another factory farm, we grow our healthy business by recruiting other small family farms to supply us with organic eggs. We increase our efficiency and productivity by using cutting-edge production techniques and smart automation to process and distribute our organic eggs, but never by cramming the animals that provide us food into inhumanely small spaces.

Our business approach provides more opportunities for smaller-scale farmers to stay in business, from the organic farmers who supply our grains, to the families who produce our eggs.

Best of all, it ensures you can trust us to provide you and your family with safe, wholesome, organic eggs at a reasonable price.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

The story of Pete and Gerry’s began in the late 1800’s at the Ward Family Farm in Monroe, New Hampshire, where Robert Ward grew up farming dairy cattle and hens.

After World War II, Robert’s son Les returned home from distinguished service as a Navy Dive Bomber pilot and decided to expand the egg farming business. He started with just a few hundred hens and kept growing; soon his brother-in-law Rodney Stanton joined him.

Les and Rodney kept our farm going through good times and bad – but others weren’t so lucky. Beginning in the 1980s, industrial-scale egg producers cornered the market and forced most small egg farms out of business.

Avoiding the factory-farm trap

When Les passed the farm on to his daughter Carol, son-in-law Gerry Laflamme and Rodney’s son Peter Stanton, they led our farm down a different path – one that led away from factory-style farming.

Instead of “going industrial,” we changed to cage-free (and eventually to Free Range), organic eggs produced without antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, GMOs or animal byproducts. Later, we became the first Certified Humane egg farm in the country.

A better way to grow

Today our business is healthy and growing, but we will never become a factory farm. We help other family farms thrive instead of swallowing them up.

Gerry and Carol’s son Jesse Laflamme now runs our free range organic egg farm and he’s raised the bar even higher with his commitment to small-scale farming, organic foods, humane treatment of animals and conservation. Jesse and his wife Sandra love having their children help out at the farm.

We’re proud of our family farms and hope you enjoy the fresh, wholesome free range, organic eggs we produce!

It’s holiday season! That means parties, and parties mean FOOD! This year I’m really trying to drop some baby weight while still enjoying myself, so I wanted to come up with an easy to make and healthy go-to recipe for party food that will still taste lovely. And I found it! I used this Avocado Deviled Eggs recipe from Ella Claire Inspired- it’s exactly what I was looking for, because with the green avocado-yolk filling and the red paprika sprinkled on top, it’s perfect for the holidays!

It’s so easy to make! Even though, you guys, I swear I’m the worst hard boiled egg peeler in the world! Please comment with all your tips and tricks. =)

So while mine aren’t nearly as pretty looking deviled eggs, I don’t even care- wanna know why? Because I used Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs so I know they are the very best.

The list literally goes on and on with all the top notch stuff they do {and don’t do}- like earning the organic seal, treating the chickens like actual living beings instead of pieces of a factory, and never putting in crap like hormones, GMO’s, or animal by-products. Definitely the kind of eggs I want in my body and what I want to feed my kiddos. Choosing to use organic eggs is really more important than you think. Antibiotics are used in chickens in “factory farms” because they live in such crappy {literally} quarters that diseases flourish. Yuck. Not how I want my eggs to be laid. So by having a good living environment for the chickens, antibiotics aren’t even needed! And what the hens eat, you’ll end up eating- so choosing to stay away from genetically modified foods and “slaughter house waste” sounds like a no-brainer to me. On top of all that, it’s better for the environment, which makes me happy because I will be leaving this world to my kiddos, and I only want the very best for them! So be sure to check out where you can purchase Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs and start cooking better!
