Our purpose is rooted in a commitment to Conscious Capitalism, which prioritizes the long-term benefits to each of our stakeholders, including farmers and suppliers, customers and consumers, communities and the environment, crew members and stockholders.

WORK/LIFE BENEFITS: 

We've seen what a difference a positive work environment means for our girls on grass, and we think people deserve the same. We’ve cultivated a flexible workplace that embraces a people-first culture while continuing to foster connection and build strong relationships throughout our flock.  

Our award-winning, newly expanded egg washing and packing facility, Egg Central Station (ECS), nests in Springfield, Missouri, less than a day’s drive from more than 300 family farms. ECS is powered by our incredible crew, who help to grade, wash and pack our eggs before they are shipped to grocery stores and foodservice operations across the country, ultimately landing on your table. The world-class facility’s thoughtful, green design – complete with natural light, air conditioning and state-of-the-art robotics – reflects our commitment to the long-term sustainability of our stakeholders. Our ECS crew members are inspired to reach their career goals through our online learning curriculum, coaching, and career advancement opportunities.

“My favorite things about working at Vital farms are the ability to grow along with the company and the people! When I first came to Vital Farms I had no idea what the manufacturing industry was like but I was eager to learn. I started out as a processing associate and worked my way up to shift supervisor. The wonderful people that work here encouraged me every step of the way and help me stay motivated to continue growing!”- Amanda, Egg Central Station Shift Supervisor 

Austin, TX is home to Vital Farms headquarters: The Roost. If you happen to be a local crewmember, the office is available for you to pop in and work at any time. However, the majority of our crew are fully remote and live all over the country! We’ve cultivated a flexible workplace that embraces a people-first culture while continuing to foster connection and build strong relationships throughout our flock.
