I've bought eggs from this brand before and unfortunately the egg yolks aren't vibrant orange like real organic free range eggs are supposed to be. Not, sure how they can claim so as their yolks are pale yellow like regular mass production eggs. These eggs are expensive and definitely not worth the price. Never buying this brand again! read more

These eggs are AMAZING because of what they are NOT feeding the chickens. Most feed has corn and soy which reduces the good Omega's in the eggs. It also makes an excellent source of protein less healthy because it creates estrogen dominance. the Chino's eggs do not have soy or corn this is very good, it means you are getting higher quality nutrition. Anyone complaining about the egg yolk color needs to research a little more. The other egg companies feed their chickens marigold flowers to influence the yolk color. So pay attention to what is and is not in the feed. Don't be fooled by the other reviews commenting on the eggs when they are missing a significant part of the story. Be FULLY informed.

Their eggs are so delicious and fresh! What makes them special is they are honest saying "pastured"!

Eggs are pale, these are not pasture raised eggs . Not buying again and I bought these at Whole Foods

Chickens are not free-roaming. Eggs are pale and tasteless. I was not able to get my usual local pastured eggs for a while, so I had to suck it up and buy organic eggs from the store. I wanted to make sure they didn't have soy, so I bought chino valley ranchers organic soy free eggs. They claim the chickens are out in the open, but I highly doubted it as soon as I saw the yolks. The yolks are very pale and tasteless. I looked up the company on cornucopia.org and found out that they are lying about how the chickens live. I should have looked them up before buying the eggs! This is on cornucopia's website: Chino Valley's operation in Idalou, Texas is one of a handful of giant "factory farms" that were targeted by The Cornucopia Institute in its aerial photography surveillance. On a day with ideal weather for organic livestock to be outdoors, not one chicken was visible. This resulted in Cornucopia filing a formal legal complaint against the company and, subsequently, its certifier (CCOF). https://www.cornucopia.org/scorecard/eggs/chino-valley-ranchers/ read more

I've been buying Chino Valley Ranch organic eggs at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods for quite some time. I wanted to buy eggs that were humanely produced, and good for me. I thought I was doing the hens and myself good by selecting these eggs. Doh! Was I wrong. I recently read a piece in Mother Jones about the Cornucopia Institute's organic egg study and my eyes were opened. The current 'organic' standards require outdoor access for all birds producing eggs labeled as "organic." Of course, as consumers, we just make the assumption this is happening. But sadly, it isn't. For some egg producers, like Chino Valley Ranchers, that "outdoor" access can be as small as a tiny concrete porch on the side of a hen warehouse housing 36,000 birds INDOORS. The Cornucopia Institute conducted site visits, when allowed, and rated each "organic" egg producer for their humane standards. Chino Valley rated only a 1 out of 5! The report states of Chino Valley Ranchers "The company has been active in opposing strict requirements for outdoor access for organic laying hens" and, in addition, provided zero transparency as to the living conditions of the hens. I was really surprised considering these eggs are at Whole Foods. In addition, really healthy eggs are said to have an orange yolk, not yellow (when raw). Chino Valley eggs are definitely yellow. So, what's the solution? They may cost a buck or two more, but I'm going to now buy Vital Farms eggs exclusively from now on. Vital Farms has earned a 5 out of 5 score on the same report and that's the only other choice being given at Whole Foods and Co-Opportunity nearby in Santa Monica. I'll just skip getting eggs at Trader Joe's altogether and absolutely skip the Chino Valley eggs now that I know how they conduct business -- which has been described by Mother Jones as the same as any other mass produced eggs. I wholly recommend you do the same if you want to help raise humane standards for the animals enslaved to feed us. read more

I was just making my shopping list for Sprouts and was going to add Chino Valley Ranchers omega-3 cage free eggs, even tho they are the most expensive. Then I googled them and found this: https://www.cornucopia.org/scorecard/eggs/chino-valley-ranchers which says something about a chicken ranch in Texas. I thought they were in Chino, silly me. Save your money read more

You can taste the difference with Chino valley ranchers eggs! I love to bake and having a consistently good egg is important. Consistency in size and richness makes for a better end product. I have a picky toddler who's protein is most consumed by chino valley ranchers eggs. She doesn't know the difference in organic or name brands but I sure feel better knowing that she is eating the very best! read more

I have been buying the pasture raised eggs. They taste really good and I feel good after I eat them. Looks like they get 100 feet of pasture as compared to caged eggs that get 12 inches. Wow. I still would like to visit the farm. read more

Chino Valley Ranchers - two eggs in a bowl - Health Markets Near Me - Colton, California

FIRST off I am a HUGE animal lover and believe that animals should be treated humanely especially in todays world with all of the knowledge we have regarding their well-being. I have recently had the pleasure to tour both the Packing Plant and the Farm where the Chickens live and produce the eggs. BOTH Facilities were CLEAN and VERY well taken care of. The Chickens seemed "happy" when I entered to see them. They all were curious, had plenty of space to spread their wings and did have the choice to go outside and peck in the dirt. (Which is not what a recent Yelper wrote but I don't think they visited the Farm?) The chickens looked & felt VERY healthy and followed me around pecking at my booties - we had to wear coverings from head to toe so not to bringing any outside "kooties" the birds have a VERY clean environment. :) I too read the article that Cornucopia wrote and am ashamed with what they reported after visiting the Farm. I'm not sure what they were looking at but I saw the Farm from front to back, let's get our facts straight, I have pictures to prove my words if you so so choose to see them, this is not gossip...These birds DO have open areas to roam, fresh food and water and were not even close to being over crowded inside. As fast as green pastures, keep in mind we live in CA which is mostly desert and not rolling fields of grass like back east or up north. The ground was dirt but is that a surprise & we are in a drought to boot. The chickens have water filtration systems spraying them to keep them cool, it was nicer in the building than it was outside in the heat and scorching sun...but guess what, there's even covered areas for the birds so if they do want to go outside and not be in the sun they can. The outside areas are roughly 4,000 sq ft+ between each building making LOTS of outside space to peck and roam if they so choose. We buy our eggs at both Trader Joe's and Whole Foods and will continue to happily do so and feel better knowing how they are raised, fed and taken care of.It's important to get our facts straight about where we buy our foods theses days. Hopefully one day all of our dairy, eggs and meats will be humanely raised and fed whole foods not stuffed with hormones and antibiotics, etc... which is polluting our earth and our bodies. The People who run the company could not be kinder of more caring to their mission of being an organic humane chicken farm. We're thankful we had the opportunity to visit and meet these wonderful people and their "Girls" read more

Do these people actually have any clue about what "organic" means? Stop feeding your birds corn, get them out into the pastures so you won't need to vaccinate them, and stop regulating their diets!! Hens are creatures who naturally wander about eating bugs and seeds wherever they find them. So provide a natural environment to roam around on!! This is a factory farm in sheep's clothing! read more

Thought I'd try their eggs - a break from my usual brand (they were a little less expensive). Yikes - that was a mistake! The look and taste just like conventional eggs: slight greenish film between yolk and white, pale yellow yolks, chalky texture. Not those gorgeous bright yellow, flavorful, clean yolks that I love. So I decided to do a little poking around on the web. Turns out they're pretty dang industrial after all. Blekch!! Not the eggs I want to feed to my toddler. read more

They have moved again. Try this link for more information. http://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/index.php Originally, the were Nichols Egg Ranch in Arcadia, CA on Double Dr which is now called Santa Anita. they moved to Peck Rd and then moved in 2015 again, I believe on Durfee in El Monte however, the ranch is in Chino, CA. These eggs are fresh, local and about as good as any upper end egg brand. read more

I used to automatically buy the eggs on sale... NOT ANYMORE!!! The taste difference is unbelievable. The color of the yolk is so rich in color, these eggs just look healthier & taste so much better! Thank you for caring about the health of the animals as well as the consumers! read more

I have been in search for a good organic egg for a while. I would switch brands a lot on which was cheapest in price. But I kept going back to chino valley ranchers eggs. They taste fresher, the color is just right and the price is right too. I also did my research to know that the chickens were raised humanely. I was very intrigued by this family business and how they take such great care of there chickens. I'm always satisfied! I will happily continue to give my business to them! read more

Great selection of organic eggs from veg-a-fed, to pasture raised, humane harvest, omega 3, etc. Well respected and sought after eggs.

Sadly, Not all "cage free" farms are alike, as the term is not legally binding or enforced. Do the animals a favor and do your research first--Chino Valley birds are not roaming free and their version of cage free is hardly humane. If you're shopping them at Costco, I think the Kirkland brand is much better in animal treatment and only a buck more. read more

Nicest people and great organic, cage-free eggs to boot!

I have never felt the urge to Yelp about somebody's eggs...until now! We love the taste and freshness of their eggs. We really noticed when we had to buy different eggs, cracked the first egg and it crumbled, leaving a mess of eggshell to pick out of the bowl. This business is top notch! read more
