If you live in the greater New Orleans area and search for pasture-raised eggs, pasture-raised chicken, or farm fresh eggs near me, you’ve probably noticed a lot of confusing terms online. One of the most common misunderstandings we hear at the Covington Farmers Market is:
“Are your eggs pasteurized?”
Because the words sound so similar, many people aren’t sure what the difference is between pasture-raised eggs and pasteurized eggs. And that confusion often keeps people from finding the nutrient-dense, flavorful food their families are truly looking for.
If you’re searching for healthy eggs in New Orleans or wanting pasture-raised poultry delivered to your home, this guide will help you understand what really matters.
Pasture-raised describes how the animals are raised: outdoors on grass, moved across fresh pasture, eating bugs, seeds, and non-GMO feed. Healthy animals = healthy food.
Pasteurized describes an industrial heating process used to sterilize food by destroying all bacteria, good and bad.
So when you see “pasture-raised eggs,” it has nothing to do with pasteurization. It has everything to do with quality, nutrition, freshness, and humane farming.
If you’re looking for real eggs from real pasture, our Credo Farms Pasture-Raised Eggs are gathered fresh here in Louisiana and delivered each week across the New Orleans region.
Many of our customers follow or appreciate the work of Dr. Weston A. Price, who documented the nutrient-dense foods traditional cultures ate — raw milk, pastured meats, organ meats, broths, and fresh eggs.
From that perspective, pasteurization wasn’t created to make good food better. It was created to compensate for poor-quality, industrial dairy practices.
Pasteurization:
It is a band-aid for unhealthy food systems — not a replacement for clean, pasture-based farming.
This is why so many families in New Orleans, Covington, Mandeville, Metairie, and Kenner are seeking out real, local, pasture-raised food again. They want food that still has life in it.
