Handsome Brook Farms is a pioneer in pasture-raised organic egg production. Founded in upstate New York with just five hens, we have grown into the nation's leading producer of organic pasture-raised eggs. Dedicated to acting handsomely in all aspects, Handsome Brook Farms is committed to treating farmers, animals, and the land with the utmost respect. Our mission is to provide a clean, responsibly-raised source of protein that consumers can trust--from coop to carton. As a certified B Corp since March 2021, Handsome Brook Farms upholds the highest standards of social and environmental performance.

In 2022, we acquired The Farmer’s Hen, expanding our grower network and diversifying products to include Organic, Conventional Free Range, and Cage-Free eggs.
In 2023, HBF Foods was established because we aspired to be more than a shell-egg company. As stewards of resources at every level, we have created revolutionary Certified Upcycled egg-based dairy-free dips & yogurts.
In 2024, we started building our own Company Farms -- increasing our connection to the farms and land. Owning every aspect of the egg lifecycle allows us to ensure that each step of the process reflects our commitment to sustainability and animal welfare.
