AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today Vital Farms (Nasdaq: VITL), a Certified B Corporation that offers a range of ethically produced foods nationwide, announced HomeState as its newest foodservice partner. HomeState, a Texas Kitchen based in Southern California that aims to bring high-quality food and hospitality to Los Angeles, is pleased to use Vital Farms pasture-raised eggs in the many egg offerings on its Texas-inspired menu.
"We are honored to bring Vital Farms pasture-raised eggs to HomeState’s menu,” said Erin Feemster, Associate Brand Manager, Foodservice at Vital Farms. “In addition to sharing our Texas roots, HomeState is a like-minded, mission-driven partner that values high-quality, ethically sourced ingredients and has a demonstrated passion for people, food, and community.”
“My dream for HomeState has always been to share an untold story of Texas, to increase access to quality food, and play a positive role in the world of hospitality and agriculture,” said Briana Valdez, HomeState Founder & CEO. “Vital Farms truly cares about their impact on animal welfare, communities, and the environment and that is the reason we wanted to feature their eggs on our menu. How a hen is raised makes a difference. I am proud to serve our guests ethically produced eggs that ultimately make better breakfast tacos.”
Vital Farms pasture-raised eggs are scrambled in HomeState's sought-after breakfast tacos, most of which are named after Texas rivers, including Trinity (eggs, Beeler’s bacon, potatoes, cheddar), Guadalupe (eggs, chorizo, cheddar), and Comal (eggs, black beans, Monterey jack) and in Migas, an iconic Texas breakfast staple combining eggs and crispy tortilla chips with other desired ingredients such as humanely raised brisket and avocado.
