Get ready for an eggstraordinary event at your local Whole Foods Market® this Saturday, March 23rd – it’s Eggstravaganza! From 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. we’ll celebrate the versatility and deliciousness of eggs with samples and recipes of our favorite egg dishes, as well as a variety of fun events. Check out your local store’s calendar for more details.
Up for some yolking around? At 2 p.m. EST, our stores will host a Nationwide Chicken Dance! Our team members will take a crack at doing the chicken dance in all of our stores across the country. We’re aiming to break the Record Setter record for most people doing the chicken dance in a grocery store across the United States simultaneously. Join the fun and get those wings flapping!
Wondering why we’re so eggstremely passionate about eggs? Beyond the plate, we love where our eggs come from. We’ve partnered with egg suppliers large and small and can proudly say that all of the eggs sold in our dairy case and those used in our kitchens and bakeries are cage free – meaning the hens aren’t raised in cramped cages. Curious what those other labels on your carton mean? Check out this handy chart.
