Alderfer Family Farm agreed to pay $287,500 to settle a class action lawsuit alleging the farm falsely marketed its eggs as coming from "free-roaming hens" when the birds were actually kept in cages. The lawsuit claimed this labeling deceived consumers who were willing to pay premium prices for humanely raised eggs. Consumers who purchased non-organic Alderfer eggs for personal or household use between December 1, 2020, and the final settlement approval date were eligible.
