Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Vital Farms, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "***Company***"), in connection with the filing by the Company of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "***Registration Statement***") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "***Commission***") covering the offering of up to 2,239,856 shares (the "***Shares***") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("***Common Stock***"), consisting of (a) 1,791,885 shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Company's 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the "***2020 EIP***") and (b) 447,971 shares of Common Stock, issuable pursuant to the Company's 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (together with the 2020 EIP, the "***Plans***").

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the Registration Statement and the related prospectuses, the Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each as currently in effect, the Plans and such other records, documents, opinions, certificates, memoranda and instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by all persons other than the Company. As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon a certificate of an officer of the Company and have not independently verified such matters.

Our opinion is expressed only with respect to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. We express no opinion to the extent that any other laws are applicable to the subject matter hereof and express no opinion and provide no assurance as to compliance with any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation.

On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when sold and issued in accordance with the Plans, the Registration Statement and the related prospectuses, will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable (except as to Shares issued pursuant to deferred payment arrangements, which will be fully paid and nonassessable when such deferred payments are made in full).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <sup>1</sup> (1) Pursuant to Rule 416(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of common stock of Vital Farms, Inc. (the "Registrant") that become issuable under the Vital Farms, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan") by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or any other similar transaction effected without receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of outstanding shares of the Registrant's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"). The "Amount Registered" represents 1,791,885 additional shares of Common Stock reserved for future grant under the 2020 Plan as a result of the automatic increase in shares reserved thereunder on January 1, 2026 pursuant to the terms of the 2020 Plan. The 2020 Plan provides that an additional number of shares will automatically be added annually to the shares authorized for issuance under the 2020 Plan on January 1 of each year from January 1, 2021 through January 1, 2030, in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) 4% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year and (b) a number of shares of Common Stock designated by action of the Registrant's board of directors prior to the date of the increase. The "Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Unit" and "Maximum Aggregate Offering Price" are estimated pursuant to Rule 457(c) and Rule 457(h) solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee on the basis of $13.33 per share, which represents the average high and low sale prices of Common Stock as reported on The Nasdaq Global Market ("Nasdaq") on May 4, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <sup>2</sup> (2) Pursuant to Rule 416(a) of the Securities Act, this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of Common Stock that become issuable under the Vital Farms, Inc. 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or any other similar transaction effected without receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock. The "Amount Registered" represents 447,971 additional shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP as a result of the automatic increase in shares reserved thereunder on January 1, 2026 pursuant to the terms of the ESPP. The ESPP provides that an additional number of shares will automatically be added annually to the shares authorized for issuance under the ESPP on January 1 of each year from January 1, 2021 through January 1, 2030. The number of shares added each year will be equal to the lesser of: (a) 1% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the calendar month before the date of the automatic increase; (b) 900,000 shares of Common Stock and (c) a number of shares of Common Stock designated by action of the Registrant's board of directors prior to the date of the increase. The "Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Unit" and "Maximum Aggregate Offering Price" are estimated pursuant to Rule 457(c) and Rule 457(h) solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee on the basis of $11.34 per share, which represents the average high and low sale prices of Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq on May 4, 2026, multiplied by 85%, which is the percentage of the price per share applicable to purchases under the ESPP.
