\u201cThe heart of this event is about bringing joy to children and families, and in these difficult times for egg farmers, it\u2019s important to celebrate wherever we can. Eggs are at the center of cherished Easter and Passover traditions and memories, and this year is no different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s important to know that continuing the celebration of the White House Easter Egg Roll will not create additional strain on the nation\u2019s egg supply or egg prices. The White House Easter Egg Roll uses about 2,500 dozen eggs donated by America\u2019s egg farmers on the South Lawn of the White House for hunting, decorating and the iconic egg roll, itself. The eggs required for our national tradition represent a very small percentage of the nearly nine million dozen eggs sold at grocers and other retailers across the country each day. Additionally, the eggs used for the White House Easter Egg Roll will be in sizes small and medium, which are not meant for the retail and grocery channels.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The AEB supports America\u2019s egg farmers nationwide through research, education and promotion programs for U.S. eggs. The AEB is located in Chicago, Ill. For more information, visit IncredibleEgg.org.
