Washington, D.C. (April 21, 2025)<\/strong> \u2013 America\u2019s egg farmers took center stage at the 2025 White House Easter Egg Roll, where their nearly 50-year legacy of supporting this beloved national tradition was celebrated like never before. Representing egg farmers nationwide, the American Egg Board (AEB) helped bring this year\u2019s celebration to life, continuing a longstanding partnership that highlights the essential role of eggs in Easter festivities and the hardworking farmers who produce them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to donating real eggs used throughout the event and presenting the First Lady\u2019s Commemorative Egg, America\u2019s egg farmers were recognized for their enduring support of this cherished White House tradition. Over 100 dedicated egg farmers and their families were present at the White House, volunteering their time to support activities like the egg hunt, egg roll, and the Hen-to-Home exhibit. Their presence on the South Lawn offered guests a unique opportunity to connect directly with the people who produce the food they enjoy every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s event featured a special visit from U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, who met with farmers at the AEB Hen-to-Home interactive exhibit. In support and recognition of the challenging year egg farmers have faced\u2014and all they continue to do to provide the nutritious eggs Americans love\u2014Secretary Rollins made a point to visit and spend meaningful time with farmers and their families volunteering on the South Lawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe White House Easter Egg Roll is the Super Bowl for eggs! Egg farmers and consumers were hit hard by the bird flu, but, thankfully under President Trump\u2019s leadership, my five-point plan to lower egg prices is working. Going into Easter weekend, wholesale egg prices were down 56 percent! This historic event is a great opportunity to celebrate this progress with America\u2019s hard working egg farmers,\u201d said Secretary Rollins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a true honor to welcome Secretary Rollins to the White House Easter Egg Roll and to have her spend time with our farmers on the South Lawn,\u201d said Emily Metz, president and CEO of the American Egg Board. \u201cHer visit was a powerful recognition of the hardworking men and women who produce our food, and the essential role that agriculture plays in the lives of all Americans. From the egg to the table, farming is more than a job\u2014it\u2019s a commitment to nourishing our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of the AEB\u2019s presence was the Hen-to-Home exhibit, which provided thousands of families with an engaging, hands-on look at the journey of an egg from farm to table. From learning about the care and dedication of America\u2019s egg farmers to engaging with the people behind egg production, the exhibit celebrated the commitment central to feeding American families. The exhibit also featured support from the National Corn Growers Association and United Soybean Board, whose crops play a crucial role in feeding the hens that produce nearly 90 billion eggs each year for Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis collaboration across agriculture illustrates our shared commitment to nourishing families and celebrating the resilience of our industry as a whole,\u201d said Metz. \u201cWe\u2019re also deeply grateful for the partnership and support of our corn and soy growers, whose crops are critical to nourishing the hens that produce the eggs Americans rely on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this year\u2019s White House Easter Egg Roll, President Donald Trump said: \u201cLet me also express our appreciation for America\u2019s Egg Farmers, who not only provided the eggs for this event, but who have helped lower egg prices by more than 50% since I took office\u2014which are now roughly $3 dollars a dozen.\u201d Joined by First Lady Melania Trump and the Easter Bunny, the President\u2019s comments spotlighted the hard work of America\u2019s farmers and the central role of eggs in the White House Easter Egg Roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Lady Melania Trump also expressed her gratitude, saying: \u201cIt was a pleasure to once again welcome America\u2019s egg farmers to the White House for this year\u2019s Easter Egg Roll. Their dedication to this tradition\u2014and to the families who enjoy it each year\u2014is truly appreciated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

America’s egg farmers also continued its tradition of presenting the First Lady\u2019s Commemorative Egg\u2014this year marking the 48th edition of the one-of-a-kind work of art. The intricately carved egg honored First Lady Melania Trump\u2019s commitment to children through her Fostering the Future Foundation. The First Lady expressed her gratitude and appreciation during the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AEB extends its gratitude to the White House for continuing this treasured partnership and looks forward to sustaining this longstanding tradition.
