Washington, D.C. (April 6, 2026)<\/strong> \u2013 America\u2019s egg farmers and the eggs Americans love played a starring \u201croll\u201d <\/em>today on the South Lawn at the 2026 White House Easter Egg Roll, continuing nearly 50 years of partnership supporting this cherished national tradition in a milestone year marking America\u2019s 250th anniversary. The celebration was brought to life with support from the American Egg Board (AEB), a legacy partner, highlighting the essential role eggs play in Easter festivities and honoring the hardworking farmers who produce them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 60,000 real eggs went into making the 2026 White House Easter Egg Roll an event to remember, spanning traditional South Lawn activities and delicious egg-centered food served to guests. This year\u2019s event featured nearly 40,000 hand-dyed and plain hard-boiled real eggs on the South Lawn, donated on behalf of America\u2019s egg farmers by Braswell Family Farms (Nashville, N.C.), for beloved activities including iconic egg roll races, egg hunts and egg decorating. An additional 17,000 real whole eggs and 20 gallons of egg yolks starred in a variety of egg-inspired bites served to guests on the South Lawn at the Liberty Caf\u00e9, courtesy of the American Egg Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 150 egg farmers and their families traveled to Washington to take part in the celebration, volunteering across South Lawn activities and offering guests a unique opportunity to connect directly with the people who produce their food. Farmer-led attractions included AEB\u2019s signature interactive \u201cHen-to-Home\u201d exhibit, which showcases the egg\u2019s journey from farm to table. The exhibit was supported by the United Soybean Board, whose crops play a vital role in feeding the hens that produce more than 90 billion eggs for Americans each year. In a special highlight, the exhibit quite literally came to life for the first time with 150 live chicks, delighting guests of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notable visitors to \u201cHen to Home\u201d included U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, who spent time with egg and soy farmers and their families and recognized their dedication to producing the nutritious, affordable eggs Americans rely on every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t have a White House Easter Egg Roll without real eggs,\u201d said Secretary Rollins. \u201cThis is a perfect opportunity to highlight what an incredible source of protein eggs are for American families. Eggs are as real as food gets \u2014 farm-fresh, completely natural, minimally processed and a source of eight essential nutrients. In the new Dietary Guidelines, eggs are listed first among the recommended proteins, and that\u2019s a big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur farmers are tremendously honored by Secretary Rollins\u2019 visit and grateful for the opportunity to share their stories and the incredibly nutritious and versatile eggs they produce with Americans at the heart of such a treasured national tradition,\u201d said Emily Metz, president and CEO of the American Egg Board. \u201cAmericans love eggs. They\u2019re indispensable to our daily lives, and today on the South Lawn, it\u2019s clear that Easter truly is the egg\u2019s Super Bowl.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his annual remarks from the South Lawn balcony, President Donald Trump said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is about eggs. Today we have more than 40,000 eggs being supplied by all of the great egg farmers here in the U.S. and I want to thank all of the egg farmers that are here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joined by First Lady Melania Trump and the Easter Bunny, the president\u2019s remarks highlighted the central role of eggs in the White House Easter Egg Roll and the importance of farmers to the daily lives of Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuing a long-standing tradition, the American Egg Board also presented the First Lady\u2019s Commemorative Egg<\/a>, marking the 49th edition of the one-of-a-kind work of art honoring the First Lady. The 2026 Commemorative Egg, presented to First Lady Melania Trump on behalf of America\u2019s egg farmers, was crafted using the traditional Pysanky technique and blends time-honored symbolism with bold American imagery to celebrate the nation\u2019s 250th anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s First Lady\u2019s Commemorative Egg is the sixth honoring Mrs. Trump, with predecessors also proudly displayed at this year\u2019s White House Easter Egg Roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
