(Washington, D.C., April 21, 2025) – U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins joined the 2025 White House Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn alongside American egg producers.
"The White House Easter Egg Roll is the yearly Super Bowl for eggs! Egg farmers and consumers were hit hard by the negative impacts of the bird flu this past year, but, thankfully under President Trump's leadership, our five-point plan to combat avian flu and lower egg prices is working. Going into Easter weekend, wholesale egg prices are down 56 percent! This historic event is a great opportunity to celebrate this progress alongside America's hard working egg farmers," said Secretary Rollins.
Secretary Rollins has worked diligently to support American poultry and egg producers, combat avian flu, and lower the cost of eggs for consumers. In February, she announced a five-point plan to combat the avian flu and lower egg prices which has been applauded by agriculture and government leaders across the country. When the five-point plan was announced, the wholesale price of eggs was $8.53/dozen. As of Easter weekend, the wholesale price of eggs is 56 percent lower at $3.72/dozen.
The White House Easter Egg Roll is a tradition dating back to 1878, and this year, an estimated 30,000 real eggs donated by American egg farmers were used in the festivities.
