WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD NEWS) — A longstanding White House tradition continues this year, as children from across the country prepare to take part in the annual Easter Egg Roll, a tradition dating back to at least 1878.
Trey Braswell of Braswell Family Farms joined us on Thursday’s Market Day Report ahead of the big Easter celebration on Monday to discuss his company’s role in supplying eggs for the event for the fifth consecutive year.
In his conversation with RFD NEWS, Braswell reflected on his first-time involvement in the event and shared highlights from his years supplying eggs to the White House. He also discussed the process of getting eggs from the farm to Washington for the event.
Braswell spoke about a recent visit to the farm ahead of the shipment and whether he plans to attend the event in person. He also addressed a separate announcement from the American Egg Board about a major donation to support the incorporation of eggs into school meals and shared his thoughts on the collaboration.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order this week to accelerate domestic production of phosphorus and glyphosate, signaling that farm input availability is now treated as a national security risk.
