WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD NEWS) — Thirty thousand eggs are arriving on Capitol Hill today—destined for the South Lawn and this year’s White House Easter Egg Roll. The eggs are coming straight from a family farm in North Carolina—spotlighting the hard work behind America’s food supply and the farmers who help feed the nation.

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins shared a behind-the-scenes look at the journey as part of what’s being called the “Great American Egg Road Trip.”

According to Rollins, the farm is home to roughly two million hens—producing more than two million eggs every single day.
