Egg Price Hike 1: Price Reality and the Upcoming Holidays

As Easter and Passover approach, many families are preparing for the traditional egg hunts and Seder plates—but this year, we’re all pretty well aware of what we’re getting into when it comes to egg prices. Egg costs are setting new records in 2025, with prices rising over 350% per dozen compared to this time last year.

This steep increase in egg prices is significant for consumers and the food industry alike. Restaurants are being forced to raise menu prices just to absorb the higher cost of eggs. But what’s behind these record-high prices? In the upcoming five-part series, we will break down the two biggest factors contributing to the price hikes: HPAI and inflation. We’ll also be taking a look at how these price surges reflect the broader challenges faced by farmers. Join us as we explore these issues and dive deeper into the causes and resilience of the egg industry.
