Show Notes
Today’s Farm4Fun episode brings you straight to the porch of Braswell Family Farms, where Trey Braswell, the fourth-generation president of a well-known East-Coast egg and feed operation, walks us through his roots, his responsibilities, and the heart behind a business built for generations.
We explore how the farm began in 1943 as a small grist mill — and over 80 years and four generations later has grown into one of the largest private-label and specialty-egg producers on the East Coast, with a robust feed mill and diverse operations.
Trey shares how he started working on the farm in high school — sweeping floors, unloading rail cars, maintaining mill bins — and later earned a business degree to come back with new ideas.
We talk about major milestones under his leadership: building new pullet and layer houses, launching pasture-raised organic egg production, rebranding to Braswell Family Farms (formerly Braswell Foods), and embedding a culture guided by faith and stewardship.
But more than facilities and production, we dig into values: how he works to make employees feel like family, establishes a “Stewardship Team,” and leads with a mission rooted in integrity, humility, and service.
Expect stories — the earliest years, the tough decisions, the vision for organic and cage-free eggs, and what it really means to manage a 4-generation farm business in 2025. All with the honesty and warmth of a conversation on the porch.
Whether you’re a young farmer, seasoned producer, or just curious where your eggs come from, this episode offers a real glimpse into values-driven agriculture, family legacy, and the hard work behind every carton.
