Part 5/11:
Pigs, the clever and social creatures, possess incredible versatility when it comes to their diet. They eagerly gobble up kitchen scraps, garden leftovers, and grains, effectively acting as a cleanup crew for the farm. Their antics, intelligence, and ability to transform waste into nourishment contribute significantly to the reduce and reuse philosophy that underpins Amish practices.
Despite their playful nature—often rolling in mud for self-care—pigs play a pivotal role in creating a sustainable food cycle. The relationship between families and pigs is both practical and entertaining, filled with moments that reflect the heart of farm life.
