Everything serves a purpose on Dog Mountain Farm, even the weeds.
Trees and gardens produce fruits and vegetables, chickens and ducks produce eggs, various other animals provide meat, and all provide fertilizer components. The weeds are food and work for the farm pig.

She pens the pig wherever she wants land cleared, and he goes to work, digging and eating plants, roots and all. Even tenacious dandelions don’t grow back.
